So, having done an 8 week Half Ironman Build phase program on TrainerRoad leading into Cairns 70.3 - which thought brilliant I am now about to start my next block of training. Initially I was going to go straight into a 12 week Ironman build phase on TrainerRoad but the thing holding me back is the long indoor rides sending me insane. I've done up to 2.5 hours watching Netflix as I go and up to 1.5hrs of intervals whilst watching ironman motivational videos on u-tube but I'm not sure I can put myself through that again without some other type of audio-visual stimulation. so I've a weeks free trial on Zwift. I'm not fully conversant with its features but I like the virtual cycling world environment and I note that it also has training plans - but perhaps not as good as TrainerRoad. I was wondering whether I could run both programs simultaneously - I.e. Cycle around in Zwift whilst going a TrainerRoad workout. Is that even feasible - or would the Bluetooth pairing send my Kickr insane? Another option - especially for the longer rides for my TrainerRoad program is to use FullGaz. Again, can I do that simultaneously with both programs through my Kickr. Tranny suggestions would be appreciated. cheers A

A group of us are keen to take a helicopter tour to the Grand Canyon (landing in canyon for a meal and including fly over of the strip, hoover dam etc) while in Vegas. There seem to be a few companies with varied costs etc. Do you have any recommendations (or warnings) about which company to go for, why, why not etc???

hi im looking at getting a new MTB hard tail to do the triple tri on as a complete MTB novice can anyone give me the pros and cons of each bike ? the traditional 26 er or the 29 er i can get a V good deal on a similar specked bike (although i will pay $400 less on the 26) has anyone had a 26 then gone to a 29 and felt it to be better or worse or the same? im 63 kg and 168cm tall, from what im reading the 29ers are more suited to a taller rider but do roll over the bumps a little better with the larger wheel diameter any info would be handy thanks IP
