Going longer - significantly longer - than you've gone before is a big enough challenge, so combining it with a new time goal can be a recipe for a hard bonk. I know you're a solid cyclist, and it means a lot to me to see you have a good century, that's all.<BR/><BR/>By the way, beating the darkness is a goal of many ironman racers. Few actually accomplish this - most amateurs finish in the darkness.Freyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14340793431986623538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8982452206634436626.post-32708956031207658122008-08-09T17:18:00.000-04:002008-08-09T17:18:00.000-04:00i have to get faster Frey or when i do my Century,...i have to get faster Frey or when i do my Century, it will be DARK before i get back, as is it will take over 8 hrs!!<BR/><BR/>libsLibby Maximhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06058448010971518116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8982452206634436626.post-80415561951196322008-08-09T13:14:00.000-04:002008-08-09T13:14:00.000-04:00Hey Libs - glad the rides are going well.

I mean, I ran the 5k in 22:30, which comes in just under 9mph, which is what you used to cyclce. So, I went pretty fast, right? No. The people who win local 5k's do them in around 17:00. I guess they're fast though, right? No, because the world record 5K is around 14:00. And, 14:00 for running 5000m works out to about 14mph, and we're back to your cycling pace.Freyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14340793431986623538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8982452206634436626.post-86520616321531114432008-08-09T12:46:00.000-04:002008-08-09T12:46:00.000-04:00thanks to Frey and his training schedule for me th...thanks to Frey and his training schedule for me this summer, had my personal best in a 50 mile ride in PA, lots of hills, came in just under 13 mph and for me that is a huge gain, started the season at 9.0<BR/><BR/>followed all Frey's training advice<BR/><BR/>looking to hit 14 by end of October when i am doing a 100 mile ride in MD<BR/><BR/>LibsLibby Maximhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06058448010971518116noreply@blogger.com
