Now, being 43, I needed a change. I was reasonably strong and big, now I want to be strong and superfit. So I decided to train for Ironman. I am a stubborn prick and need to do things competitively so it was the obvious choice for me.
And I think I might offer the wide audience out there a unique perspective on Ironman training. If you compare training info from the 80's and 90's with current training methodologies for Ironman, you will notice one big difference. Strength training. Triathletes nowadays are more muscular and way stronger. Why? Because stronger muscles mean better muscle performance, higher muscle fiber recruitment, bigger power output, stronger joints and ligaments.
Join me in my journey where I combine strength&power with Ironman endurance training to create a perfect 40+ yrs old althlete.
If you are a competitive triathlete, well, this blog may not be for you. If you are an amateur sport junky who would like to prep for an Ironman AND be strong at the same time, welcome.
I will detail my journey, put in lots of info on training, powerlifting, nutrition and how to juggle everything together with family life and business/work responsibilities.
Let's go! :-)
