Member  386   Yardville, NJ |  Subject: RE: Clyde/Athena Tri-N-4- Weight Loss Mentor Group -OPEN AGAIN!!Originally posted by DBGlobal 10.5 miles on the treadmill is quite a physical and mental workout. Congrats! I have exactly four weeks before I need to begin my 12-week HM training plan. The plan calls for 4 runs per week, one short and easy, one interval or hill repeats, one tempo, and one long run. Since I've only been running 3 days per week, I'm going to take the next 4 weeks to ramp up my running to four per week, plus work on the other 2 sports. My workout schedule looks like this: Mon-weights/easy run, swim. Tues-bike, run. Wed-weight, swim. Thurs-bike, run. Fri-off. Sat-run. Sun-bike. Is anybody else training off some sort of plan, or just freestyling right now? Thank you! It was quite a workout. I'll share my treadmill observations later... As far as following a plan, yes, I swear by them. When I wing it, I have a hard time knowing what to do when. I am currently in 20 week half marathon plan. Since I was not much of a runner, had never ran more than 5, i wanted to focus my winter training on the run. It is pretty much 6 days a week. 1 day of cross-training (bike or swim). It includes at least one rest day per week (some weeks have 2). It includes 2 strength workouts. And a mix of short, easy runs, hills, speed work, and normally a long run on Sunday. It really has helped my running. It's based on time, not distance. I'm approaching the time when I need to add in more bike/swim. I have sprint's in May, June and July. Then my first Oly in August. I'm thinking of an intermediate sprint or Oly plan that will lead me right into those races. |

Member 386 Yardville, NJ | Subject: RE: Clyde/Athena Tri-N-4- Weight Loss Mentor Group -OPEN AGAIN!! So my treadmill story of Sunday (which might spark a blog topic for one of the bloggers in the group  ... Plan called for 110 minute run. I figured the preset of 120 was easier to select, so I'm off and running for 2 hours. It was Sunday morning and the gym was pretty busy. Only 2 open machines, so I grab one and Randi grabs the other (not even close to each other). First hour and half were pretty much uneventful except for the endless stream of people that got on, got off, got on, got off. My new entertainment while doing long treadmill sessions is people watching. It's amazing the things you see. At about 35 mins to go, machines on either side of me open up. The guy that got on my left was, how can I be polite... Well, I can't. He stunk! And not workout stink. He was right from home and phew, it was bad and made my eyes tear. So as I'm trying to battle through and breathe more to my right, the woman on my right started coughing and sneezing. I'm not much of a germs phone, but that grossed me out. So I've got stinky on my left and sneezy on my right. Well lucky for me, Mr Stink only last for about 10 minutes. Sneezy only lasted 5 more. So I finally got "clean" air with 20-25 to go and I finished strong. A true battle of mental endurance! |

The YMCA does not allow anyone to use a piece of equipment for more than 30 minutes at a time. Especially during busy times. So, we purchased a decent treadmill for home. The longest I have EVER done is 90 minutes and that was watching movies on the TV about 10 feet away from the treadmill in my basement. Maybe next winter I will be doing longer runs like you, but I hope to be able to be outside running in about a month and even then it won't be the times or distances you are talking about. Again, great job.

The YMCA does not allow anyone to use a piece of equipment for more than 30 minutes at a time. Especially during busy times. Same at my work gym. I want about 40 mins because I want to get 3 miles in. If everyone leaves I will reset the trendmill so my timer restarts.  My issue is not the people who want to use it. My problem is the people who demand to use it for 5 mins of walking while waiting for there class to start. They come in a big wave and take everything. |

| Member 202 | Subject: RE: Clyde/Athena Tri-N-4- Weight Loss Mentor Group -OPEN AGAIN!! Way to hang in there with Stinky and Sneezy. I have the hardest time with the people who are afraid they might smell at the gym, so they pour on an entire bottle of perfume or cologne. I seem to be extra sensitive to that and it immediately gives me a horrible headache. This treadmill running is going to take some getting used to. Today was my easy 2 mile run and it was a struggle. I think the 2 main reasons were: 1) this cold I have, and 2) I haven't run in anything > 35°F in a couple months so it was at least 30° warmer than I am used to. I'm sure it will just take some time to adjust. As far as saddles go, I purchased the Adamo Prologue last year and all my problems with numbness caused by my stock saddle were gone. I find it to be comfortable as well (once I got my undercarriage broken in). |

My problem is the people who demand to use it for 5 mins of walking while waiting for there class to start. They come in a big wave and take everything. And they walk at 2.0 mph on a 0.0 incline for 5-10 minutes and then go sit on a weight machine saying how tired they are. Not just one time, but every single time they come in. I only use our YMCA for the pool. The rest of my workouts are at home on the trainer and treadmill on bad weather days and outside on all of the others. I actually like being on a run in a light rain and even a light snow if I know there are not any ice patches to worry about. Those are great days to be outside and enjoy the weather. |

New user 80 Howell, Michigan | Subject: RE: Clyde/Athena Tri-N-4- Weight Loss Mentor Group -OPEN AGAIN!! Had my first swim yesterday since I broke my wrist. Swam 1,000 yards, slowly! It felt good to be back in the water. |

Hope everyone's weekend has gone well Donna Excellent! That's a long ride. Which brings up a sore subject... I need a new saddle. Any suggestions? I just got a Bike Nashbar FS1 for $20 free shipping and have to say I love it! I didn't want to spend a cpl hundred and figured at $20 was disposable, but in all honesty works great. I would recommend giving it a try for the price and then scour ebay for a Cobb or Adamo, I think an Adamo ISM saddle will be my reward for completing my first sprint tri Man good work everyone, people coming alive and working hard! I personally feel a plan is a MUST, keeps you on track, takes the guess work out and makes it easy to quickly know what you need to do that focuses on a goal. I am almost done with an 8 week sprint tri program on Training Peaks that will end on the 22nd with me doing an indoor tri. This is the first time I have used on and this is the first time I have EVER followed through with any fitness program. So personally had a tuff swim last night, my head was POUNDING, so much so after my first 400 I felt like puking. Struggled to get a few more 100s in before i had to pull the plug but while I was going was total focus on stroke technique and what a difference! Can totally feel new sore muscles which is instant feedback I was doing it wrong, VERY WRONG! What a difference 10 mins with a coach makes! Bike is tonight and will be back on my trainer after all my maintenance headaches. |

Member 386 Yardville, NJ | Subject: RE: Clyde/Athena Tri-N-4- Weight Loss Mentor Group - Open 1 hour on the trainer tonight - 16.5 miles. A friend from work just bought 2 Adamo Road saddles (he won one on eBay that he didn't think he had a chance of winning). He's going to let me try one and see if it fixes my pain. I'll keep you posted how it works out. |

| Member 202 | Subject: RE: Clyde/Athena Tri-N-4- Weight Loss Mentor Group -OPEN AGAIN!! Hopefully he'll let you borrow the saddle for a few rides. They say on their website it takes some time to get used to, and I agree, it took me a good four or five rides before I got used to the pressure in new places, but I immediately knew it was going to work for me. today was weights/short run, then a 2200 yd swim at lunch. Run at 10 min/mi, swim pace certainly wasn't that impressive. |

| 90 | Subject: RE: Clyde/Athena Tri-N-4- Weight Loss Mentor Group -OPEN AGAIN!! Good Morning! I have been SUFFERING with sudden calf cramps! Only on the bike and this morning when I swam. I felt it tighten and then it hit hard when I pushed off the wall... Any suggestions? Wishing everyone a great day! Donna |

| 250 Ledyard, Connecticut | Subject: RE: Clyde/Athena Tri-N-4- Weight Loss Mentor Group -OPEN AGAIN!! Take some sort of anti inflammatory first off like ibu or something, if you have a foam roller try lightly working the muscle if the pressure hurts stop. Is there any pulling type pain when the joint moves in the knee of is it more of just a cramping pain? |
