Emily SMASHED Ironman Leeds!!
-
What a performance Online Coached Client Emily
Emily came back to Leeds with the aim on beating her times from last year and she DESTROYED them!!
-
Emily is one of the most consistent, dedicated and driven clients i’ve had the pleasure of coaching! Always wanting more, pushing herself and her boundaries. Prep was brilliant, she picked up an annoying knee ni**le 6 weeks out but she had banked LOADS of quality training, new PBs at Half and Full Marathon so I knew she had the fitness.
-
Her swimming has come on even more than last year and her training splits have just got faster and faster and her aim of a sub 1:15 swim would of happened should the swim had not been cancelled.
-
The day before the big event the swim got cancelled and that (I know from personal experience) can rock you and your race. A few chats, pep talks, motivational messages and voice notes managed to focus her and get her in the zone.
-
Bike…..EPIC 43 mins faster than last year! I knew this would happen, Emily has put in the hard yards on the push iron, long zwifts, cycling in wind, rain, near freezing temps to cycling amidst the UK heatwaves. She got rewarded with a fantastic 6 hours 43 mins bike split on a tough course.
-
Run… 25 mins faster than last year! 4:16 what a great run split! Nearly 1 min/mile faster pace! If u have ran a marathon/ironman marathon u will know just how hard it is to run 1 min/mile faster pace! Defo more to give here on a fully fit fully complete peak plan.
-
So what’s next……Ironman Wales in 4 Weeks!!! Quick recovery, quick turnaround and GO AGAIN!
-
She doesn’t do things in halves this lady! two super hard and challenging Ironmans 4 weeks apart!
-
I haven’t mentioned she’s a busy working mum to 3 kids, regularly gets up at 4 am to fit sessions in without trying to compromise too much family time.
-
Ironman competing is a team game and she has an amazing team of family, friends and amazing other half who all support her all the way!
