After talking to a couple of people who have done Ironman's and watching a few Ironman motivational vid's I've decided to give it a go, with a 2022 date in mind.

Any Ironman competitors on here; is my life for the next 3 years pretty much going to be training for it

I used to live in Tenby and watched them compete. Looks tough mind!

I have a few friends who are Iroman athletes. You are right, you're life 'should' be about training for it. They're brutally tough, and without a structured training program, will be doomed to failure.

I've been offered help with training programs, and decided on aiming to do one in 3 years to give me time to build up to it. The swim and the bike, I'm not too worried about as I'm able to do the distances on both, it's the marathon after both that's the big leap for me

I've heard that from them as well. The run is the killer. Crawl the last few miles if necessary.

One of the guys I was talking to, said that on his first event he had a little cry on the bike and during the run (and he is super fit). He said the last 6 mile of the run were hell, but he somehow managed to sprint the last 400 meters as the crowds got him going.

It's going to be hard training, but I just want to do one and say I've done one
