  • Sport Science host John Brenkus competes in the IronMan triathlon. The race consists of a 2.4 mile swim , a 112 mile bike ride and a 26.2 mile run! Can the "average Joe" hold his own against seasoned triathletes?

    440,000 calories burnt in 12 weeks. this means more than 5,200 per single day. that seems quite impossible to me.
    and john is not a "person like you and me" or an "average joe". he might be kind of an average long distance triathlon athlete, but never ever is he average compared to "average joe". his VO2 max is far above an average person!

      I agree with you. 64 ml/kg of VO2 max is quite good. The average person should have not more then 45!

    He's not average. In order to hide him being above average they probably purposefully didn't test his blood lactate, which is the true measure of a persons athletic ability. Someone can have an average VO2 max, but they're blood lactate could be that of an elite athlete. Also to make him more like the average american, they should have chose someone who is obese since nearly 50% of american are overweight or obese.

    Preparing for an ironman long distance race is much more then just swim bike run... you need proper neutrition, hidratition, stretching and foam rolling. If you miss one you will have a hard time for sure. Dobt think this fella cares about most of these.. like an average joe... hmmm

    V02 max leaves out one thing though heart which is one the most important parts of triathalons iv never done an Ironman but I’m a highly competitive triathlete underage and compete at national level and this is my opinion

    So in 12 weeks, he runs 380 miles. 12/4 = 3 months then 3 / 380 miles => 127 miles per month. 127miles per month for an average person, lol. Thats IS impossible for an average person. Remember, he still have to run and bike.
