Extreme Veteran  444   North Brunswick, NJ Silver member |  Subject: My weekly summaryAlmost stuck to my plan 100%. Pretty good training week capped off with a great 4 rider computrainer session @ my coaches place in New Brunswick with other guys also training for Ironman Lake Placid. There is a lot of comfort that I now know 2 others that are signed up for this July adventure. I was so pumped when I got home that I changed and went out for a 6 mile run. No iPod, just me and the cold, it was great. It actually snowed for about 5 minutes during the run which made is really nice. Gonna go eat and then pass out for a few hours. Weekly Totals for me: Swim: 2:39 - 4375 yds (1 hr of that was TI training, no yds) Bike: 2:42 - 73 miles Run: 2:00 - 14 miles Strength: 2:00 (including 1:30 of yoga - really starting to appreciate it more & more) |

Shoulder is quite bad and I can barely walk on my right foot....I know where I went wrong; live and learn I guess....Hope everyone's right on target. |

Actually a glass or two of port and an early night is sounding more enticing. Event Time Distance Swim 4:15:20 11550 Bike 1:40 30 Run 1:22 8.8 |

Extreme Veteran 444 North Brunswick, NJ Silver member | Subject: Tri Bike for Sale If you know anyone looking for a Tri bike please pass this link along http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270705735312&ssPageName=ADME:L:LCA:US:1123 I just got it last month, never ridden outside but its just a tiny bit small. It was a great deal so I couldn't pass it up but I rather start off the season with the right bike instead of possibly switching mid year. Thanks, Steven |

Veteran 164 | Subject: Week in review I was traveling this week so the bike got neglected; but I did get in the pool everyday. I had a great dinner in SLC with Roberto and his wife so I have to say this was the best training week yet! NJ, when are we going to do a meet and greet? Shameful I met the rocky mountain guys prior to the Jersey Guys. Total Time: 10:50:46 Swim: 4:17:37 = 7525 Yards Bike: 3:58:08 = 63.46 miles Run: 2:35:01 = 16 miles |

New user 57 | Subject: RE: 1st Swim Test - Somewhat of a break through. I'm ready to go when you are! I initially felt a little off with the new bike, moved the seat forward about 1 cm. The bars felt too low initially, I eventually stretched out. The more I ride the better it feels. |

Veteran 121 Salt Lake City, UT | Subject: RE: 1st Swim Test - Somewhat of a break through. I looked at my watch and was amazed that I was swimming for 50:43; and I could not wait to come home and look at the data. Well the watch had all of the splits screwed up (I am not sure what I did wrong but I know I was not swimming 25 yds in 14 and 15 seconds) so I averaged out my time about 43 seconds per 25 and came up with 1727 yards. Wow, you absolutely rocked it on the swim! I am amazed at how well you have picked this up, I'm calling our local TI coach tomorrow to find out about some lessons. Great job! |

Great dinner and great to meet one of the many from the NJ area, maybe I need to move as it seems that this group is mostly located in that area. Am I missing something? |

It covers the causes of cramps and offers an unconventional cure. I'm sure this will come helpful as I starting go longer distances!!!! When I first started swimming, I could feel my calves starting to tighten up and stopped at that point. I feel like I'm walking a fine line, but the last week haven't had the issues. The Masters couch has me working on my endurance now. Now my lungs burn!!!!!  I'm sure next week, he'll have me go 150 yards without stopping. I feel like I'm doing interval training in the pool!!!! It's all good, so far! |

| New user 50 Colorado Springs | Subject: RE: Big Steve's Group - CLOSED Here's my totals. I'm starting to think Basketball is a bad idea! I did a cut and tweaked my knee again. I had no pain running, swimming, and biking for the last week an half and my first night back tweaked my knee. I only lost a day and half of training because of it. I'm glad I'm only during a sprint, but my training plan is set-up to train for an Olympic. Swimming 5500 3 hrs 15 mins Biking 13.13 36 mins (only got one workout in due to knee issue) Running 1.13 13 mins (same as biking) Strength 60 mins Basketball 45 mins (I count this as part of one of my running sessions) |

| New user 50 Colorado Springs | Subject: knee issue again.... As mentioned above, I tweaked my knee again playing basketball. It would hurt to bend my knee and walk up and down stairs. It was better after a couple of days of rest. What concerns me is I had no pain for two weeks and hadn't played Basketball for a couple of weeks. Then last Wednesday I tweaked it again, when I did a hard cut. My questions is it something else then the meniscus like all the web sites tell me. Is it ,ore serious like an ACL or MCL tear. I'm fine running, swimming, and biking. I guess I'll give basketball another night and take it easier and so what happens. If I tweak it again, I guess I need to see the doc. Anybody have anything similar happen to them? I wonder if I'm just to tired on the day I play Basketball, since I'm up at 4:30am to go swimming. Maybe I just need nap before playing Basketball at 7pm! Edited by OspreyTriAhtlete 2011-02-14 11:35 PM |

Member 35 Vancouver Isand, BC | Subject: RE: Big Steve's Group - CLOSED Aaaaah, it seems I'm not the only one suffering from injuries these days. I have a question for you all. I started experiencing shoulder pain (mostly on my left trap but some cuff pain too) and could only attribute it to the swim; although I didn't have an acute injury (that I remembered anyway) it just graduated over the course of a week until it got to the point that I couldn't even lift my arm and my second problem is a crampy pain on the top of my right foot that doesn't seem to want to go away I can only assume from jogging...anyway, my question is this, I've taken a week off and think I should get back at it, but although both pains are "better" they're still there should I go for or take more time off? I don't want to pamper myself but I also don't want to make things worse like last year. Thanks... |

New user 57 | Subject: RE: Big Steve's Group - CLOSED I used to get shoulder pain similar to what you are describing. It came from reaching too close to the centerline and over exerting on the stroke. I now reach at 10:30 and 1:30 respectively instead of 12:00. I finally worked my way out of it by swimming with less intensity and focusing more on perfecting stroke mechanics. When I felt pain, I would back off. By going slow and long, I eventually built the strength to begin adding more intesity without pain. |

| New user 50 Colorado Springs | Subject: Training Day Nutrition? The other day I was talking to my old weight lifting trainer on my nutrition. He thinks I need to be taking 3 whey protein shakes thought out the day. From everything I've read for triathlon training, you need to consume more good carbs and the foods I eat should have enough protein, like chicken. On my training days heres what I take: Breakfast: Mid morning snack Lunch Mid afternoon snack training depends on the day Dinner usually a healthy meal loadded with good carbs like whole grain pasta Evening snack is a handful of crackers or pretzels I think I will need to consume more good calories as my workouts start to get longer distances. What are most of you doing and is whey protein shakes needed in my diet? Edited by OspreyTriAhtlete 2011-02-14 10:38 PM |

As someone that has 2 acl surgeries a meniscus repair and a couple of other knee surgeries all that I can recommend to you is to get it checked by a doctor as an MRI may answer your questions. Be easy on your knees and rest them if they are giving you a hard time. I have been easing my way into running and am still doing very low miles at an easy pace as to not hurt the knees. Take care of yourself and listen to your body. |

Member 35 Vancouver Isand, BC | Subject: RE: Training Day Nutrition? OspreyTriAhtlete - 2011-02-14 8:36 PM .... He thinks I need to be taking 3 whey protein shakes thought out the day. ......On my training days heres what I take: .......I think I will need to consume more good calories as my workouts start to get longer distances. What are most of you doing and is whey protein shakes needed in my diet? Three shakes a day would be pretty accessive, but weight lifters tend to be that way  I'm married to one....anyhow, your diet looks great and for as long as you feel good, your training intensity is good (and developing), your resting heart rate is lowering or maintaining, and you're not losing weight, it should work out great, for now....but when one of those starts to change, as they will with more distance, you're right, you'll need to up your good calories and protein being one of them. I've read that consuming protein before an intense cardio workout can upset your stomach so don't throw a shake in there, but I would definitely throw one in within 20-30 minutes after a particularly intense session but always use a simple carb with it as well as a chewable Vit C, that helps in absorbtion to the depletion muscles. Oh and definitely add in a shake after a strength training session.That's my 2 cents but I'd love to hear what others are doing as well..... Edited by Muskwa2 2011-02-15 11:26 AM |

Member 35 Vancouver Isand, BC | Subject: RE: Big Steve's Group - CLOSED Thanks grant, that sounds like a plan to me....I've not hear of the 10:30 and 1:30 analogy before, I'm going to try that. I struggle with keeping my intensity down, I'm fine when I'm thinking about it but once my mind starts to wonder, I find I struggle for the lap. Our swim trainers will be starting next month with our tri-club so I'm sure that'll help too. Yeah, I got to get back at this  Edited by Muskwa2 2011-02-15 11:33 AM |
