BACKPACKING IN DANIEL BOONE NATIONAL FOREST
So one question you said your plan was to hike the first 4 of the run. If that what you did? I know you ran the second loop.
@@toddcoleman1728 Yes, in 2022, coming off the bike, I power hiked the first mile or so up the big hill. Then lightly jogged the flats. I power hiked every hill that first loop. This helped preserve my energy and helped me recover from the bike. I think I finished the marathon in around 4:45 with that strategy.
Good deal, thanks man
@@briantrippe what were some of your longest rides/runs/bricks in your training? You mentioned you over trained to just finish the race and was curious what that looked like.
@@tnewk12 just went back into my Strava to look. I was averaging a little over 10 hours a week. Bike 2-3 times per week with one long ride of at least 60 miles. Run 4-5 One long run per week of at least 13. Swim 3 days a week. I think I maxed out at around 2500 meters in one of my final sessions. Plus I was doing my normal morning workout with F3 most mornings, which is a 45 minute HIIT.
Can you set up camp up there?
Nope
How can one reach out for his coaching services?
I think there's a contact button on his website: karlmeltzer.com
This was great! Tons of insights in 8 minutes!
Really good advice here
Thanks brotha! Great video!
Clicked off when you asked who Alex was
lol that's fair
Karl is simple AF I love him & his attitude
Great listening to Karl. I think his sponsors are great to keep sponsoring him to show the world that you can continue to do what you want while you age. Only sponsoring the current elite shows that you don't value anything else.
Karl is the best. Thanks for watching!
Great pod with David. Tis almost "the season" here in JH. Nice breath of fresh air with this content!!
This was a fun one. David was so cool to speak with. Glad you enjoyed it!
@@briantrippe starting a new book project and we were talking about David the exact day you posted this. Keep up the great content and hope you make it to JH one of these days.
@@BornToRunCoach Thanks! Possibly first week in July. Gotta do the picnic!
Nice interview!
Thanks! It was fun.
Loved the dialogue between you and Karl! Great insight here from one of the best. Having completed the Wasatch 100 for the first time in 2023, I learned some great tips here to keep moving and shave some time off. Thanks again for sharing!!!
Thanks for watching!
great points from great experiance
Karl is great!
I just run for fun and therapy and usually no more than 10,but my point is I watch alot of longer races in my hometown in az,and have friends that do the long races,and listening to Karl is so true as I've been on the crew to help and see staying steady and refuel you have to do what is best for you and dont think in the beginning you don't need to refuel cuz you will be toast at 40 mile mark,I've seen it,anyway most people that do these longer runs figure it out pretty quick what not to do
Great insight!
Very helpful man! Doing ironman Chattanooga this September. Glad to know about the over training status as well as how to use energy on each discipline. looking forward to it.
Hey congrats on another finish! great video I am thinking about doing an ironman in 2025 and after your 2 videos I might make chattanooga my first one!
Very informative video. Thank you! Taking on Choo this year
Good luck!
Wow what a view, certainly worth the effort
Trail running is great for our physical and mental health
Did you follow a plan?
Not really. Just tried to train 6 days a week. Listened to my body.
That's a great time, great job! I did Chattanooga yesterday as well. It was my first full, and actually my first triathlon ever. I found your last video quite helpful in preparation. I came in a couple hours later than I thought I would, but the goal was just to finish. Do you use heartrate data in combination with this data you've shown? Would be very curious to know if you're staying in a certain zone or just going by feel?
Congratulations on finishing! What an accomplishment! It's pretty incredible that this was your first tri ever. Wow! I train by heart rate almost exclusively. But have also been doing it for so long that I know about where I'm at by feel. You can go to my strava and see what my HR was. For the bike I stayed in zone 3 most of the time, with the exception of hills where I hit Z4 and long descents where it slowed to Z2. On the run I was in between Z3 and Z4 for a lot of it. But as I slowed due to cramping, my HR came down to low Z3/high Z2.
@@briantrippe Thanks! That's very helpful info!
I was there and did it too!!! I watched your video from the first time leading up to it! My first ever triathlon. I finished 10:41:23 and am so stoked! My legs hurt too! Congrats man!
Wow! What a great time. Congratulations!!
Thanks for the video. This willl be my first IM. I promised myself I would do an IM when I turned 60. So here I am. I am a little nervous about the run. Actually the bike, too. But hopefully I make the cutoff. My training plan has me doing losts of jump squats, lunges. Do you think this is adequate for glute strength? Thank you and good luck this year!
Congratulations! How exciting! I can give you my opinion, but I'm no expert. But yes, it is my understanding that calisthenic exercises such as those that really work the glutes and hamstrings are going to serve you very well. Good luck!
Thanks for this, I'm coming from Dothan Alabama to do the 2023 race, first time full distance at 66 years old. We're 8 weeks away as I post this, getting a little nervous (about the swim mostly), so this video really helps. Good luck this year!
Glad you got some value out of it! If you're worried about the swim, just know that the river will be moving fast. And there will be PLENTY of kayaks around. Grab a hold of one and take a rest. It felt like it took me forever to get out of the water, but I still had over an hour to spare before the swim cutoff. So just relax and do the best you can. Good luck!
Thanks for the overview!
Glad you found value in it!
Great job and congrats! I had very similar time splits and this was my first full as well. Loved the swim, loved the bike, and the 2nd loop on the run was tough but man, what an incredible experience!! Totally agree on importance of glute strength! Have fun in 2023, I’m going south to do IM Florida this year but enjoy Chattanooga!!
Thanks for your input. Good luck in 2023!
That was supposed to be half Ironman in may 2023
First off I would like to say excellent video. I’m doing a half hour man in May 2023. I am for sure not a good swimmer, and all of my anxiety is about to swim. I think about a daily to the point where it’s starting to overcome me. I enjoyed your video. Hopefully we do get some current so that will help me. Thanks again.
You'll do great! And you've got plenty of time to keep training!
The best feeling in triathlon is showing up over trained 💪🏼💪🏼 really nice work and thank you for the corse preview. I’ll be there for my first in 2023.
BAM! Good luck. I'll be back in '23 as well.
Great video man. I’m just started out on my triathlon training and am targeting IM Chattanooga in 2024 so this was really helpful. Much appreciated. Curious to know what your diet was during your training and what your nutrition was during the race.
Hey man, thanks so much for watching and for the feedback. I just want to encourage you that you probably don’t need as much time as you think you do. If you give yourself two years, that’s how long it will take you. If you give yourself one, then that’s how long it will take you. Don’t be afraid to go after it! On the nutrition side, I really just ate whatever I wanted. Just added a lot of protein. Not the best strategy, but nutrition is definitely my biggest challenge. During the race I was completely dialed in! I ate a big carb-loaded meal at about 5 pm the night before. I started drinking 6 oz. of water on the hour every hour from noon until 10 pm the day before. During the race there are so many aid stations. I just took a gel about once an hour about half way through the bike until the end of the race. Drunk lots of water and sports drink. Really didn’t eat anything solid. I had 3 full bananas throughout the bike. I didn’t eat anything at all during the run. Just liquids.
I did not do a half. I did a sprint in April and an Olympic in August as the only two tris I’d ever done. Three and then two weekends before the race I did consecutive Saturday-Sundays of swim/bike Saturday and bike/run Sunday. Did roughly 2,000y swim then 30 miles on the bike Saturday. Then 60 miles on bike followed by 13 mile run Sunday. Did that two consecutive weekends, then tapered for two weeks, cutting my weekly training in half the first week, then half of that the second week. I felt incredibly fresh on race day.
Really liked this breakdown! I'm eyeing Chattanooga for my first Ironman next year. Currently working on my training plan. My goal is to get sub 14h, with a stretch goal of sub 13h. Did you do a half ironman (either sanctioned or just on your own) during prep? What was your hardest training week like? Any other general tips to prep, based on this course, specifically?
That's a steal for this amazing bike. Cheers!
Santosh Subudhi that’s what I thought. Been on it ever since. I really like it!
I ordered it few days ago for 1300 USD. I ll get it tomorrow. Looking forward to riding it.
