Ironman Louisville : Official Thread (Page 13)

Woo! I'm staying there too, should be a great choice!

I am not at the Galt house as I like to be away from all the hype. . . 

The training is going well. . . as well as February can go I guess. 

My training is going well.  I've missed a workout or two here and there. 

First race of the year is this weekend.  I'm curious to see what kind of improvement I'll have.  I have a year of training in my legs and I'm 15 pounds lighterthis year.

My bad, it a 1/2 mary not a tri. 

Training has suddenly gotten a lot better.  Took 9 weeks off run/bike to let an injury heal.  Started riding again this week.

After 9 weeks of nothing but swimming, even riding the trainer in my basement feels like fun!

Glad you're better--welcome back to training!

I've got the pre-plan start blahs. Which is probably ok. I want to be rested so come March 1st I'm ready to hit it hard steady. I think I'm going to try a mile in the pool for time today.

I'm staying at the Days Inn near 4th street live! Close to the finish so I can shower and maybe make it back down to the finish line to catch other finish.

My "training" right now is in my Winter Build phase where I build my base workouts as the winter comes to a close in preparation for the first of my tri/race build phases:

 Right now...swimming is two shorter focused swims per week (1.5K ea) and one long Masters swim (4K)

Biking is two indoor Computrainer sessions per week with another on the weekend (or an outside ride if possible)...nothing long, just staying in touch with my bike.

Running is three runs a week...one short (2-3 miles-dreadmill), one a technique/speedwork run (2-3 miles with strides or sprint intervals), one longish run (right now @ 6+ building to 8+ by mid-March)

Everything else is lifting twice a week, core twice a week, and trying to eat right.....

All told: we'll see?? 

TrainSmart!

Training has been decent. Next week the testing begins to see where I am at and then the fun really starts to begin.

Please your recovery weeks are like 1,000+ min. 

  I'm really thinking of giving you a few bucks so after you cross the finish line, eat, get a massage, shower, nap, watch some tv, take another nap, eat again, read a book, paint your toenails, take a 6 mile recovery run, you can grab me a bacon cheeseburger from hooters since I should  be crossing the line right about then

Since the 3 of you will be having a picnic by the time I finish, you guys can carry me back to my hotel room

You sure you'll be up for that?!
