Couch Potato To Ironman: March 2011
http://couchpotatotoironman.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Couch Potato To Ironman. Documenting the journey from sofa to endurance sport. Wednesday, 2 March 2011. Woah its march already? Training has picked up a bit over the last month. Actually, having just checked back when I last blogged. things have really picked up a lot. On both occasions my wrist ached like hell, and was sore for a few day after. but I'll just have to get used to that. What the hell, its another reason to argue that I need a full carbon bike, right?

Couch Potato To Ironman. Documenting the journey from sofa to endurance sport. Monday, 22 August 2011. Groomsport 2011 Half Iron. Yesterday I completed my second half-iron distance race of this season. I had done this race last year. This race was the first of a double A-race session, the second of which is another 70.3 in Galway in two weeks. So I had to pace this right. I couldn’t just go out and wreck myself and not be able to race again in two weeks. T1 was fine, a few seconds slower than last year, ...

Couch Potato To Ironman. Documenting the journey from sofa to endurance sport. Saturday, 29 January 2011. Haven't considered swimming yet. Got a new tattoo a week a go so need to let that settle in for a few weeks before I can swim. I cant imagine how weird swimming is going to be. I'm hoping it will be OK though. Again, fingers crossed! Thursday, 27 January 2011. I'm currently sitting on a train to Dublin, and this seems to be as good a time as any to write a quick blog update. Why do I enjoy it so much?

Couch Potato To Ironman: To err is human, to really screw up you need to be a runner.

Couch Potato To Ironman. Documenting the journey from sofa to endurance sport. Friday, 23 March 2012. To err is human, to really screw up you need to be a runner. The most common mistake beginner runners make is to do too much, too soon. Its almost inevitable. Seriously. don't beat yourself up up over it. Then after a while, running feels good. Seriously. you can run. you've gone from couch to 5k, or from nothing to 30 minutes. or whatever it is and suddenly YOU FEEL GOOD. Do this 100 times. Anyway. ...

Couch Potato To Ironman. Documenting the journey from sofa to endurance sport. Thursday, 31 May 2012. The death of a blog. A while ago I wrote a blog post about how I had decided to move my blog. Stupidly, I appear to have posted this on the new blog. but not the old one. The blog post is HERE. And the new blog site is http:/ austinslide.wordpress.com. Not cancelled. just on hold. There are personal reasons for this, if you wish to know what they are. keep reading! So, basically I don't have the time to ...

Couch Potato To Ironman. Documenting the journey from sofa to endurance sport. Sunday, 15 January 2012. 13 and Finish strong. Just finished the last of my 13 days of training in a row to kick off the new year. On Friday, the thirteenth, I got the tattoo pictured above. Its nothing too deep or significant, more a bit of fun than anything else to be honest. Kinda fun to have got it done in the middle of this 13 day session.

Couch Potato To Ironman. Documenting the journey from sofa to endurance sport. Thursday, 22 March 2012. That ever illusive motivation. Motivation is something I often struggle with. I know a lot of people may be surprised by this, but let me put this into perspective. When It comes to training and racing. I'm a "mid-packer". Basically, I run in the middle of the pack. I'm never going to win, but I will never come in last (I hope). Of those that train harder. do they have more time? I post on here mostly ...

Couch Potato To Ironman: December 2010

Couch Potato To Ironman. Documenting the journey from sofa to endurance sport. Thursday, 9 December 2010. Life is full of challenges. I think this may be the longest I've gone without blogging. and I'm terrible at it at the best of times. The last few months have been incredibly busy, but not so much with training. I had my off-season, then just as i was starting to get back into training, I had a spot of bad luck. The surgery happened, I got a plate put in my arm and spent the night in hospital. Its now...

Couch Potato To Ironman. Documenting the journey from sofa to endurance sport. Monday, 23 August 2010. I'm going to actually try and make this a concise and short race report. Yesterday I did my main "A race" for the year. This was essentially what I had been training for all year. Beyond that it was the next link in the chain that ultimately leads to doing a full Ironman. Suffice to say this was pretty important! And her family as they had come down to give some support. My last open water swim was ROUGH.
