| Q and A with Dave Scott |
|
From Bob in NYC:
How many workouts per week do you do a brick
workout, run after bike? Please give me an idea of
how many bricks you would do before an Ironman and
how many miles the buildup would eventually get to?
From Dave Scott:
Bob, brick sessions are
beneficial primarily for three reasons:
- The brick emphasis can change throughout the
year depending on your strengths and weaknesses.
I.E. run - bike - run or bike - run - bike or a double
brick of shorter distances
- Bricks are optimal to teach your body to burn fuel
at race pace or slightly faster than race pace.
- Bricks that are split, particularly the run (run -
bike - run) do not have the cumulative "wear and tear"
as a long run does - consequently, intensity and
recovery can be optimized.

| Toxic Buildup and What to Do About It |
|
The challenge of all sports and training is to improve
current performance and reach new goals in whatever
sport one is playing.
Two very important factors underlie all training and will
determine if you will reach your goals or not.
1. Nutrition is the most important factor. Adequate
nutrients must be available to build your tissues and
organs as well as provide fuel for energy.

| Kona Report Alex MacDonald |

Here is a brief race report. As you may know, it
went well, although not exactly the race I wanted or
know I am capable of. I encountered a lot of adversity
and pushed through to the finish line, after all it is the
superbowl of triathlon and quitting is not my style, I
had to finish! After a disappointing swim where, aside
from some rookie mistakes, I lost my timing chip and
had to get a new one in T1. Then I had some
mechanical issues with my bike which required a few
stops along the course and some help from tech
support.

Ironman - Now That You've Committed |
|
|
|
by Cherie Gruenfeld 2008 IM Age Group World
Champion
There seems to be a phenomenon that is occurring
with the availability of so many Ironman races.
Ironman has truly become Everyman's Everest. In the
past it was a challenge taken only by the few, much
like climbing the tallest mountain in the world. Now,
just as there seem to be hordes of people trekking up
the North face of Everest, Ironman races fill up within
hours, and sometimes minutes.
So what happens when someone makes this
commitment? It's not uncommon for a bit of panic to
set in and the question to arise: How will I pull this off?
So I'm offering a few guidelines to help you have a
great Ironman experience. I don't for a minute mean to
suggest that it's as simple as merely following a few
guidelines. But I think some of these ideas may help
you train successfully, get to the start line healthy and
finish the race in style.
Take care of your support team
No one does an Ironman alone. We all need the
support of family, friends and co-workers. You, as an
athlete, have chosen to make the necessary
sacrifices. Those involved with you will be making
sacrifices as well and they'll be doing this so that you
can achieve your goal. Keep this in mind and give
them some extra care and attention whenever
possible.
During the holiday season, it's reasonable to put your
training at a lower priority.There will come a time later
on when it won't be as easy, so take advantage of this
time to enjoy the family and let them enjoy you. A
suggestion for getting the family more involved with
the sport is to take them to a sprint tri and race
alongside your spouse or kids.
