TRAINING FOR MY FIRST IRONMAN 70.3 AS A PLUS SIZED TRIATHLETE [week of workouts]

[@hollyetravels]

As a 40 year old overweight aspiring (?) or wishful thinking Ironman, I can't wait to follow your journey!

[@EveryBodyTri]

Yessss!! I really believe anyone who dedicates themselves to the training can do it! 💪🏻

[@marcusmartensson]

@@EveryBodyTri yes, that’s the mindset! 🙏🏼 let’s do this 🏊🏼🚴🏼🏃🏻‍♂️

[@a.wats.9454]

So excited to see this journey! Can you do a video on how you fuel and another on why you chose to do an Ironman and how you’ve worked up to it?

[@forgetful212]

Your hands aren't pulling water; they are cutting it. Make sure your palms are horizontal pressing against the water. All the best in your training!

[@EveryBodyTri]

Thanks!

[@OpenWaterDevon]

Yasssss! Love this content, refreshing to see a more average triathlete training vlog ❤

[@billylee5335]

🗣️Everybody Tri!!!! I Love it!!!

[@hannahjordan7303]

badass!! I'll definitely be following your journey. Do you have a coach or are you self-training?

[@EveryBodyTri]

Thank you!! I do have a coach, I like it a bit better than being self directed!

[@uNexAPB]

This is really inspiring to watch! Good luck to you! I am confident you can make it! Subscribed!

[@EveryBodyTri]

Thank you!!

[@AlyssaWatt]

Badass ! Proud of you!

[@waterboy1059]

Good luck for your 70.3.

[@solangebutler7194]

Could you do a video talking about your journey to getting into triathalons. I am running my first marathon soon and have been getting into endurance sports generally. I would love to know more ☺️ I am loosely thinking of trying to do a triathalon at some point

[@EveryBodyTri]

That’s awesome! Good luck on the marathon! Yes I can definitely do that. I’m a little behind on vlogs right now 😅 but I’ll put it on the list!

[@marcusmartensson]

Cool! I’m on the same journey to my first Ironman 70.3 ✌🏼

[@EveryBodyTri]

That’s awesome! Which one?

[@marcusmartensson]

@@EveryBodyTri Jönköping, Sweden. 7th of July 🙌🏼 thrilled 😁

[@SwimBikeRunStu]

How cool that your pool is that empty and you can film. Proper jealous 😮

[@trisax62]

Thanks for your journey update. Is that a TTL shirt you're wearing at the 6:05 mark?

[@EveryBodyTri]

Yes it is! Love them!

[@lydsrod4933]

Which 70.3?! Great job.

[@EveryBodyTri]

Oceanside!

[@lydsrod4933]

@@EveryBodyTri awesome! Good luck to you! Looking forward to watching you race.

[@kathleenbolanos]

My goodness i wanna do an ironman SO bad but that sign up fee is WILLLDDDDD 😢

[@EveryBodyTri]

Totally fair! It is very expensive! Really everything about the sport is expensive unfortunately.

[@kathleenbolanos]

@@EveryBodyTri so true. I think it's a bit elitist tbh.. thoblikely unintentionally. I'm thinking of doing a self supported IM using a pool, my normal bike, and the local trails for a run. And then buy like a 10$ hat off their website as my "medal" 🤣

[@EveryBodyTri]

@@kathleenbolanos hahah that's not a bad idea! I know for the half ironman a lot of places have local races that are the same distance but not IM branded and are way less expensive. There's one near me in Boulder, CO. Might be another good thing to look into!

[@kathleenbolanos]

@@EveryBodyTri Oo I live near the springs!! Haaha cool that we're both in CO!

[@EveryBodyTri]

@@kathleenbolanos oh nice! Yeah so it’s the harvest moon tri in boulder. They might have rebranded for this year but it’s the half Ironman distances and basically the same route as 70.3 boulder but a fraction of the price!

[@campnewheights]

This is awesome! Let us know if you want any tips for completing your first. Also, if you need any motivation check out our staff members journey to his first 70.3: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZqliJaqj5VoZ9k
