Sure, but my point was really to suggest I’m just a regular guy who did an Ironman very slowly. There are physiological freaks at Ironman events, but I was certainly not one of them. Regular people with a plan and appropriate training can do it.



How much running training did you do and if you don't mind sharing what was your marathon time?


When I started I was able to run a 5k and that was about it. I trained for 21 or 22 weeks.

I think my marathon was a 5:30 or something like that. Lots of walking, but I never stopped moving.


Respect for achieving that in 21 weeks.
