And so it’s begun… Ironman Lake Placid 2018 here we come!

ByMarty

On January 1, 2018 my Ironman Training officially began.  Once again I am working with Fit Werx 2 Co-Owner, and Head Coach, Dean Phillips, as I prep for my third Ironman, second Lake Placid.

In 2015 Dean put together an incredible plan that allowed me to live my life relatively normal, while making strong gains.  I’m looking to build on my 2015 Mont Tremblant race and look forward to LP.

This time around we took the fall off by focusing solely on the run which allowed me to shed a bunch of weight and gain invaluable run volume.  Now it’s back on the bike and in the pool, along with the run.

I’ll use this blog to chronicle the Journey and to answer any questions you might have if you’re training or considering an IM in the future.   See you on the road. -Marty Miserandino

Virtual Riding on an Indoor Smart Bike

ByIan

I am admittedly late to the virtual riding/training experience.  This being said, I’ve used CompuTrainer products (the original “smart” trainer) at work for decades and I’ve worked with different smart trainers from TACX, Wahoo and Saris/Cycleops through the years.   However, until last winter, I did not ride a smart trainer consistently and had not experienced…
