Off season 2012

[marathondan]

I think a full Ironman is beyond the reach of normal mortals, unless they're prepared to throw vast amounts of time and money at it. Even the longest marathon training session can be completed by coffee time on a Sunday morning, but I imagine in the latter stages of Ironman training you've got to be looking at a few 8-10 hour sessions. And the £50 eBay banger bike isn't going to cut it over 112 miles, not within one day anyway. I did have a plan to get from zero to half ironman in 5 years. Two summers have passed now with no real progress. Time to decide this year whether I'm serious about that or not. Maybe I'll mull it over while I'm making my giant chicken costume.
