Hitting the Wall vs Bonking & So Much More

Anyway, we get some questions out there.

Other than

that, how's your...

Yeah, we've got some questions, but I want to know how your training is going on.

Yeah, my training

is kind of...

As I get closer to my races, Dhanush, this happens to me all the time.

This year, I've had a really good year.

I've done lots of training.

I've done lots of volume.

And the reason why I want to do what I did is because I want to get myself in really good shape to really go at it next year.

I'm going to do some big workouts next year.

And I just knew that if I did that this year, because I didn't have the good, solid foundation, I wouldn't be able to absorb the training and the risk of injury.

Last year when I trained for the marathon, I kept getting like a hamstring cramp, like a one out of 10 when I was running.

And I just thought there was a couple of little issues.

And I just knew if I did another year of chasing it, I would have just been kind of on that red line the whole time.

So I've done lots of strength and conditioning this year.

I've done lots of cycling, lots of running.

And one of the reasons why I signed up to the half Ironman 70.3 was just to get myself fit.

And I am really fit.

What happens is when you get close to it now, I start thinking, oh, I should have done more swimming.

I should have done more bike.

I should have prepared for this more.

Or the other way, I should have prepared less for this and I really should have went for the marathon because I am doing the marathon.

It's only a week turnaround between the two races.
