Ironman 2021 SIGNED UP | TRAINERROAD Plan Day 1

[@ptinkler]

Mark, I just want to let you know how much I've always enjoyed your videos, going right back to the off-road biking ones. No idea why you only have 3.5k subscribers, keep up the good work and good luck with your activities!

[@ptinkler]

How the hell do you get time to play computer games too?

Reading this 3 years later with his 257K subscribers 🎉

[@caspersampson7538]

Shame you never did this. Would have absolutely loved to watch the series

[@GogglesTyresandTrainers]

Hamburg looks awesome. Definitely one I'd like to do in future. Best tip I had was to do a 10 minute run and 10 minute bike the day before just to keep the neural pathways sharp ahead of tomorrow. Stay hydrated chap, headaches are my nemesis :( Don't beat yourself over the swim, loads of time to do the swim work, slow and steady.

@@MarkLewisfitness all been there Mark, I've had time from the water since March, I wondered how the hell I did the Ironman swim when I was in the ocean last week

[@deckydoherty]

Just watched this, and signed up for Hamburg Ironman 2025. What the hell have I done. 😂

[@gabriellakyriacou-ee6ix]

You got this You will be IRONMAN yaaaiii

[@Noriek_tok]

Good luck with the duathlon. I’m switching from pure cycling to tri and dua thlon. Base phase coming up for me lol

[@jackalker6384]

i worked at 3 of the bolton iron man events, it starts at pennington flash which is a lovely place, it's not the most picturesque ironman in the world but i wouldnt write it off

[@AquaticJunky]

Trainerroad and their plans are great. But might be to heavy on intensity sometimes so when in doubt decrease/skip intensity rather than increase/add :) Especially that FTP as a metric hasnt got much to do with the physiological thresholds which are slightly lower in most cases. You TET western videos have inspired me to try it next year.

[@AquaticJunky]

@@MarkLewisfitness Thanks. I do planted tanks for a living. TR times gave me best times then all went downhill with professional coaches :) I slightly modified run intensities and followed swimsmooth swim plan. TR overall schedule though. Did IM Wales 2017 as a first (well and only so far) Elements an adventure of its own.

[@jensbrueckmann490]

Viel Erfolg für Hamburg 😀

[@Amadeusz90]

Hey Mark, as someone who's going through a similar journey although on a slightly less serious level I really enjoy the vids. The only complaint I have is that the audio (your voice) is sometimes noticably quieter than the rest of the audio. Would you consider getting a mike for the interior shots?

[@neiloliver7435]

Mark hooked on your vids great work, swimming you don’t need anymore fitness technique ,technique is the key to big gains .although maybe Ironman has now lost you to highrox keep the great work

[@nosirrahm]

This training is a full time job. Oh my.

[@Running.jason2.0]

You’re not alone with your irrational fear of sharks!! 😊

[@mikemumtaz1054]

What happened to the Ironman training?

[@jesselanehart6999]

I have considered doing an Ironman although I'm nowhere close to being ready. My concern is how does someone deal with or get past the fear of sharks because that in itself would be enough for me to just decline doing an Ironman in the first place

[@haypro4713]

If you’re swimming in a race the chances of you being attacked by a shark are so small they’re incomprehensible. Or you could swim in fresh water. Or a pool.

[@WisePaul1337]

Good luck :)

[@DP-sh3nk]

Im sensing a theme... you know you don't HAVE to buy all the options, right? regardless good luck, I'm sure you'll crush it and hope we have races in 2021!

[@jimbruce4348]

This is all sounding very complicated.

[@eddolous]

Don’t mention the war

[@andrewzach1921]

With all the options you probably checked no wonder you are still pissed at them for keeping your money. Maybe one day you can find a different type of triathlon.

[@pauldeaks1212]

They spank your ass do Ironman , the outlaw series or lakesman are a lot cheaper

[@Mef637]

Hi mark. Enjoy all your stuff. Just curious why you decided not to pursue the Ironman. I know you hate swimming. Was the the main reason?

[@MarkLewisfitness]

They cancelled my event during covid and kept the money. Scum bag company.
