I'm using the intermediate plan off the Grandma's website. http://www.grandmasmarathon.com/pdf/IntermediateMarathon2008.pdf Not exactly scientific or customized, but it's a starting point.

I used the vDot method that Birkie posted. I did a 9.5mi run last Sep where I raced it well, plugged that race time into the vDot calculator, then it spit out my different paces for my Disney marathon training. |

Im getting ready to go run eight miles- then I have a couple really short runs next week before my marathon I had a good weekend. Got in some running, swimming, and snowboarding. I wanted to try to get out on the bike, but the weather did not cooperate. How are you feeling for your marathon? Jim, how did the race go this weekend? I looked up the results and it looks like you did good. Did you meet your expectations? |

Master 1671 West Bend, WI | Subject: RE: Birkierunner's group - ROUND 2 - CLOSED I feel OK.... been dealing with soem ITB issues again... Advil before the run seems to help- not an ideal situation but what can I do? Im really scared Im gonna get sick- EVERYONE around me seems to have something or another.... thatd be my luck AND Im not sure how Im going to run yet....... guess Ill see how i feel day of. Im pretty sure I can do a 4 hour marthon- but I think if Im feeling good I can maybe do a 3:45. So not sure how I will pace myself yet. Be conservative or put it out there and see what happens (2cnd option is WAY more me |

Veteran 244 South Carolina | Subject: RE: Birkierunner's group - ROUND 2 - CLOSED I had a good weekend - Swam some drills on Saturday, then went and had a very successful bike positioning session with LBS. I know it was successful because I went straight out and rode 20 miles, and my right knee didn't bother me at all (had a little nagging soreness before). Bike shop guy moved my seat up a little, changed aerobar position. Sunday I ran 8 miles, which went better than last weekend, when I ran same distance and didn't feel well/got tired quickly. Now if I could just not eat so much this week! |

Also seeing improvement in my swimming. Today I just went out and did a long swim. Ending up just barely breaking 30 minutes for a 1 mile long swim. |

My bike seemed to be ok, I could shift gears and get myself home ok. I'm getting my bike checked right now to see if there is any damage I can't see. My tri is on March 9 so I need your advice on training at this time. I don't feel any pain when I walk, should I be taking it easy or should I just keep on with my training? Glen |

Yes, we need pics Remind me of the length of your tri. In reality, there is not a lot you can do with only 11 days out to improve your fitness significantly. If you don't feel any pain when you run or swim I would keep up with your training. Its an early season race so I wouldn't get too concerned about doing a huge taper for the race (again, depending on lenght of race). In the longer-term perspective with regard to your season its not worth losing a lot of training time tapering for a race that probably doesn't have a lot of importance with regard to your overall season. I'm assuming that your March 9 race is not an "A" race for the season. If that is not the case let me know and we can re-think that. |

New user 14 | Subject: RE: Birkierunner's group - ROUND 2 - CLOSED If I had known you guys were interested in pics I would have taken some yesterday when I had the spill.  The wounds are not as bad as they were after having being bandaged all day. The length of my tri is a sprint level, it's the first tri of the year. I was thinking of doing 2 or possibly 3 tris this year. I'll have to phone the pool to see how they feel about me swimming in the pool with road rash. I should have my bike back on Friday, so I guess I'll try running tomorrow. Thanks. |

Just stay within yourself and enjoy it. Good luck! Ha! That's what I did at Disney but had no kick left in me at the end. So don't do what I did. If you haven't already, consider adjusting hydration strategy (I needed for electrolytes) for the different climate (cold in midwest durign training, much warmer for the race) Have a great race, Tammy!
