    I literally can’t think of a better video on how us age groupers should prepare for an Ironman. I’m not just saying that because you used MOTTIV, I’m saying it because it’s so detailed, practical, and realistic for people to apply their real lives. So happy for you and honoured to be a small part of your hard work!!!

      Hey @TriathlonTaren, Patrick is showing a screenshot of something like a CTL/TSB graph (maybe in an other video). Where can I find this in the MOTTIV app?

    Creating an even more complete video that went even deeper than last year's was a difficult task…but I would say that the goal was completely achieved…no more need to say that this is the best possible resource for anyone who wants to try an Ironman or an endurance sport in general.

    thank you for this! im about 2 months out from my first full distance after getting into the sport about a year ago. im shooting for about the 12 hour mark + or - about an hour. i have such a large window since its my first and i dont totally know what to expect. i love and hate that this video is making me think that i may be capable of shooting for sub 10 myself in the next 2 or 3 races. i wasnt sure if this would be a once and done type thing or would become my whole life journey. its so motivating and so exciting but so daunting. thanks for the inspiration!

    • @PatrickDelorenzi

      This is an infinite game! Both Ironman and ultra
      In my opinion first Ironman is no time goal, hey you might even break 9 hours who knows. There is so much to learn I. The first one that, even if you do break 10, you will want to do another one to see how much further you can push yourself 😃

    If you have a history of sprained ankles, it's likely that there's some build-up of scar tissue that will make them more likely to occur in perpetuity. I'm not sure if there are a lot of shockwave therapy providers in Italy, but if you can find one and have them clean up your ankle, you'll really decrease the risk of re-injury.

    Thank you for sharing your journey on a sub 10, motivates me to go for it myself... One thing I would suggest for the bike is to look into a disc wheel setup which will add a 1-2 kph overall speed boost for the same power and that could save you a lot of minutes on your next effort 😀... All the best!

    I fully agree with your European winter assessment. I think you can get most of the (baring open water swimming) training in with equal quality, but it is sometimes super hard to be motivated to get out there when it is cold and you know of all the laundry you need to do afterwards as well.

Thanks again for the video, I've been able to pick up a lot of tips, and more than anything it's an inspiration for me to not give up (I was about to) and try again next year and put my all into it.

    • @PatrickDelorenzi
      @PatrickDelorenzi  Рік тому

      Thank you Dan! Go for it bro, you never know how race day will be or how strong your body and mind actually are. One of the biggest things I learned this year in the actual event is to be pragmatic but not hold back, racing with more courage and taking some risks might yield some unexpected breakthroughs and results. More importantly than that, I agree with you this is an infinite game, and there is always a next event to target 🎯 Don’t give up because imho if you like Ironmans and the mental / physical development that comes with it, this is a worthy goal to pursue 🙏🔥

    What would you say is required monitarily to train for an iron man? I feel like I'm too broke to do so, with the buying a bike and swimming subscription. Running is basicly free except the shoes

    • @PatrickDelorenzi
      @PatrickDelorenzi  2 місяці тому

      You can do it with 2000 (700€ race entry, 700€ entry level bike, the rest for wetsuit, goggles, running shoes etc)
      5k would probably be the appropriate budget if you want a used tri bike and a bit better quality stuff
      In my opinion it is money well spent because it’s an investment in becoming the most endurance fit version of yourself possible. Training for and doing an Ironman transforms your life

    Nicely done. Have you ever wondered if your shoe choice of more cushion is a reason you had the ankle injury? The idea of protecting the joints is not necessary if your muscles and tendons are progressively stressed by using less cushioned shoes and focusing on feeling the stability of your foot plant rather than dulling it with cushioned shoes.

    Hamburg will be my first Ironman because in addition to liking the course, many people preferred it to Cervia for:
    1. Presence of a partying public
    2. More “simple” swimming path
    3. Better training performed in winter/spring rather in June/August for Cervia
    4. The coolest medal 🤣
    What do you say to me Patrick?

    • @PatrickDelorenzi
      @PatrickDelorenzi  3 місяці тому +1

      Hi! Hamburg is flatter and the atmosphere on the run is fucking epic
      Cervia I have only done the 70.3, the swim conditions can be a bit more of an unknown as it is in the sea, bike has one sharp steep hill in the middle, run is also very good 👍
      As far as moment of the season, Hamburg can be very tough to train for as it’s winter in Europe while you are preparing so no outside rides etc, whereas Cervia is so much easier to prep for since all the build is done when it’s warm and nice to run/ride outside
      Hamburg is my choice for the prestige of the event, competition, and overall atmosphere which really felt like a huge event (like a marathon major) with the whole city coming out to cheer

      @@PatrickDelorenzi Wow the
      Words I wanted to hear! For the weather it’s not a problem..I live between Puglia and Greece in the spring so it’s a pleasure to train and swim in the sea with 19 degrees of water.. paradoxically it’s worse for me to train in July in summer with 40 degrees..so it would be harder to prepare Cervia.
      I was talking about memories and feelings.. Cervia seems to me “harder” to finish if you find a hot day

    Fantastic video as usual Patrick! - one question on your brick sessions - did you use full IM hydration and nutrition volumes on your bike? Ever had any issues with stomach cramps at the start of the brick run? At IM Hamburg I had massive stomach cramp from the start to the end of the marathon which changed my run strategy a lot. Thanks for taking the time and effort to make these videos.

    Great video. You created this using your full energy and heart and it shows.
    Question > Can someone help me to understand how does one do a long day (4hr+ bike ride) on a home trainer. It must be pretty daunting to spend 1pm till 6pm on the saddle in a room no?
    I am also preparing for a 70.3 next year and I'm curious how my wahoo kickr will help in long day sessions

      Call it cheating, but sometimes I play games with my girlfriend while on the long rides. Really helps break up the monotony just when you think you are done

    Congratulations Patrick. Massive accomplishment and well deserved. For your swim training , am I correct that you only spent a total of ten hours swimming? Your swim time is top quartile. Are you just a natural swimmer and figured more hours there would only shave minutes?

      Hi! I would classify myself as a bad swimmer, as in started late, and plateaued very quickly to a 1:58-1:50 pace X 100m, and budging from there is very difficult without a lot of effort. The other thing is, even if I stop swimming, when I resume it takes me around 3 sessions to get back to being able to swim 3.8k @ 1:55 pace in the pool, and I was on with that for this goal. Improving my swim would have taken me a lot of time and effort in the pool, which was all time (including the commute, getting changed etc) that was going to be taken away from biking, running, strenght but especially recovery, so I swam as little as possible. I would say that if I trained 3x the amount I could get my pace down to a 1:44x100m for 3.8k, which would result in an improvement of 6 minutes or something like that. A disc wheel on the right course can give you that. I swam terribly in Hamburg, way worse than tallinn, for reasons I will explain in the event recap that where totally unrelated to training etc. For nice though I need to get my swim up to par. “The swim is the mandatory warm up for the bike” - we need to be comfortable and proficient in the water, but the meaningful gains imho are on the bike and especially not cracking in the last 14k of the run

      @@PatrickDelorenzi Thank you Patrick. Very helpful. I am at 13 and need to take an hour off. Sounds like. I can get 30 minutes off the bike and run by concentrating my efforts there. It would take me hundreds of hours to take 30 my off my swim

    Amazing Video Patrick and great result, going to be watching this a few times over the couple months for Ironman prep, but I'll be happy with anything less than a 13 hour finish 😅

    Did you use a swim cap with chin strap? If so who makes a good one?

    • @PatrickDelorenzi
      @PatrickDelorenzi  Рік тому +1

      Hi! Yes if the water temp is under 20 degrees I use a neoprene swim cap so as not to freeze my head 😃 🥶 The model I have is by Head, but I don’t recommend it because it doesn’t have an adjustable strap. Look for any model that has an adjustable strap and I think you will be golden!

    Really enjoyed this Patrick. Whilst on my indoor trainer yesterday 😅 I like your mental approach and value for the supporting habits as well as obsessing over detail. You didn’t talk about running power? Anyway my goal this year is going sub-5 for my next 70.3 and first Ironman next year - might just have to try for sub-10 😉

    • @PatrickDelorenzi

      Hey Owen! Thank you for the comment and sorry for the late reply - I started using running power more consistently for Nice, I will talk about it in the next video 🙌 Have a great day
