Champion 16743 Somewhere I can be nekidd | Subject: RE: The Ghoulie Mentor Group - Full nichip - 2010-04-10 7:37 PM well, now that I am running again,Ihave a question. How many miles could I safely run in a week? go ahead and look at my logs. I haven't done much in the last 3 weeks.Before that, I was up to 12 miles for my long run and 30 plus miles per week. I do not want to start all over again.but, i also do not want to reinjure myself by doing too much.My plan is to do a 4.6 mile run on monday with some friends. i ran with them today and we did an easy 12 minute mile pace. The only thing i will do differently is to do a run/walk ratio of 1:1. i was doing 2:1 before my injury. I see my chiro on wed.Thanks for your help! it is greatly appreciated.Nichi You know your body better than anyone else. If this were me though, this is what I would do. I would do the 4.6 on Monday, maybe 2ish miles on Tuesday, 4.6 again on Wednesday. Take Thursday off, run 2-3 on Friday, then Saturday do a long run of maybe 8 or 9. If you had built yourself up to 12 miles, you did not lose all of your fitness in 3 weeks. You need to ease back into running though. You don't want your long run to be more than 1/2 of your total miles for the week, some people even say more than 1/3, to prevent injury. Good luck |

| Master 2484 St. Louis | Subject: RE: The Ghoulie Mentor Group - Full Beautiful day here. Won't be getting a swim in tonight. My wife bought new lights for the front of the house and I need to wrap up the taxes. My wife also strongly suggested I think about taking a little more care of the lawn this summer which will be at the expense of my workout schedule. It's all about balance. Oh well, I got away with it as long as I could :-). |

Anne - great idea - think the neighbors or my family would mind me mowing at 4:00am as part of a brick workout - LOL! I am pretty sure that this would not go over well. |

I just went from a roadie to a P2 and am still not comfortable for long periods of time in the aero position, so I end up not in the aero position for most of my ride....... Soooooo, heres my prob. When Im doing intervals on my trainer and I drop down into aero, without changing cadence or gear, my HR drops by like 20bpm almost instantly! I'm thinking theres an issue with my HR monitor(nike triax c10)??? Or that body position in the aero position is significanlty more effecient. I know that it is but.........? 20 bpm??? thats just crazy!!! Any other reasons anyone can think of? I was thinking about this yesterday on my run. Did you by any chance change your breathing. If you were breathing through your mouth when you were upright, but then started breathing through your nose when you went aero that could explain the drop in HR. Breathing through your nose helps to regulate your heart rate. *Keep that in mind. If you start feeling like you are working too hard, breathe through your nose and you will get your heart rate under control. Anyway, it was just a thought. You mean I'm not helping myself when I my tongue hangs out of my mouth and I am panting like a dog? My St. Bernard impressions aside, this is pretty interesting. I'll have to keep it in mind in the future! |

Oh well, I got away with it as long as I could :-). You could just do what an alumni of the University I work at is doing...he is throwing down 10-20% clover seeds in his grass seed mix because they help add nitrogen back into the soil while also covering up some of the bad grass patches. He's just going to tell his wife it must be a bad year for clover if she asks. He figures it will look greener and keep his lawn healther in the long run, while also getting him a little peace and quiet with his wife of 35+ years. Then again, the 4 AM mowing brick sounds pretty good too! |

I love the rest of the yard work, weeding, trimming, mulching, planting. Full body workout with something to look at when your done. |

| Champion 14677 Bronze member | Subject: RE: The Ghoulie Mentor Group - Full So folks, What training is on tap for this week (assuming all our weeks go as planned)? I am trying to figure out what, if any, training plan I am going to use now that the 1/2 is over. I have an uphill run race to train for. Obviously I need to do hills. I also need to get some quality biking and ANY swimming in as well. This week starts the biking and strength for real. Edited by ceilidh 2010-04-12 3:08 PM |

I ran 4 this morning and will get in a couple swims and 1 more short run. My 1/2 is on Sunday. I am also going to have my 14 yo niece Thursday thru Saturday. I'm expecting that the agenda will be full of shopping and sight seeing. We'll probably spend at least 1 day in NYC hitting the sights and maybe a show. |

| Master 2484 St. Louis | Subject: RE: The Ghoulie Mentor Group - Full So the porch light project is going as suspected. Home projects are almost never 15 minute jobs like they should be. New lights are much larger than the old ones and the people that built the house never shimmed the old ones properly. Two trips to Lowe's and I have one light up (out of four) and that light will be coming back down. Affirmation that I should continue to procrastinate home projects for as long as possible :-). |
