Veteran  160   Toronto |  Subject: RE: Scottt's Group - ClosedAll the best for the 5km. You'll do great. Bad news on the back front. Went for a little 20 min run on the treadmill after getting the ok. Held off doing anything Sun and then Monday was back to being in constant pain. Need to get an MRI but am told it will take several months. My ex is a surgeon so will try and get one earlier. Going to sports doc next Wed. Very disappointing that this is the beg of my season. No injuries last year. Raced my first race with pneumonia and no complaints. Fi |

I hope you are able to get in and have it taken care of soon. Best Wishes |

Regular 139 Salem | Subject: RE: Scottt's Group - Closed ckallpoints - 2010-04-06 9:41 AM Well I have my first ever 5k Saturday at 7:AM. I'm a little nervous, I haven't raced in 30+ years. Its going to be interesting to see how the whole process works. I figure a local 5k is a good place to get my feet wet. Oh and the local forecast is Lo of 39 mostly cloudy I don't need to worry about the high. Packet pick up is Friday that will be a new experience as well. Good luck in the 5k....but most of all enjoy the day! |

I live on biofeeze...similar to ben-gay etc. I had a MRI and they tell me that there is nothing they can do. I know people that have had surgery and they say that it has not helped....so surgery for me is out of the question. I try to ge get a massage 1-2 a month and that seems to help me with the tight muscles....anyway i hope you get to feeling better and get the back issue figured out. |

Veteran 160 Toronto | Subject: RE: Scottt's Group - Closed I have to get used to training at 6am again. So I'm going to go to the gym and do some weights on the machines. Stuff where my back is supported. Just to get used to training on a consistent basis again. Going to bed by ten and getting up at 6am. |

I'm having a brutal week - long hours at work and then on 'mama' duty. Hopefully I'll be able to get some good workouts in this weekend. What's everyone else got planned for the weekend? |

We have been moving our office to the suite next door so work has been interesting. We will be done late this afternoon once we get the phones switched over. Then its off to pick up the packet for the 5k tomorrow. I have a hard time calling it a race knowing where I'm going to be at the end. I guess its a race against the clock to set my PR. Its 28* and clear right now I hope its warmer tomorrow. If the weather is good maybe a little ride Sunday. |

Regular 139 Salem | Subject: RE: Scottt's Group - Closed I have a question when it comes to using a HRM. I did my first brick (bike to run) today in prepartion for a sprint tri. When I got to the run my HR was out of my top zone by 5 beats per minute towards the end of my run it was about the same. I have been training for the past few months and I thought my HR would of been within my zone. I guess my question is .......does 5 BPM really matter for training? I'm assumming that the method Im using is not really that accurate 180-age=MHR and I know that everybody has a different HR. The reason I ask is I kept trying to keep my HR within my zone and my run almost got to a crawl....lol. Does anybody have any thoughts? |

Veteran 193 Long Beach, CA | Subject: RE: Scottt's Group - Closed Shawn, I've never heard of 180-Age=MHR. I've heard of 180-Age as an approximation for LT (Lactate Threshold). I've heard of 220-Age=MHR. Many people (including most on this site) violently agrue not to use this formula. At best, it is a rough approximation. A field test is the best way to determine an accurate LT. Since it was a brick, I'm not surprised your HR was higher than for an equivalent stand-alone run. In fact I would expect it. |

Veteran 193 Long Beach, CA | Subject: RE: Scottt's Group - Closed Unfortunately, the back think is something I have a lot of first-hand experience with. 12 years ago I had a discectomy/laminectomy at L3/L4 after fighting sciatic problems for 6 years. I had a good result and a definite inprovement with my surgery. I continued to be a slave to a group of excercises my therapist gave me during rehab and sleeping with a knee piloow. If I slept wrong, I stilll had quite a bit of pain. After surgery, the greatest improvement happened when I lost the 40 lbs. when I got into this crazy sport. Second to that, I have benefited greatly by staying committed to the original rehab excercises and additional core work. This past fall I started doing yoga 2-3 times per week as a substitute for my core workouts and have seen even more improvement. It has taken many months, but I have more more mobility, much more than I even thought possible, and much less pain. As a minimum, I recommend a commitment to core work 2-3 times per week. Even better...yoga. One of the hardest parts of this sport, even more than the time for workouts themselves, is the time needed to do the support activities, such as stretching, core work and strength work. For me it adds another 40-50% to my total volume (time). |

Veteran 663 Central Point | Subject: RE: Scottt's Group - Closed So I did my first ever 5k Sat and it went pretty well. 35* isn't that cold once you start running. My official time was 40:18 which is a better average time then I have been running on the treadmill. This was also my first run outside, I've been doing all my runs on the treadmill. Pacing is hard to figure without that little number in front of you telling you how fast you're going. All in all I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. Things I learned are: I need to run more. Start a little closer to the front, I had to dodge around some of the slower people. |

Scott, What I meant to type was 220-age.....was in a hurry to get posted and get to work. Im glad to know that it was ok to go out of the zone for a brick. thanx for the info. |

Master 1531 TORONTO | Subject: RE: Scottt's Group - Closed Hey everyone! Hope you all had an enjoyable weekend!! Lots of racing going on! Glad to hear yours went well Craig although it doesn't come as a surprise I had a brutal week last week - kept skipping workouts due to work but this week - I am going to really try and stick to the schedule. Given my first race is in 10 weeks - I have a wee bit more motivation

New user 18 Southern Oregon | Subject: RE: Scottt's Group - Closed So I did my first sprint this weekend. The weather was horrible, cold (49F), raining and the wind and waves on the swim made it extra special. I figure if I can finish this I should do ok down the road. It was a great time and I finished 13/27 in my group so in the middle of the pack. Im looking forward to working on longer distances in the future. Hope everyone else is doing well. Take care. |

Thanks Jay and congratulations to you on your sprint, the weather sounds tough. It was the Pear Blossom and it was a pretty fun. It had a really fun atmosphere. There were 1118 people that did the 5k and 1580 that did the 10 mile. I ended up 790/1118 and 19/28 in 45-49 M. |

Regular 139 Salem | Subject: RE: Scottt's Group - Closed HRM question. Does anybody where there HRM during there tri's? Is it a good idea to keep a check on how much you are exerting in the beginningpart of the race? I was thinking about wearing mine to keep a check on how fast Iam going and to make sure I have enough steam to finish. Any thoughts on this....and also do you wear them during the swim? Another thought just crossed my mind. What do people wear for shortd during the swim. Iam going to have a wet suit for my first race and was wandering if you change into bike shorts in the transition or just go without the extra padding. |

Iam going to have a wet suit for my first race and was wandering if you change into bike shorts in the transition or just go without the extra padding. I just bought a pair of Tri shorts from Aevero. They advertise on this site. They have a little padding and were fairly inexpensive $37 after shipping and came with a jacket. I wore them on the run Saturday under another pair of shorts cause it was coldish but they were comfortable on the run. I haven't worn them in the pool yet but I expect they'll be fine. |

Most of the Tri shorts have adequate padding for the bike and fit fine under your wetsuit. Zoot and 2XU make some nice ones a little spendy but lots of stuff going on sale recently so some decent buys out there. They would also last a couple of seasons or more hopefully. |
