New to Zaadzthletes

Hello.  I've finally found the time to post on Zaadz and came across Zaadzthletes. The group sounds perfect.  I'm into healthy living and ultra-endurance events.  My goal this year is to complete a 100 mile ultramarathon.  Please feel free to give advice if you have done an ultramarathon.  I've completed four Ironman Triathlons and would be happy to help a newbie.

Welcome, Dan!

Great to hear that you're taking on a hundred miler this year! Would love to hear how your training is going.

Also, that is so very impressive/cool that you've completed four Ironmans! Have yet to set the date, but I intend to complete an Ironman. How long before your first one did you begin training?

Anyway, great to see you on here. A happy, healthy thriving 2008 to you and yours!

With love,

Jen

Hi, Jen:

Thanks for the welcome.  I started training for my first Ironman about nine months out from the event.  I recommend “Going Long” by Joe Friel and Gordon Byrn.  Good overview of the training, but short on specifics.  It is truly worth all the hard word and effort when you cross the finish line and hear those magic words”…….You are an Ironman!!!”
