We decided Mark needed a new challenge and this time we got him a new coach! With the help of artificial intelligence, can Mark complete and compete at the Xterra European Championships? This one pushed Mark to his limits, could he do it?!

What challenge should Mark take on next? Share your ideas below 👇

@ngdawgs1 Год назад

A self supported Xterra like 140.6! 2.4 Lake swim/112 bike ride through the mountains (with some steep climbs 🥵)/26.2 trail run with at least 8k ft in elevation gain 🏔 (just on the run alone😜)🥳🥳! That would be epic! Head lamps/hydration pacs/lots of fuel & drop off bags + water filters. Call it an IronMark 💪🏽.

@jamiefuhrman403 Год назад

@ngdawgs1 Год назад

@@jamiefuhrman403 true. His first full Tri 💪🏽. Destroyed the swim btw. That was epic and have never seen so much emotion out of Mark when he completed the journey 🥹😎. I was mainly thinking of the completely self supported concept where is just you, your thoughts, your planning and your ability to dig yourself out of a dark place when you hit the wall. No cowbells or people cheering/No crew to support you/ nobody else suffering with you and no black shirt at the end. Camera crew is just there to capture the journey. Sorry Mark 🙃 I know.. horrible idea 🤣😂.. but what time? 😜

"maybe inspiring a few of you" - I'll tell you honestly Mark, at 117kg I knew it was do or die for me. GTN Videos but particularly yours on running have had me running almost 30km/week for almost 3 months now and whenever I feel a bit too sore to go out, I rewatch your Norseman trials, or your swift challenge vs Lucy, and off I go. Down to 106kg now and still pushing, still watching GTN videos every day. Couldn't be more grateful for all of the content your pushing out.

So as much as my level is *significantly* lower than Mark's, it's great to see somebody even at his level struggling to balance Triathlon and "Life" and getting frustrated at times! Very realistic portrayal of what it can be like for so many of us just trying to do what we can to get through our races 😅

@ljadf Год назад

So inspiring to watch a real contender all the way through a race. I'm so used to watching large groups blast past me, it was really good to see an 'out of shape' presenter remind us all we can get back in shape and mix it up with some heavy hitters.

@XTERRAplanet Год назад

At our XTERRA events we really want everyone to know they can compete. No matter how "out of shape" you might feel, you can still rip it. Let's go!

@declanbroderick4453 Год назад

Well done Mark. It would be nice to see what improvements you made, VO2 max, FTP etc. during the training and how that compared with the expected goals it set for you (or for what the A.I. "thought" was possible). I get really bad with training when I don't have an event to train for so I understand your mindset starting this and recognise what a big effort it took.

@jamiefuhrman403 Год назад

Impressed you kept this under wraps from the GTN community! Congratulations on a successful challenge. It's reassuring to hear that even pros and avid triathletes struggle at times and I'm glad to see you've rekindled your motivation.

Using humango for over 8 months. I liked it better than real coaches phoning it in with training plans/calls. I liked it better then the 80/20 training plans on TP, that I purchased. Weekly replanning on Sundays after my last long run /bike days means I am always improving week on week. I also love the fact that the swim workouts actually sync to my Garmin when ones from Wahoo Systm and TP do not.

I have been struggling for a while, I did IM Canada back in 2016, 2018 I travelled to race IM Switzerland, I withdrew, feeling so tired during taper I think I had over trained. 2019 I decided to get a coach and race IM Sweden only to be diagnosed with stage 2 Melanoma hence season over. Covid covered the next couple of years however I kept training. Come 2022 and I decided to race IM Sweden, the week before the race I decided not to travel, I couldn't face it, did I lose the joy of triathlon. I still kept my training up, a few months ago I did a standard distance race to see how I felt, it was ok, but I didn't have that smile as I crossed the finish line. My training is at 70.3 level with a view to catch a late race this year to see if their is still a passion there. I live near Glasgow and have used the velodrome regularly and enjoy it, as the UCI worlds came around, watching the Mountain Bike XCO has given me something else to consider especially Xterra which probably will give me more of an adrenaline rush. Certainly I enjoy training, just mentally not in a good position. Think that's me!
