From Alex:
Do you think speed work for running is best done all
year, weekly? I am just coming off an IM a month ago
and am planning for Arizona . I want to really be ready
for that marathon so that I can look forward to running
it and run it well. This last race I had to walk a lot. What
would your game plan be to this?
From Dave Scott:
Alex, IM Arizona is in five
plus months. You have plenty of time to develop
your "speed" for the Ironman running segment.
Recognize that the key element in running a faster leg
is to develop your early season "sustained strength"
or muscular endurance. There are three vital
components that could be implemented in October
through December:

Well, the month of November was spent in US Army
Pathfinder School, one of the Army's most
academically challenging schools. We began the
course with 65 Soldiers and will graduate 34 this
Friday. Over the course of three weeks we were tested
on our knowledge of Sling-Loads, Helicopter Landing
Zones and Pick-up Zones, and three different types of
drop zones. The course culminated last night when
we completed 24 hours in the field applying all that we
had learned over the last three weeks.

and 2008 Age Group World Champion
As a coach, I've worked with many first-timers, helping
them through their personal journey to find the Holy
Grail, the Ironman finish line. Some of these folks
spent months and some years, preparing for that
moment when Mike Reilly welcomes them home with
those famous words. . . "You are an Ironman!"

IMA Race Report |
|
|
|
by BodyHealth Team Member Alex McDonald
My rookie pro season ended on a mixed note in
Tempe, AZ on Sunday. It was a last minute decision to
race one last Ironman after Kona this year. Given the
length of the season, the proximity to Kona and other
factors I knew my race was going to be ridiculous. . .
the only question was if it was going to be ridiculously
good or ridiculously bad. It may sound obnoxious, and
apologize if it does, but at this point in my career
finishing an Ironman is no longer the goal, finishing
an Ironman as fast as I can is the goal. Unfortunately,
my race was ridiculously bad and my day ended with a
DNF in the medical tent, although there were many
silver linings.
I used this race to test my limits and see where things
shook out. My goals were to swim hard, bike hard
(harder than I usually do) and see what was left for the
run. Quite frankly I accomplished my goals, so I can't
complain too much. I set personal best times in the
swim at 52 minutes, exiting the water with the main
group and then had the 14th fastest bike split of the
day in a time of 4:39, another PR by about 16 minutes.
I learned a lot and have certainly gained some
confidence and insight that will serve me well in the
future and will ultimately help me to become a better
athlete. Enough about that . . . onto the days events.
The swim was a little chilly to begin with, as the sun
was not even up at 6:50 when the pro wave started. It
was actually pretty hard to see while I was warming up
because of the tinting on my goggles.
