Kona Diary with Philipp Herber - The Record Holder
Philipp Herber is a real eye-catcher! Not just because of the striking orange jersey he wears as a member of the Zwift Academy, but also because of the impressive pace at which he completes his workouts. Consequently, the 30-year-old set a new record at Ironman Copenhagen in August: 8 hours and 19 minutes. No age-grouper before him has ever been faster! We accompanied Philipp "Pipifax" Herber during his pre-race training session at the Energy Lab.

Josh Lunn accompanied him on his last training session. The Briton had already made headlines the previous weekend by winning the Path Run 10km ahead of Lionel Sanders. This month, he aims to run the Frankfurt Marathon in 2:16 hours.

Despite the early hour, things were heating up in the Energy Lab! Philipp was racking up the kilometers at his target marathon pace.

His strongest discipline is undoubtedly cycling. Here he presents his complete race setup, with which he intends to shake up the amateur field. We predict: it will work!
