Buddaha1964 - 2009-01-07 6:51 PM Alright ran my first full mile in over a year! Whoo Hoo! Nothing like 22*F and 20 MPH wind to get you to keep running. I think I'll hold this distance for a bit though then I can start building. I also did the first day of the Hundred pushup thing, I can barely move my arm right now. I think I'm going to crawl into my shower now and see if I can raise my arms enough to wash. George.

well that is great!!  Youll be running ten on no time

Check out the article from Gordo.....

......lots of wisdom in that tip.

mtntrainer - 2009-01-08 2:56 PM I finally got in the pool! Yeah! It felt so good. I wanted to swim longer but I remembered how much my chest hurt after the first time I ever swam and decided to cut it off at 30min. How the heck do you keep track of your distance. I was trying but I lost track. My pool is 20 yds and I know that I was able to swim 200 non stop, I could have gone longer but never tried, it was towards the end of my w/o. Next swim I'll see how far I can go or maybe I shoot for 1/4 mile than go up from there (once I can get there). Plus I taught yoga today! That felt good after my 9 mile run yesterday

I find it easier to count laps by 25s or 50s...rather then 1, 2,3....  I used to do the alphabet thing too- but now I am just used to counting.  Also if you wear a watch you will kind of know how long it takes to swimm 100 yds.

Awesome job on finding the pool.  And great run- I say anything is possible with an ipod

tripletmom01 - 2009-01-08 3:57 PM SO I did the push up thing- I could only do 25... I really thopught Id be able to do more  Not such a supergirl after all.  Oh well I get to start on week 3!

Thats acutally really good for a woman! I only got 13.

but Im sort of a freak

ROCKY ROAD.... hee hee - mykids like that movie

Terri and any one else-

Looking thru my training bible (yes I am a dork) they have estimates pace zonesbased on a5K run- so I used your New Years pace the closest they had to it was 24:35..... and got these

Z1- 10:54 +
Z2- 9:38- 10:54
Z3- 8:57-9:37
Z4- 8:27- 8:56
Z5- 8:11- 8:25
5b 7:35- 8:10
5c 7:34- max

they seem maybe a little slow- but probaly pretty close...Ill see how they compare to mine

Ok- when I compare my zones from an actual LT test to the ones that coordinate with my best 5K.... they are almost exactly the same.

So Id say go ahead and use those

Tammy-

This is what I got for zones from my coach, seem a little low but maybe not (used resting HR, age, and something else)?  Don't have a 5K time to use.  Can something else be substituted?
