Alright.
Here we come cardio.
Oh yeah,
fuck. We got cardio. Forgot
about that.
Yeah, remember cardio?
Thought I was driving home for
breakfast. Fuck.
Alright. Come on. Let's see how
far I can pedal on that watt bike.
I wanna fucking pedal to bed.
I'm Kris Gethin.
I'm going to be training to
prepare for an Ironman.
Most people give themselves two
years.
I'm giving myself six months,
and we're going to do it.
Legs are absolutely destroyed
now, so what's the best thing
to do?
Running.
Straight after the workout had
the Re-Kaged, then
had a shower.
We're on our way to Tri Town
now, where Anton is going to then
fit Sunshine to her bike. And I'm
going to have a bike fitted as
well. I've already had one a
couple of months ago, but maybe
it's time to have another now,
just as my style has changed.
I'd had a bike fit here with
Anton before,
but I thought it'd be good to
get an update on that fit.
Do you think this looks pretty
good with what I've
been working with so far.
Yeah, absolutely.
I mean overall really,
really good
Kris. You mentioned actually
your knees coming out a little
bit.
One, it's a lot better than it
used to be.
So I think you've been really
good about just staying on top
of that. You know what I'll do.
Kris, I'll throw some little
trackers on your knees and we
can actually see how much
you're actually going to the
outside here.
And right through you knee. There you go.
OK Kris, go ahead and pedal away,
man. Just normal,
normal as can be.
So what's happening here
is as your leg presses down
through the pedal stroke your
knee is falling into alignment,
dead center over the foot
itself.
But as you come up, as you,
as you know, and as you told
me, your knee kind of flares to
the outside.
Ideally, what we do is we try
to align your foot
under the knee at the top of
the pedal stroke.
So it should be a little bit
more like that.
In a perfect world,
you're getting a little closer
there. Yeah.
Alright, let's have you step
off the bike.
So we're going to widen the
stance by adding some spacers
in here. And we may even adjust
the cleats,
which are really worn out, we
should probably replace these, too. We're
going adjust the cleats to
maybe allow your foot more to
the outside of the pedal,
as well.
So these are things to think
about because a lot of people
just think yeah, the handlebars
are right, the seat feels
okay, let's go.
But you think about the amount
of time that you spend on the
bike, and that consistent
pressure and cadence
over time, that can cause
problems with the knees.
And then next thing you know,
you're going in for your leg
workout in the gym and you're
having problems,
you don't know why.
Well, that's why it's worth
getting your bike set up
specifically for you.
Not from the people that you
purchased it from,
at the shop,
or whether it be from
Craigslist,
or whatever it may be.
So make sure that you get it
fit up by the right people.
So, you know,
you don't have any problems
or any possible injuries or
uncomfortability down the
road.
Tired this morning,
didn't have much sleep. Which
is, ain't so bad because today
is more of an accessory day for
our legs, as opposed to a lot
of heavy, intense
compound movements
for legs.
We're working on accessory.
So accessories meaning,
accessories meaning,
movements that's going to help
prevent injury.
And working with the tracking
and stability of our knees.
This exercise is a lot more
difficult than I expected.
Obviously I'm using a very
light weight,
but
a lot of people are going to
hate me for doing this
exercise,
thinking that I've sold out.
But I'm not doing it
specifically for power,
strength, explosiveness.
But the more that I've been
working with the stability,
I tell you what,
my knees feel so much
more aligned,
more tracked.
I'm not having knee issues,
I'm not having leg issues.
This is definitely a movement
that has its place,
especially on an accessory day
like this.
Fuck.
Ow.
First 400 meters is done.
Rest now,
for like, 120 seconds I think it is.
I think I need more.
And then go again
for 400 meters.
Then punch it up
for about nine out of 10.
That was definitely a
nine out of 10 towards
the end.
Day 45.
Today we're beginning with
back, before going on to
biceps.
Now what we're doing here is a
landmine deadlift,
combined with, like,
a half a burpee.
So, working the lower back and
then disengaging at the bottom,
and then using the thighs to
come back up. Because every
time that we're running,
we're engaging, we're
disengaging. Engaging,
disengaging. Same when we're
actually cycling.
I was doing a close-grip chin,
and then as I get to the top,
I came out slightly,
so I elongated my bicep,
and then I flexed
the bicep, and then back down
and works my lats. So it's lats
and biceps engagement.
Throughout the week, I'm
focusing on the efforts and I
use that as a gauge as my,
kind of, marker on the weekends
to see if I've improved.
If the bikes or the runs feel
easier on the weekend,
and I'm able to push it a
little bit harder and faster,
it means I've done good during
the week.
If I'm just going through the
motions during the week,
then I'm not going to make any
improvements on the weekends,
and
I can't have that.
There's no fucking point,
is it? I might as well just sit
in the car.
Hello.
Hi.
It's day 46.
We are on the way to the pool.
It is like, uh,
four something,
in the morning.
So we'll film a little bit. Not
too much while we're swimming,
obviously. Cause we've got to get our fucking laps in. Which
I believe is like,
2300 meters today.
A lot of swimming.
So, we'll probably be swimming for a good hour and 10, hour
and 15 minutes, I guess. And then we'll head
into the gym to hit chest and abs.
This is really fucking tiring today.
I don't know how you're finding it.
Really tough on my chest.
Not only tough on my chest,
my bloody triceps and lats are fucking killing me.
It feels like I'm going backwards today,
like I haven't improved.
Feels like I'm going backwards.
Today's workout has been fucking hard. Difficult.
But we owned that bitch.
Good morning. It's day 47.
Supposedly a non training day.
But today we are actually training.
Gonna hit
the cardio because we're
flying to L.A. soon.
I'll see you out on the road.
I am halfway through my ride.
I've just over an hour.
I think I've done about
20 miles,
I think. 18 or 20 miles.
And so I'm waiting for
Sunshine. She's a little bit
behind.
She started ahead of me,
I think,
from her place.
But I obviously got here
a little bit before her.
So I've ordered food
and a cup of green
tea.
Got a couple of whole eggs and
a couple of, uh,
four scrambled egg whites
and two pieces of
gluten-free toast.
I don't feel like I need that
much, that many carbs really.
Like, I had a good shake
with some bananas and oats
and Re-Kaged before come in.
And it's a flat route,
and I'm just taking it easy,
so I don't feel like I need
that much.
And like, it's easy today,
it's an easy ride.
High volume,
three hours,
but easy ride.
So I'm not going to churn
through calories,
it's more of like an active
recovery, if anything.
So I don't mind taking a little
bit of a break halfway through,
and going back again.
This is our type of
hotel.
As soon as you come in through
the door,
they give you a weight set.
Look at that.
We really did fuck up.
When we were in Laguna
in the hills,
we're taking the wrong trail.
The maps on the phone has
completely got us wrong,
and, yeah, so we weren't
prepared for that.
And so we
ended up getting back in the
car, driving down to Laguna
Beach here, and we thought, you
know what? We'll just run the
beachfront.
There's no fucking boardwalk
here, is there?
Like there is in Santa Monica
or Huntington Beach.
So we've just been running
through the streets.
Fucking diabolical,
across traffic lights,
in between traffic.
Like, I much would have preferred a run
in Boise than this shit,
you know?
You know, I'm really
disappointed because this was
like the highlight of
my week.
You know, knowing it's either a
long bike ride or it's a long
run, and I'm going to put
everything into this.
And I started off frustrated
and stressed and that was a
big problem because I started
out fast.
I started out in front of
Sunshine here,
and I'm completely fucking
burned out. I've burnt myself.
I've gone too hard,
too soon and now I'm absolutely
dragging ass.
How're you doing there,
alright? Yeah, doing it.
Yeah, she's good,
see? She's keeping consistent.
I fucking burnt myself out,
so now I'm going to have to try
to pick myself back up.
Done.
Completed 10 miles.
If you don't believe us.
Look at my Strava,
right there.
Can you see it? I dunno.
If you don't, you're going to
have to believe me.
Lens maybe a little bit smudged
from all this sweat.
But finished our very first
ever 10 miles.
It took like an hour and 45
minutes, or something.
Oh man, that was so friggin
hard. Yeah,
having this muscle definitely
is making my job harder.
I do make these things fucking
challenging, don't I?
Well, I get myself into these
things, I'm going to have
to get myself out of them.
So we just came down here,
just to do a little bit of, well
Sunshine was
drawing. She was sketching the
little silhouette over there.
And I've been reading this book
called Redemption about this
guy John
McAvoy.
Who spent, god, a good portion
of his life in prison.
And whilst he was in prison,
he broke several world records on
a concept 2 rower.
And then when he got out
he, you know,
joined a rowing club,
and then he decided he wanted
to get into triathlons,
Ironman. And in his third every
Ironman, he placed in the top 10,
second fastest marathon time.
It's such an inspiring story.
All right. We are at the O.C.
swim series.
It is day, what day did I say
it is? 49.
It's day 49.
It's a Sunday.
So only, like, six weeks ago we
started this Man of Iron video
trainer, 5, 6 weeks ago.
And now we're participating in
our first race.
There's a one mile and two
mile option,
basically you just repeat it
twice if you do the two miles.
I have no idea if I can even
attempt that.
I've entered for the two mile,
but I may just stop after one.
So now we're going to,
we just got some advice from
people down at the endurance
house, they said put some glide
on or anti chafe
because the wetsuit can chafe
you.
We've never wore wetsuits
before, so we don't really
know. So I'm just looking at
other people around me and
seeing what they're doing,
and hoping they're not doing
anything wrong.
There she is!
She just finished
the one mile.
Did it feel OK?
Yeah, it felt OK.
Didn't panic? I panicked a couple of times.
At the beginning? Yeah, definitely.
Yeah, me too. But you did it, baby! Congratulations!
