I got a video onto YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nOfMoe22n8  This kind stranger agreed to one lap, but must have thought A Lap was one length.  I found it humorous.

Is there a different way you'd prefer?  I don't know what FTP is, or an e-mail address to use.  Thanks for offering this.

1st brick today.  3 hours on trainer doing Madison tape then 33 min run outside.  Legs still felt like they were cycling when I was done running.  Wierd.

Thats a heck of a first brick!  How did you like the Madison tape?  I got it for christmas and will definitely turn music on for background from now on.  Troy Jacobson commentary was a "yawner" to say the least.

3 hours on a trainer must have felt like torture...great job!

Turned commentary on mute after 1st 10 min (definitly a yawner) then put on ipod.  Biking was not torture but I found myself wishing I could lean into corners, etc while watching the DVD.  Looked like there were some decent hills but nothing too bad.  Kind of like around where I live.  I fueled myself with watered down lemonade and fritos.  Felt pretty good all the way through.  The recommened gearing did not jive perfectly with the terrain which was a disapointment.

Steve- - 2010-01-11 4:16 PM My friends at the healthclub ride every sunday and watch a movie.  It's called Theater in the Saddle.  I did it for the first time last sunday and it was fun...we watched the unrated version of Hangover.

I wasn't too keen on being on a spin bike and not knowing my watts so I think I'll bring my bike and computrainer next time i go...would that be weird?

I would bring mine. A spin bike!! I don't think so. I need to know either my watts or how fast I am cycling. It would be weird to be just spinning and not know. Does that make us control freaks??

Steve- - 2010-01-12 9:14 AM ha...yeah, i think so.  i already recon'd the spin room for an outlet to plug in my CT.

Steve/Scott (if he is around )

Do you ever throw optional or just-for-fun workouts in your athletes plans?  Since swimming is my weak link, I know I can pretty much swim whenever I want to, but I always follow one of my perscribed workouts.  Today, I didn't.  Just did my own thing and it was awesome. .  I love the structure and knowledge that coaches provide, but sometimes you just want some freedom.  Thoughts?

Do other people have a little flex in their plans????

eddievolly - 2010-01-12 4:37 PMI'm hoping to get some input on this matter:

I'm looking for inserts to put into my running shoes/flats.  I have been rotating 3 different pairs of shoes when I train so my feet don't get accostomed to a specific type of shoe.  (1: Asics Gel Nimbus-cushion shoe, 2: Adidas AdiZero CS-running flat, and Adidas AdiZero Mana-running flat).  I really like the responsiveness of the racing flats and along the way I like to do a lot of my long runs in the Nimbus for the added cushion.

Also, this past February of 2009 I developed what was much later diagnosed as Posterior Tibial Tendinitis.  The tendinitis is flaring up because my arch (on my right foot for the purposes of this discussion) is collapsing too much when I'm running, particularly whenever I do speedwork or run 5-10k's

That's the background.  My question is can anyone recommend to me some support inserts to place in my shoes to support my arch and resulting pronating ankle?  I know that I should look into buying some Support specific shoes but outside of that I was wondering if anyone is currently using or can recommend running soles that provide support.  I know there are a few options out there even to the extent that you can mold some inserts before placing them in your shoes.

Any advice is welcome so please send it over.  If you don't want to clog the Forum I'd also accept PM's.

Thanks everyone...

TracyV - 2010-01-12 6:46 PMSteve, this maybe a rudimentary question, what does Nike free shoes mean?

amd723 - 2010-01-12 7:09 PM Prior to moving to a less supportive shoe, did you ever have problems with plantar fasciatis (sp?) ? I'm intriqued by the less supportive idea, but have had pf in both feet and am concerned about it coming back. I understand the theory behind the less supportive method, but don't know anybody who has moved to it after suffering from pf, so I'm a bit skeptical/concerned.
