Keep in mind that Lance Armstrong is a professional and trains for several hours per day and I do not.
Lance Armstrong, Stage 1 2005 Tour de France time trial =
11.81 miles = 19 km
20.54 min = 1.75 minutes per mile
34.50 mph(avg)
Using those stats, Armstrong’s run =
10.53 miles = 16.94 km
18.32 min = 1.75 minutes per mile
34.50 mph(avg)
Compare that to my very FIRST real time trial run =
10.53 miles = 16.94 km
28.19 min = 2.68 minutes per mile
22.42 mph(avg)
I’m definitely on my way and am not nearly in as bad shape as I thought.
