i’m planning to head out of my cold weather climate for a week trip towards the southwest in prep for ironman arizona. due to some other coinciding travels, i could do a good 10 day trip 13 weeks out (@ jan 11-21). is this too early to really use it for more than just heavy miles (i.e. weather prediction, race specific wkts)?? at that point, i’ll just be glad to have some time off of the trainer!!
Not too early. Go get the solid training in and enjoy yourself. I have a hard time on the trainer

For most/many, there is no perfect time to put in decent aerobic miles - i.e. it’s always a good time.
true. i’m sure by the first of january i’ll be more than ready to get out of the cold weather for some warmer training weather
