Is the arm strap better than the wrist one of your watch? I just don’t understand how it would be as good as the chest one… 😅

I’ve signed up for Bolton next June. never done one before so doing loads of research.

I would love to one day do an iron man, but it’s the expense that’s the biggest barrier. I am starting to love triathlon but it’s not an accessible sport for people on low income (I work but I have a disability). I’d love to do bigger races but the race itself costs plus prep and equipment!

Such a huge achievement! Incredible 🎉

Do you have a personal coach or got the training plan of a platform? :)

How beautiful videos you have created. I enjoyed your all videos. But everytime I was disappointing to see your video views.

Hey great vid. I'm heading to Vilamoura in September and will be in the middle of training for Dublin Marathon in October. I'm hoping I can find a little quiet track to rack up some miles. That route you were on looks ideal - do you have a name for that road or broad directions to find it? We'll be staying in Crowne Plaza so fairly central. Thanks :)

i've always disliked it when people say, "it's like you're running on clouds." never fails to disappoint!

Doing my first sprint on Sunday…it’s a very hilly route but pool start! I’m mostly excited but slightly scared too! I will be wearing socks though… neurodivergent sensory issue right there

Great video and storytelling! Gutted to hear they didn’t say your name 😭

Just found this video - I did WLST and that wind was *BRUTAL*

We need to analyse what happened with the valve extender so that we can remove the risk for future events. You did extremely well to regain your focus after a disappointing swim.

Great work team!

Hope you had a great race 👌

Vilamoura Running Club , are a great bunch of guys, and girls. They run most Sundays , from just outside Vilamoura Burger King. 0800 hrs start for those who like faster pace, and 0900 hrs for those who like a steadier pace. Always make you welcome.

9:47 the man even sounds like Peter Kay

Informative!

i don't even have "girls" and a chest strap isn't very comfy. I've never heard of an arm strap, but i'm going to look into it.

Sound common sense advice from you as always Kate and based on your own experience. You are a good role model for all women who do endurance sports.

Awesome job. Great racing both 💪

I think you swim beautifully, most of swimming videos of triathletes I watched were not that good. Your amount of knee bend looks fine to me. Like Brenton Ford the founder of Effortless Swimming once said when we analyse our swimmimg video footage, we're the hardest critics ourself.

It's best to train to raise your LT1. Carbs are a bit like caffeine or alcohol, they're great and do a job but you have to be careful not to get dependent.

I think I've tried all the same stuff you've tried. I'm all for an affordable mix. Thank you for posting this.

Love this, I'm phasing out expensive chews in favour of bulk buying sweets, tested at Outlaw Half last weekend with no issues :D

Love the video. A little jealous of the scenery for your run! Keep up the great work! Dropped you a like.

Hey! This was great Kaggie! Just found your channel - I hear a Northern accent! I'm based in West Yorkshire and looking for a training buddy if you're ever up for a bike or run sesh! did my first Olympic a few years back and getting back into the swing of things! Keep up the good youtube work! x

Greg is absolutely buzzing with the birthday haul :D

Great! Keep it up! I just went outside to run too and it feels great.

the best! Keep it up! Great video, enjoy the sun!

Not an expert swimmer but these are some observations that might help you. 1) Head tilt. You're facing a bit forward, your overall position might be improved by keeping you sight to 45 deg (3:14) 2) Your catch is late. The catch starts after you glide/extend. What's happening is you drop your arm and catch midway (I think you mentioned that as well). You'll clearly see this when you paused your video at 3:30. Look at where you started the catch at 3:35. 4) Your left elbow is dropping, you'll see the entire arm drop while still breathing at 3:29, 3:50 and 4:00. Ideally you want to keep that straight and close to the surface as you extend just before you make your catch. 5) Your rotation on the non-breathing side is happening on the shoulders only. Again you'll notice this when you paused your video at 3:44. But more clearly at the 5:00 mark. It's not necessarily the S pull but rotating from your hips will get you that better pull and exit. This might address your entire arm being too wide as well. Good luck!

Hi! I'm not a very good swimmer, but I've watched quite a lot of swim analysis videos. Apart from what you said what I noticed was: Yes, you're leg work is good, but I do think you're hips are sitting still a bit low. You have a bit of an arch in your lower back and sometimes there is a little pool forming which means unnecessary drag. The reason for this might be that you are looking too much forward. Everybody is different of course, but from what I know, you should be looking no more than 45 degrees in front, rather less or even straight down depending on your personal anatomy. What is your head position like when you breathe?

I think I swim super smooth and then I watch a video of myself 😂😂 Good luck with the improvements 👌

Nice video! You did miss out the part where you physically pushed past a slower runner and said "she shouldn't be in this race". But you come across pretty nice on KZbin so that's OK. Maybe see you next year!

Seeing you loving your best life doing this fills me with so much happiness! You look great my girl keep it up xxxx

Well done! keep it up! 💪

What an adventure! Well done team!

Are you pro cyclist ?

Thanks for the inspiration ! Definitely a great insight

Take a break bro it's been years

Dam

Yes you inspired me to do an FTP test this afternoon, its been a while, well done on your progress and have a good time in Portugal.

Well done just found your channel. Sprints are tough.

Well done Kate!! Under 1:45 😆😆😆

Great work Kate! The video guy is worth the money too

Bike 19.19mph average in those conditions is a really good result.

Great result, congratulations

Smashed it. Well done 👌

9.5 hours! Living. The. Dream.

In the 1980's I ran home every weekday for more than 5 years, first 3 miles in London and then 7 miles in Birmingham. It was my commute and I certainly did it at times when I was ill but there was no smart watch, no heart rate monitor and no Training Peaks. I just ran slowly. This is OK when you are using it as a way to commute but I agree that it is not wise to continue with a structured training programme if you are ill. Use the time to get even more sleep and give your body a chance to recover. I don't know if I have ever had nine and a half hours sleep in one go! You improved your half marathon PB by four minutes at Liverpool a week ago with a cold developing so I'm looking forward to seeing how fast you can really go later in the season - hope you find a suitable race to enter.

1:20 “my view is that I don’t think you should *coughs* train” 😂
