Elite  3235     San Diego |  Subject: End of IM training week 17This marks the end of another week. These weeks are becoming harder and harder, which is good. This was a run focus week for me and I only ended up with 1 swim. I think I need to check my schedule again because I'm sure I had more scheduled  Crap, I even cut the swim short so my wife could get to yoga on time. 1 swim, 40 min 1500 yards of drills and pulls in the rain I will have to make up for that this week. Bike: 5 hours, 30 minutes. I had 2 days on the trainer and one hilly 60 mile ride planned. I did the 2 trainer rides with no problem but it was pouring on Saturday, so I rode for 3 hours, 20 min on the trainer, jumping up 1 gear every 30 minutes with 15 minutes of recovery in between the 15 minutes of big gear sets. Run: 5 hours, 34 minutes. I think for the first time I have run longer than I rode for the week. I had three 5ish mile runs during the week with one long (18 mile run) on Sunday. I was lucky because the wheather cleared up just in time for my run. The marathon is going to be the hard part for me, but this run felt pretty good. I was staying within a certain HR the whole time which actually felt a little slow. For the last 4 miles I increased my HR. At mile 16 I felt fresher then when I started. I picked up the pace, and my HR went higher than I wanted but at about mile 17.3 or so, I started to fade. I had run out of gel so I just hung on for the last .7 miles. Even though I was fading I still felt just as good as I did for miles 1 through 15.9. I think I am finally getting used to this running crap This week will be a bike focus week...my favorite. The weekdays will look similar to what I have been doing but I have 100 miles on Saturday and a 12 mile run on Sunday. The hardest part of this week will be my hockey schedule. I have a game late on Friday night. I have a ride early Saturday morning and hockey early Saturday evening, then a run early Sunday morning. My wife's honey-do list is getting longer and longer and she will show no mercy when this is all over. Again, thanks for the encouragement Tom |

I think they need to knock 1/4 mile off of our 5K run It's a fun race though You will like it Tom |

Expert 751 Texarkana, TX | Subject: RE: End of IM training week 17 Hey, everyone flakes on the swim every now and again. Heck, even I only swam twice last week... I am gonna try to hit 100 this weekend on the bike odometer as well. Gulp. And Tom, be a good boy and tell us all (Rich included) how much of the clock that 18 mile run gobbled up. Again, if anyone is interested, you can find my week's recap by clicking on the Logs button below. |

Elite 3235 San Diego | Subject: RE: End of IM training week 17 Thank you everybody. Kim, You must know my wife??? You are right, it's the interest that will get you every time. Phil, Do you really want to know how long 18 miles took me? Lets just say I used up the 3 hours and then some, including being locked out of the house at mile 12...Kim, I think that is also part of the interest payment For every hour that I spend training, "The Redheads" spend that much time shopping. |
