Becoming An Ironman From Zero Experience in 7 months: EP 1

[@Christomshack]

Coming from someone who went from zero experience to Ironman in under 6 months (3x finisher now), I can confidently say you've embarked on a journey that, if completed, will be one of the most incredibly fulfilling experiences ever. Enjoy the journey, celebrate the small wins along the way, dial in your training and nutrition, and crush it on race day. Best of luck man 🤝

[@brodysearle]

Thank you brother! 🤝🤝

[@itisdanmoore]

No idea how this video arrived in my recommended, but it's exactly what I needed. Excellent quality video, and inspirational journey. Looking forward to following along, respect bro

[@brodysearle]

Thanks brother! Means a lot. Hopefully the series can inspire you to do an Ironman too! 😅

[@marcom22]

Your not the only one. I’m in there with you! June 2nd. Let’s do this 💪

[@brodysearle]

Let’s go mate!

[@rob.hodgson]

Great video. Good on you. I did my first IM a few years ago. Was absolutely magical! Keep stretching, eating well and focus on good sleep to help your recovery over these coming months

[@brodysearle]

Sleep is 100% the hardest part for me! Always feels broken haha but getting recommended hours and feeling good at the moment! Thanks mate and congrats to you also!

[@shredwithrobert]

I did this last year. Really eager to see you progress. Keep pushing !

[@brodysearle]

Amazing mate!!

[@AllanSteffensenSteffensen]

Yes!! been looking for this since I saw Average rob do it. Keep going champ!

[@brodysearle]

Thanks mate!!

[@zakjackpt]

This video found me at the right time, I just signed up for Ironman Cairns 2024 with no triathlon experience. 8 months from zero to Ironman, just like you mate! Keen to see your journey unfold.

[@brodysearle]

Amazing bro!!! Very similar to me, hopefully you can learn from my mistakes haha

[@zakjackpt]

we can learn from each other haha@@brodysearle

[@l.areuss]

Just watchted your video because I really want to do an Ironman. I did my first small triathlon this year and I went through similar struggles like you. And I found the reason why you are doing the Ironman to raise awareness makes it even more special. Keep going, even when you just want to give up!

[@brodysearle]

Thanks Ella!! I believe in you to do it 😁

[@pavelevstratov4588]

Subscribed! I wish you the very best of luck on your journey! I am an Ironman (Barcelona 9:48) too, and I know how much pain it can be, but it's worth making it happen.

[@brodysearle]

Wow bro amazing time! Thank you!

[@paddy.mcclintock]

Hey Brody, found this serious so incredibly inspiring. I’ve just had major knee surgery, and you’ve inspired me to start filming my recovery to doing a full Ironman one year on from not being able to walk. Keep the brilliant work up! Look forward to seeing this work continue!

[@brodysearle]

Thanks mate!! Keep going, tag me when you start :)

[@moredatesmoreplates2312]

Doesn't sound ridiculous mate! Small improvements day by day and you will NAIL IT!

[@brodysearle]

Thank you brother! Much love!

[@angeliquebliss]

I just came home from an Ironman event in my city. The event will be on Sunday. I just want to watch a video about Ironman journey and it's funny that I resonate so much on this video. The most dangerous thing you give someone is hope. I don't know how to swim, nor ride a bike ever, I'm an average runner. Let's see where this goes. The video is just motivating and inspiring!

[@brodysearle]

Thank you! You can do it!!!

[@naturally_alice]

So bloody excited to watch your videos!! You’ve got this!!!

[@brodysearle]

Thank you!!!

[@seanbarryuk]

Hey Brody, I'm Seán from Scotland. YT just recommended me this video - I'm in a similar boat. I'm doing one of the UK's hardest triathlons (the Celtman) in June 2024 and I've started training last week with basically 0 experience. I was also planning on documenting the journey so it's funny to come across this video and see someone else doing something so similar!

[@brodysearle]

Do it mate!!! Good luck! :)

[@randomdude71kwnd]

I subscribed to you now in case you do it. Can't wait!

[@donovanmifsud8664]

Im 4 years sober now ...im only a runner ...but i do swim , yoga and also cycle as part of crosstraining ....doing an ironman is def on my bucketlist ...this is my wake up call to start taking lofe seriously .....cut out distractions ......face my fears....such as open.water swimming ...which i need to get better at ....🎉❤...but im sure ill.get there ...well done and tnx for sharing😊😊

[@sorenzartov]

You can do it ! Last year I started training for Copenhagen Ironman, with 9 months of training. 9 months laters I finished. Didnt knew how to swim, very little bike experience but been running for a while. Go for it !

[@brodysearle]

How’d you go??

[@trentdoyledoyletrent]

Same . What was your time ?

[@sorenzartov]

Good ! I did a time of 9 hours 34 min ! :)

[@brodysearle]

@@sorenzartov that’s incredible mate

[@MrJoeroen]

I feel you. Nice to see your struggles as I experience them myself since I am also training for a full Triathlon next year september. I will for sure check your video's. Best of luck and keep going strong. And many thanks for sharing.

[@jacob14721472]

@@brodysearle terrible. Didn’t sleep well and didn’t recovery all too well since it was after a long stint away from the gym. Make sure to eat and fuel before workouts properly is the biggest thing I learned in the first week. Just keep pushing! All you can do is keep moving forward!

[@brodysearle]

[@liamdevlin9419]

Looking to run my first ironman 70.3 in Bolton at the end of next June. I have little to no swimming/ cycling background so looking forward to following this series as I myself encounter a lot of the same issues. Best of luck.

[@thomaswright968]

This is awesome! Pumped to see you do this and smash it hard - if you want any help - I’m a PT over in England - and I’d happily help out if I can! Can imagine you’ve got some help already, but just incase you haven’t :) Looking forward to the rest of the series 💪🏻👊🏻

[@brodysearle]

Thanks Thomas! I’ll happily take any help I can get! I’ve currently got a number of health professionals helping me with the programming and injuries but happy for any help along the way 😅

[@JoëyKoesen]

Great job on the quality of the first video! You're gonna pop off if you keep uploading consistently. I'm really looking forward to seeing how your journey goes. Mainly because I also just set the goal to partake in the Ironman of Hamburg on 2 June while being a beginner in the 3 sports. My reason is to have complete self-control over my mind. What is your why?

[@brodysearle]

Thanks mate! Appreciate it a lot. All the best with your journey too! It is a big learning curve starting from knowing absolutely nothing!!

[@RFazor]

Holy cow!

[@brodysearle]

haha thank you!

[@yaronzi100]

I also want to start training..I just don’t know if at age 33 it is possible (I want to do it in 1-2 years from now)

[@brodysearle]

Always possible man! If you give yourself a longer time frame, more than enough time to adapt! 😁😁

[@AlexGribbenMentoring]

Legend love this man 👊 I have just done a similar thing in 2023 posting my full recap and breakdown of the journey , if you need any support or even just questions (don’t hesitate to reach out ) (0 pitch here or not selling anything BTW ) just gone through a similar process , I finished Ironman wales in 16:24 after 9 months training , you got this dude

Amazing

[@brodysearle]

Thanks Joel!

[@textmxker5262]

Where do I get your Trainings Plan ?

[@brodysearle]

Don’t have any at the moment mate! Have a coach now :)

[@thomasray8275]

I'm considering doing this ironman, i'm a 18 year old from Geelong, have exams in 2 weeks and wouldn't be able to start training until start of November, my goal is to just finish but i would be doing it off very little training. should i still go for it?

[@brodysearle]

Best of luck with you VCE exams mate! My goal is also to finish as well! I’ll have a few people jumping on to talk about the preparation so hopefully it can help you out after your exams! There’s a Geelong 70.3 in March by the way!!

[@thomasray8275]

@@brodysearle Oh great!!, thank you and yeah i saw the 70.3, i think it's worth doing that first

[@brodysearle]

@@thomasray8275 agreed, I may also do this in my prep!

[@oneflyg35]

"4k swim. Not even a quarter." What? I think I miss heard. Was your first swim ever 4 kilometers???? And a quarter of what?

[@brodysearle]

Sorry, it was 500m swim in 20 minutes and 53 seconds! I think at the time I was thinking about a half ironman distance because I was drowning haha so referring to the quarter aspect, I was referring to a 4km swim but I only managed 500m which is only 1/8! I was honestly super gassed there!

[@EmilyMarais]

What are u raising awareness for?

[@lonely-_-street9515]

He's raising awareness for T2KO

[@brodysearle]

Raising awareness for T2KO which stands for It's Time 2 Know Osteosarcoma. If you want; there is a link in my bio to read more about it or you can head to their socials also: www.t2ko.com.au / instagram.com/t2ko__/. Will be making a further video on this with Zac, the founder, soon :)

[@LTGNGNUGGT]

God dam, no experience then goes out and does a 4km swim first up. 😮

[@brodysearle]

Nah was only 500m in 20 minutes hahah I was full delusional after that swim clearly 🤣

[@LTGNGNUGGT]

@@brodysearle😂was gonna say, what an effort, keep striving mate

[@brodysearle]

@@LTGNGNUGGT probably would’ve been saved by the lifeguard if I attempted that first day 🤣

[@imutkarshy]

Everything looks good, other than the part that you learned swimming within a day. Breathing is the hardest part, and you aced that within a day; it looks like a joke to me.

[@brodysearle]

Was just joking around mate! I am in no way a good swimmer haha breathing is 100% the hardest part I agree.

[@brodysearle]

You’ll see in the next few videos and on my Strava how I say I struggle with breathing a lot!

[@imutkarshy]

@@brodysearle Haha, exactly. I'm still struggling with it. Moreover, I just saw the 2nd part and realised that it was a joke but great content mate. Keep them coming. Definitely taking inspiration from you.

[@brodysearle]

I am doing a video in a few weeks on swimming mate! Shoot me a message on Insta and I'll link you when the times comes - hopefully it can help you out, as I know it's daunting.@@imutkarshy

[@juicyfruit100x]

What is T2KO? I obviously need awareness

[@brodysearle]

T2KO is a non for profit organisation by Zac Pettit who I’ve gotten close with over the last 5 months! It stands for it’s Time 2 Know Osteosarcoma. Feel free to check out their Insta for more!! :) instagram.com/t2ko__?igshid=MmVlMjlkMTBhMg==
