Ironman training tips

Written By Jamie Foster

Notes for my future self if I decide to race again.

Swim: knees stiff, kick from the hips. Breath normally. Relax and reach. Get another lesson as a check-in if needed

Bike: 1 scoop of powder in bottle, sip Gatorade every 10min. Cadence needs to be at least 75-90 (spin baby spin). Eat x3-4 gu's every hour. If legs feel crampy, eat the damn salt. Don’t skip the last carb load.

Run: shake our shoulders, easy first mile. Sip Gatorade every 10 min-ish.

Recovery: Massage x2/month, protein asap, track sleep
