I have a printout taped above my monitor which lists the exact splits for a 9:28 Ironman. As long as everything goes as planned, I will make this happen by the end of the year.
I know this to be true and I keep it taped above my monitor as a constant reminder.

A Week of Junk
I work with a small group of Ironman athletes. Of those athletes, some are in for the long haul while others are working towards a specific race.
In that latter group, I have a departing athlete which means I have a vacancy to fill.
The Kona Diet
People are in the full swing of training by now and goals are beginning to form. One popular goal is qualifying for Kona and lately I've been following a few threads about "what it takes" to qualify.
I'm currently working with an athlete who has her sights set on Kona and I thought I'd share her current training load.
What's My Potential ?
Athletes often wonder how fast they can complete an Ironman run based on their open marathon time. I've heard people say you can take your open marathon time and add 20 minutes.
Using this logic, if my marathon time was four hours, adding 20 minutes would be equal to running 8.3% slower. But if my marathon time was three hours, adding 20 minutes would be equal to running 11% slower which means that adding 20 minutes isn't all that accurate.
