Originally posted by rrrunner Originally posted by brigby1 Originally posted by rrrunner Originally posted by amd723 Originally posted by Asalzwed Originally posted by rrrunner Janyne - Wow. So glad you are taking it in stride and have a back to fitness plan. Hands - Have you checked junk mail for your BT emails? I was looking in my junk folder today (for an email from my brother, ha!) and found an oddly intermittent number of BT emails in there. So I went to the cycling studio this morning. The owner wasn't there, his assistant was, who I've also worked with quite a bit. I mentioned to the assistant (Gabe) that even if I didn't stay with Coach I plan to utilize P2M this winter to improve my bike fitness/strength. A few minutes ago I got an email from the owner: I heard that you had a good and hard workout this morning. Gabe said that you struggled a little on the high end stuff but were rock solid on the midrange efforts. That's indicative of some triathlete's. Most tend to spend their time training in mid zone 3 and low zone 4, so they get really good at that, but can't sustain any high end work
THis is excellent. Yes, it is!! Maybe I'll be one of the mega-biker-manatees next spring I've been thinking quite a bit about my goals for next year. I'm leaning toward getting stronger/faster at sprint/oly distance, but I'm still not ready to close the door on IMAZ yet. Still thinkin' on it... You should consider this training whether or not you sign up for IMAZ. Short course focus for earlier in the year to push these higher efforts more. Then later could be either continuing with the short course or for readjust for IMAZ. Even when someone has a long course race in mind, the type of work he's describing is still very necessary towards ones development even though you shouldn't actually see those efforts during the race. It's only in the last part of the build during the fall that the higher level efforts will be reduced, but year round they are important for continued development. Did you follow along with the power mentor group last winter? What the guy described is very much what they did. You'll be relearning what hard work is. And that's not another way of saying to HTFU, but more coming to an understanding about pacing and moderating the efforts. Learning what various intensities can do for you and working effectively at them. Oh most definitely! I plan to work with him either way. But... based on our conversation last week, I should have an idea of my goals so that he and I are working in the right context. Nice! And definitely would want to get on the same page for more overall training. For now it's probably fine to look at training more for shorter course earlier in the year. More IM specific things wouldn't come into play until way past you'd have to sign up. I'd guess he'd want to know about any other possible events like cyclocross, mountain biking, TT's and such. A TT wouldn't be too different, just learning to do a harder effort than what you do now, but the other two could add in some very short and much higher effort work. |

And 20%???? Hee hee. Makes me think of the pictures that have been posted here of treadmills and bikes hanging from the ceiling without the benefit of hooks. That's what it'd feel like. Ones I use only go to 15%, I think. |

Master 3870 | Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2014 v.2 thread2 CLOSED (Poptart/pet pic bribes?) So the lake article I posted earlier was from four days ago. The 10pm news just updated, saying the stench from rotting fish, fecal matter and fertilizers is overwhelming. And absolutely no one should be swimming in it. No results for water quality or mosquitoes (west Nile) since the weekend. Hmmmm...I see our friend's tri turning into a du. |

Melon Presser 52116 | Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2014 v.2 thread2 CLOSED (Poptart/pet pic bribes?) Do NOT think for a minute I didn't notice Pop Tarts mentioned ... Just checking in, update before Kingsley and I leave for the supercrater lake in the wilds. (From bloggie) Please note, however, that I am NOT on the disabled list! Thank you so much for all the love and support. Root canals, fillings, drillings, and SEVEN temp crowns finished up this morning in a mammoth dentist session. Shoulda seen the look he gave me when I asked about training ... no, I didn't tell him about the 10K swim this weekend or Ironman next, why? What he doesn't know won't hurt him So much more painful today after anaesthetic wore off than even when I broke them. Serious faching pain. Today's the day (and probably also delayed onset of getting whacked in the face) I really feel like I got bammed in the mouth by a gloveless heavyweight. |

Member 2689 Denver, CO | Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2014 v.2 thread2 CLOSED (Poptart/pet pic bribes?) I did my first run in my new Hokas. They're great! My hip/ITB and back have been really sore lately and I was a little worried that running would make them worse. No problems whatsoever with increased pain. In fact, they're feeling a little better, probably from moving around more, using my foam roller, and things just settling down. One more run before my Sunday race and I'm actually looking forward to it! |
