I did Ironmans for a decade, … I’m in my 50’s .. I loved the sport … became demanding on my time , work and relationships . As well , the cost of a coach , clubs fees , traveling, race admissions… became to much especially on my body .. I don’t regret my experiences or the friendships I made.. but … I love my life without the excessive training and the hyper focus on times and thinking about my next training session.

I just started training for my first Half-Iron man (my goal is to be ready by summer of 2025, I am going on 50, so it takes longer for me to train, recovery time that is). I have spent the past month pouring over videos for advice and inspiration in regard to the training. Thank you. Also, the face you made at 05:21 and the statement about food is no joke. I did not realize that swimming past 2000m (working my way to 3500m) would make me that hungry, I mean ravenous! Thanks again. Much love, health and happiness to you on your journey to creating the best possible version of yourself...

Im just getting into triathlon and dream to do a ironman one day, this is so inspiring and fun to watch! thanks for sharing 👍

I am glad to see one who have everything I dream of. Good luck!

I like your whole vibe dude. I'll root for you. Best wishes Ben.

Ben, that was a very cool video (especially at the end 🥶). All the time I thought "One day I will also do an ironman, just for fun". But when I was preparing for my Alcatraz swim I realized for the first time, that getting in shape for an Ironman is a full-time job. Since then I have the highest respect for the dedication people like you have for their sports. Keep up posting this videos, you got a new subscriber here.

Hello Ben, congratulations for the video, it is very well done and has a very good production, you know, 3 months ago I decided to train for my second ironman and sometimes as a motivation and there is a way to see the routine with a touch of black humor, he ended up telling me that The one who wants to does more than the one who can. I currently work as a cook 10 hours a day in the hot area of ​​a restaurant, I don't have a car so my days of long rides I ride my bike on the bus and without complaining, and to go to the pool the bus always comes on time at 5 14 a.m. as the motto says everything is possible. The Ironman tulsa appointment next May. Greetings.

A cold tub is what will kill Joe Rogan eventually, I am convinced. Vasospasm apocalypse with a heart attack after a heavy work out and hot sauna. If cancer from all the supplements and exogenous hormones dont take him out first.

I go swimming right after a workout in the evening. it relaxes muscles and soreness.

The chest freezer is quite possibly the cleverest idea I've ever seen. I don't know if my wife will let me copy it but holy cow, do I want to!

Great video!👌

Great video, but are you aware of the research showing that regular ice baths inhibit some of the training/recovery benefits during the adaptation phase and may also mask early signs of injury if used too often? May want to research and determine when to best utilize cold/ice plunge.

Very nice video. I liked your rotine. The only problem with this video is the imperial system. No one outside the states understand the measurements.

I found it weird that there was no mention of going to work at some point. This lifestyle looks expensive, but I can't imagine spending so much time training if I had a full time job. Do you live like this all year round?

@@damienroy5846 It's definitely possible to work full time and train for Ironman...you just have to be disciplined. I get up early, 5AMish and get a work out in. I do my long workouts on the weekend; long ride Saturday morning, and long run Sunday. Ultimately, I train from 10-12 hours average a week all while working a full time job (45-50 hours a week). Despite all the training, I still have quality time with my family and manage to find time to read a book or play a video game.

What’s your caloric intake per day during your highest volume phase of training? How many meals? Are you receiving massage and/or chiropractic treatments regularly too? Nice elevation sleeping tent. Sponsor hook you up with that or own it?

Omg your amazing! I do the ice baths everyday , I loved the idea of a freezer how do you do it ? Is it plugged? Is it dangerous???😮

Cool video : ) Thanks from Stockholm, Swe. Hehe! How long is your total workout this day? You start early, and all done by... 3PM? Ish? Thanks again Maximilian, ultraman athlete : D

What did you take for breakfast? Or just coffee? I recently moved to Spain, I am originally from Argentina. Still try to get up in the morning around 5 30 am, but I am finding it really difficult. Your video is awesome

Great life style daily training …one thing surprised me about the freezing water in the freezer …maybe need more safeties informations how it works in case of electrocution I don't think I'd immerse myself in a freezer full of water and plug into the mains ...I think that with training and the potential danger of electricity I can easily make a return trip to the sun.

Keep going! New suscriber, grettings from argentina! 🙌🏼🇦🇷🫡

U r lucky to have in us pools which works at early mornings...probably 24*7.... its a problem to find a big pool in west europe at all. I not even mention working hrs, which are short, especially on week ends its half day only

was I the only one to notice him crawling out of a tent on his bed? Great video!

most recomended to do the same streching both in the start and the end of each practice

Good video ! 👍

get used to the cold water. it takes about 7 days for body to adapt weather/environment

great video

love it

So many privileged kids would be sitting on the couch. Kudos to you and keep working hard!!💪

Good video. But a little more details on what your doing would be nice. I.e. on the bike - what type of distance, pace, alt change, etc. where does this ride fit into the overall picture. Just more situational awareness for the viewer

What’s the thing you sleep in. Special Hightech recovery tent?

@jamieneiderhauser8386

7 ай бұрын

I think it's an altitude tent. They allow you to sleep at high altitudes at home. The best understanding I found was this "Sleeping at Altitude, or “Living High, Training Low” is the most widely used technique for pre-acclimatization and improving endurance sports performance. Combined with our low-oxygen air generator, our altitude canopy enables individuals to sleep at simulated altitude at home or on the road. This training technique has now been used within elite sport for over a decade, and is widely considered to be the most effective method to pre-acclimatize to altitude."

Nice video but it seems i am the only one wondering what kind of bed is that ?! :D

Why you sleep sleep in the tent in the room 0.39 s in the video.... what do you achieve with that?

14 күн бұрын

I followed a very helpful tutorial but I have been looking for the website for a few days and still cant find it, sorry. Essentially though it is an ice chest from Home Depot, it has an ozone generator which comes on for a few hours every day to keep it clean, it has a temperature controller which turns on and off the ice chest to keep the water at the right temperature but means the ice chest does not have to be on 24/7, and then it has a fish tank filter inside to again help with the water circulation and cleanliness of the water. I'd be happy to give you more information if you're interested but once it's up and running the only thing I have to do is change the water out two or three times a year which is really simple to do and in my opinion it is well worth it. Hope that helps!
