Thanks I know for 25k on the trail it took just over 4 hours. That is why we are figuring over 8 hours. I think i might up the hours up the hours if the knee is OK by than. I had a fall yesterday not running. It was an uneven road and I did not know it was uneven and my foot caught and down I went and my knee**** Not what I needed. Thanks for your advice.
It all starts with a dream . . . as you train for and finish your half Ironman, it'll build the self confidence to pursue your next goal.
And I agree that it is sometimes difficult to understand the relationship of food intake, exercise and weight gain. When my weight starts increasing, I go back to tracking every bite in a food journal to see my actual calorie intake and the quality of what I've been eating. Usually I find that I've let my protein slip and am overestimating the calories burned during my workouts.
Good luck on training for your half!

Congratulations! I love the triathlete community and having multiple options to be active. Sounds like you've definitely been bitten by the bug!
Thanks. As far as the training, it depends I guess. Does your trainer have an understanding of how far 4 hours is in terms of miles for you? I know that for me on a flat road that can be 25 miles but on some trails that's closer to 15. That's kind of why I don't like training plans based on time. If your knee can take it, I would make sure I had at least a 20 miler in the same type of terrain as the race. But the old saying is, it's better to be 10% under trained than to be 1% injured.

You are amazing. I hope to do half iron man next year. truly admire people who can do the full. I dream about it but I don't think I could do it.
I am trying so hard to lose 20 pounds that I have put on and I can not get it off. I have no idea why i have gained when i exercise all the time and watch what I eat. I wish I looked as good as you.
you rocked it. amazing. i could not even think of running it in 4hours. I am happy being just over 6.
You will be great at the 50k race
Can i ask you a question. I am going to anyhow.
I have my long run coming up next weekend and it is suppose to be my longest run that i will have for my 50k race. My trainer is gone away so I can not ask her but she has me down for 4 hours and I am sort of worried that it is not long enough when i am looking at being out there on race day for over 8 hours. Do you think I should increase it to 5 or 6 hours or stay with her plan.
I am wondering if she is keeping it to 4 because of my knee issue and not wanting to put to much mileage on the knee.
Would love your advice. nerves are getting to me
Thank you so much for very inspiring Post!!!! A full ironman is AWESOME....I have done a full marathon and a separate Sprint Tri...goal of an Olympic Tri is next....like you said gotta continue to play!
