In this pivotal episode of the "Road to Ironman 70.3" series, I delve into the crucial realm of bike optimization as I fine-tune my journey towards the ultimate triathlon challenge. With just six months until race day, every pedal stroke counts, and I'm leaving no stone unturned in my quest for peak performance.
Join me as I embark on a transformative experience: the professional bike fit. As an overweight beginner turned aspiring Ironman, I understand the significance of finding the perfect bike position to maximize efficiency and minimize fatigue during the grueling 70.3-mile endeavor.
With the guidance of expert technicians and cutting-edge technology, I immerse myself in the intricate process of biomechanical analysis, seeking the optimal alignment that will propel me towards my Ironman dreams. From saddle height adjustments to pedal stroke optimization, every aspect is meticulously scrutinized to ensure that my bike becomes an extension of my body, harmonizing power and comfort in perfect balance.
But this episode isn't just about adjustments and measurements; it's also about the heart-pounding thrill of training. Join me as I hit the road, putting my newfound bike fit to the test in exhilarating triathlon-specific workouts. From interval sprints to endurance rides, each session brings me one step closer to Ironman readiness, building strength, stamina, and confidence with every revolution of the pedals.
Throughout this episode, the words "Ironman," "triathlon," and "bike fit" echo with significance, embodying the essence of my journey from overweight novice to Ironman 70.3 contender. So strap in and pedal alongside me as I unlock the potential of my bike fit breakthrough, propelling me ever closer to the triumphant finish line of the Ironman 70.3.

    Såg bra ut, men svårt att avgöra med redigeringen 😁simma lite bredare när du sätter i handen i vattnet, glid lite till så att andra armen hinner komma tillbaka mer och vrid ned underarmen mer när du ska fånga vattnet (tänk hela underarmen som en paddel). När du påbörjar tidigt släpper du ned armbågen och förlorar kraft som annars tar dig framåt. Så tänk på underarmen, att inte släppa med armbågen och att du sedan kan bli lite explosiv i fasen du trycker bakåt med hand och underarm. Så det blir lite som att man får den explosiva fasen där och att man får vila under de andra. 💪 Simma på 💪

    • @marcusmartensson
      @marcusmartensson Před měsícem

      Tack för bra inputs Anders! Jag är från gamla gardet där man fick inpräntat att köra S-drag så det sitter rätt hårt i ryggmärken tyvärr. Men jobbar som du säger på att få ett rakare drag med armbågen i rätt vinkel. Men så fort man börjar bli trött tappar jag tekniken och faller tillbaka. Är iaf medveten om det och försöker lägga fokus på det varje simpass 😁 🙌

    Zwift is 100% worth it! Expensive entry, and a monthly subscription, but worth it if you can afford. Game changer. Easy to make excuses when you have to go to the gym. No excuses made when the bike is in your living space.

  • @geoffreyruns
    @geoffreyruns Před 2 měsíci

    Ya SWEDEN! I use Zwift. With the Kickr Core. I love it because it auto adjusts for incline by itself in the virtual world so your workouts are more realistic to an outdoor workout. I do watch shows/movies while using Zwift though. So you don’t need it for the entertainment piece but good for training intervals

  • @brianlee5402
    @brianlee5402 Před 2 měsíci

    Zwift is definitely worth it. If you get the Zwift Hub trainer I believe you also get a 1 year membership with it so it’s pretty nice. One thing I will say is a nice to have (but not necessary) is to get a rocker plate or tennis ball attachments so that you can be a little bit more comfortable for longer. Hope this helps!
