Annual Planning: Who Is This Triathlete?
Pursuit Athletic Performance Annual Planning: Who Is This Triathlete? I’ve reviewed the GA options and do want to consider that. We are tightening the belt some. I couldn’t justify this expense right now. Injuries/Ailments: Have some minor/nagging right knee pain otherwise no issues at this time or major ones from the past. Knee pain hasn’t slowed me down. I consider myself pretty tough - not afraid of pain or training smart/hard. Swimming: I consider myself an average swimmer. Best swim time for 2.4m is 1:16 Cycling: I really would like to get stronger on the bike. My best IM bike time is 6:15. Would like to shave 30 minutes off that time and still be fit to RUN a marathon. Running: I feel this is my strongest of the 3 disciplines. 3:50 marathon is my best in IM no stops. Probably good benefit most from speed work. Strength: Need lots of core work - not a big fan of it though :). I don’t have a good routine. Flexibility: I have done yoga but not consistently. I do see value in how yoga improves overall performance and would like to incorporate (access to Pilates classes too). Nutrition: Need a complete overhaul here. Had my best success with carbopro. But like most nutritional supplements you can only take the taste for so long. I only followed a real training plan for my first (best) IM…IMAZ in 11:36:05. For my next 3, I made up my training plan based on research, thinking I knew more than I did and in hindsight I suffered. I feel I have mastered the ability to make an IM harder than it actually has to be. My goal for IMMT is to get to the start line healthy and fit to have a shot at a PR. My best IM time is 11:36:05. I would love to see a sub 11 hour IM. I have a pretty flexible schedule and very supportive family. © PURSUIT ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE © PURSUIT ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE
