Subject: RE: Lessons learned from run training.... This isn't scientific or anything but it's working for me....
I had heard a lot of mention of the T2 being a difficult one b/c your legs are like jello and the first mile or so off the bike are hell hoping to God they don't collapse underneath you. I know this feeling...as I bike it happens every time I get off of it. And I thought, wouldn't that suck...go that far with the swim and bike and then fall flat on my face for the run.
Anywho, so what I do is that whenever I do a bike I always, always, always do some type of run after to get my body used to the transition. I've noticed that it's really helped over the last month and a half I've been training. I'm not talking long run. Even if it's a nice, slow, ez mile...but I guess I'm just trying to get the bod used to it. I had a swim/run last night and was really surprised and excited about how much energy I had going into the run and this was after over 50 min of high level interval training on the bike. I felt I could have gone for days and the wobblies weren't too bad.
I'm anxious to hear other lessons learned from the group.
