Master  1748     Port Moody, BC |  Subject: Winter trainingWell I would have to say that my winter training has started. 0913 I went out for a run and at 9:13:16 the hail started! Interest in running? Zero, but I stayed with it. ran with the dogs (new one needs some work!) So what is everyone else looking at doing for staying fit this winter? Me, trail running; lots! bike: just started playing with my Computrainer (I have the bestest wife in the world!!!) Swim; hitting the Coquitlam pool down the road as often as I can with a few stops at Canada Games. Looking forward to the winter, building muscle, endurance and building plans for 2010. Next year will be a good one. Who else is kicking it into high gear in the season of dark, dreary and damp training times? Good luck to everyone and here's hoping you all stay healthy and well! |

Member 33 Coquitlam, BC Canada | Subject: RE: Winter training I went to my first spin class last weekend and plan on doing that quite a bit. I got in a road ride yesterday between rain, hail and whatever. Don't mind running in any weather and I live about 2kms from the Hyde Creek pool. Will probably join the Master's Program there as well. I do off ice training with hockey teams as well so I can get in a workout with them as well. Plan on getting back to Kona in February which is my favourite place to train. Edited by capricho 2009-11-12 9:25 AM |

Pro 4578 Vancouver, BC | Subject: RE: Winter training I rode my bike for about 5 hours yesterday in Vancouver, Richmond, North Delta, Ladner & Tsawassen and it was brilliantly sunny the whole time. Okay, there was some clouds, but certainly no hail or rain, so I guess I was lucky. I admit, the reason I went to South Delta is because it's always sunnier there. My winter training consists of, cycling: Wednesday & Friday at the velodrome (maybe outside to the velodrome too), then Saturday & Sunday outside rain or shine and swimming: Tuesday & Thursday evenings at the VAC.

Master 1420 Victoria, BC | Subject: RE: Winter training I'm trying to find a job in Calgary - and preparing a move there. It SNOWS there! LOTS! All the winter long! And it doesn't melt! You light-weights on the Island/Mainland got nuttin to complain about! lol.  But believe me - I am enjoying Victoria weather every day, for as long as I can. If luck holds out, I won't move till March/April/ish, so I'll miss the worst of winter. Not looking forward to going back to the chinooks, though - I always got such terrible headaches. |

Extreme Veteran 361 Kelowna, BC | Subject: RE: Winter training Running, running, and more running. Bike's already on the trainer, sad to say. Probably won't swim until January. Weight training and hitting the gym for cardio too. |

Expert 1110 Pitt Meadows, BC | Subject: RE: Winter training Gotta try and get s'more . I'll be trying to go outside whenever I can but I'm also signed up for a Learn to Ride clinic at the Velodrome! We'll see how that goes! Hopefully a lot of trail running this winter - LOVE the trail running! Swimming, well, that will probably wait until January!  Sooner only if I'm feeling really guilty! And we'll throw in some weights when the weather doesn't co-operate! |

| Master 1641 Seattle, California | Subject: RE: Winter training This winter for me is all about getting back into training. I took 2 years off after IMC in 2007. Not intentionally though the the couch and potato chips won me over for a while. Currently I'm mostly running. Trying to build up to around a solid 25 - 30 miles per week by Feb. In Feb I start a 12 week 10k training program and I'm going to take a shot at a 10k PB in April. In Jan I will start swimming with my tri club again and I'm planning on short course next summer and probably for the next few years. Ironman was fun but I've learned I enjoy a good session at the track over a 30k run any day. Short and fast (relatively) for the foreseeable future. |
