112 mile Time Trial - pacing,,,
Quote | Reply
An opportunity has presented itself to do the bike at an IM relay. Anyone ever done this before? I'm wondering about pacing v. a standard IM. I think 78% of FTP was my IM pace, and 83% was my 1/2 pace, but what's a realistic target when you have no swim before and no run afterwards? 80%?

Advice would be helpful.

if you can do 83% for 1/2, I would say at least 83%. Riding to the end of your limit w/o saving a for 1/2 marathon or full should allow you to spend more as well.

78% seems quite high for a full and 83% low for a half IM. I thought it was more like 72-75% and 85-87%?

Anyway I'd guess 80-83%. I think it would be very hard to do half IM watts for 112 miles.
