https://martinpluss.wordpress.com/2014/05/10/ironman-report-part-4-run-mindfulness
Ironman Report Part 4: Run – mindfulness. May 10, 2014. Ironman Report Part 4: Run – mindfulness. The first and the second lap felt great with people saying things like go Six Foot Track runner …he will know how to finish which gave me confidence. There was an aid station every km 2km and just varied what I had each time. 21b said to me after the race when he was speaking to me on this lap I was slurring my words. I had finished my Ironman at 10:10 pm in 15:18 minutes 1:40 hours ahead of the cut off with...

Centennial Park Ultra 50 km | Plu Rambles
https://martinpluss.wordpress.com/2014/08/04/centennial-park-ultra-50-km
Centennial Park Ultra 50 km. August 4, 2014. Centennial Park Ultra 50 km Race Report. Just a thought how about a 50 mile race – I might be able to fit that in the cut off. In the second half of the race I decided to do my 12 minutes running and 3 minutes walking for the rest of the race. I thought if I got myself into mental routine the second half of the race would go faster than the first half which I felt was dragging on and on. A tragic week with cause to reflect during exercise.

Ironman Race Report Part 1 – Preparation. May 7, 2014. Completely humbled by the overwhelming support but let me back track. The next 9 years had my involvement in Cool Running Australia, the running of several marathons, Six Foot Track, Poor Man’s Comrades (Gosford to Opera House) and Narrabeen 12 Hour race trail races. I was confident now I could actually finish an Ironman if I decided to commit. The plan for February – May was simple – train to complete not compete. All the literature said a beginner ...

Ironman Race Report Part 3 – relaxation. May 8, 2014. Ironman Report Part 3 – relaxation. The Ironman is an event with three stages relaxation, concentration and mindfulness – all happen to be linked to a swim, cycle and run. When I am not focusing on times I have always found the swim relaxing though at times you need to be careful not to be kicked by someone and be wary of swimmers who seem to be swimming at an angle and pushing yourself off course or towards the bank. It is also the stage of the r...
