Totally Rad Workouts from yesterday and today:

Yesterday: Ran 35 minutes, Swim 750 (all drills per orders from my coach)

Today: Body weight strength routine in practice. Squats, lunges, bridges, planks, a bunch of core stuff. Right now it seemed like fun but I'm sure tomorrow when I can't walk up stairs or laugh or sneeze cause I'm sore I'll love it even more. 

Does anyone have experience biking in NYC? Any specific things I should look out for to make sure I don't become street pizza? I know some people who ride up the Westside Highway and over the George Washington Bridge, just wondering if anyone else has done this and what their thoughts are.

Where are you logging the workouts?? does this relate to an email I received from the site a few days back.

Finally made it out for a run today.  I've been fighting a head & chest cold lately, but started feeling better yesterday. It was a slow run for 4 miles and had to take a walk break for about a minute after three miles.  I just couldn't catch my breath. Apparently I'm not completely over the chest cold, cause now I'm back to wheezing. I was planning on getting on the trainer tonight after class, but I'll have to see how I'm feeling.

Foggy, I even logged todays run.  When you look at my logs for the last two weeks, it's not that I have been lazy about logging workouts, it's that I haven't been working out due to feeling like crap.

To log your workout just click on the "Training Log" at the top of your page. Then scroll down to the date you want to enter (in the center column) and click on "Training". It takes you to a detailed page where you just enter in times & distance for each discipline you worked out, and then hit save. Once you save, Foggy will be able to view your workout by just clicking on your profile, I think.

I haven't been logging my workouts either, since I'm not doing tri-specific workouts yet. This forum is still helpful because I learn from all your questions and think of questions of my own!

For all you MN-locals, has anyone raced the Brewhouse in Duluth or any other races in that area? The Brewhouse is the first week of August, and it's my first lake-swim. Am I gonna need a wetsuit??? It can be crazy hot in August, but at the same time, Duluth is always cooler than the Twin Cities...the swim is NOT in Lake Superior - it's outside the city on a golf course...

Have had a better training week this week than last week. The weather has been so beautiful that I was even able to get my bike out on Monday for a ride!

Swam last night and it was the best swim I have had so far! My heart wasn't racing and I wasn't out of breath! In fact I didn't even have to stop to catch my breath at all and I swam 1600 meters! And if that wasn't great enough, someone asked me for tips on swimming!  

That's a cracking pace, I've been challenged on a 10K mid March so going to push in some sensible speed work would be over the moon to hit a 7min mile but will thank the gods to hit a 7min15sec mile.

I have done NOTHING all week due to this cold, serious withdraw symptons but have planned 2000m swim tomorrow and my usual 10 mile run on Sunday (will be doing this distance for the first time withmy orthotics).

Got my wetsuit today, just need a cape and I can head into town and save a few damsels in distress...

Finally starting to feel better.  Made it to the pool this morning for 2500m. Felt pretty good, I managed 1500 at 1:33 pace.  The rest was drills.  When I got home this afternoon I was still feeling pretty good so I went out for an hour run.

Not sure yet what tomorrow is gonna bring.  There has been some talk from a few of my riding buddies about getting outside tomorrow for a 60 mile ride.  If the weather holds, I'm in.  You don't get many chances of outdoor riding in Michigan in February. 

I hope everyone is doing well.

I know the feeling been really frustrated with this chest infection but seem to be coming through the worst of it.

What way are you working out your pace 1:33 over ?
