Morrison can be a bit of a wing nut but for me he's bang on the money with talent selectors as opposed to talent identifiers issue that can miss the point with development squads;

Excellent and thanks for posting it JC. Like so many things the quick hack doesn't bring the long term results - "Run slower to get faster etc etc".  Nothing like the present to take stock at club and county/competition levels

Hi,

Some great inspiration on here - from and for all those ex-footballers like me now pounding the roads.

Any advice on preparing for and handling travel/jet-lag prior to an event?  I'm (probably stupidly but too good a chance to not give it a rattle) entered for the Melbourne marathon in October (over for a family wedding at the end of the month) and training is going smoothly from a long way out at the minute. When I fully lock on to the marathon uplift from June onwards, and avoiding injury in the interim, I know I will have a different challenge as the race approaches i.e. 24+hrs travel to Aus, arriving on the day before the marathon, temperature uplift following an October taper in Ireland and my head possibly not knowing what time of day it is when I toe the start line.  Anyone successfully done an equiv to this and if so how did you handle the prep for temp diffs, the travel itself (staying loose but rested (knock out medication etc) in order to actually enjoy the marathon itself and maximising a great way to see some of the city early on?

Guys,

Complete novice here doing a fair bit of biking and running tho (separately) and interested in taking the step into this. Swim needs a lot of work to get even near the others but will be working at that.

General question tho - where do you get a good events calendar of triathlons (sprint and upwards)? country wide? - home base is Co. Down. Ironman at the end of the big plan but that's a while off and would want to go global scenic for that one

Thanks

http://www.triathlonireland.com/ would be the place to start. season nearly over but there is a pool based swim Tri in Newtownabbey at the end of the month, very good for starting out, then you can judge what needs worked on after that. The complete novice swimmer would need to do 30 lengths in under 30 mins. So get to the pool and see where you are at

Thanks MR2 - will look that one up and plan out targets for next year. Swim technique is gonna be the major weakness now and needing the most work but I def want to give this a go.
