SBR Utopia - OPEN (Page 15)

brigby1 - 2012-12-30 6:38 PM Just about 66 miles running in the past week, on a sore calf. Everything was easy or less, so never really stressed things, walked as needed for short bits. Calf should never feel like it's working. Ran 6/7 days and twice a day for each. No way was I getting to that total without all the doubles. Both runs today were great, and well within the normal easy range again.

We have options. This morning I ran in the snow. This afternoon I ran on ice.

Normally I do 3 doubles and the mileage distribution is quite different. With the calf bugging me, I took advantage of having the week off to shift it around to a bunch of runs that were easily manageable. The other pattern would have likely been 40-45 miles by running within my limits each time. It really works, but need to have the mindset in or the frequency can wear on you.

4,300 yds at Masters this evening. A repeating ladder pattern for the main set (400-300-200-2x100; 300-200-2x100;200-2x100). Rest was never more than 15 sec between anything in that, usually less. My hands & forearms are feeling it as well from everything this week.

The oldest is 6 and by far the most accomplished triathlete in the family.  He did four races the past summer - in his AG he won two, 2nd in one and 3rd in his first.  He's a year-round swimmer, so he dominated the swim.  He isn't that strong on the bike.  He last race he got passed on the bike and the other kid put a pretty good lead on him.  He almost chased him down in the chute.  If he had just about 10 more meters, he would have taken it down.

This is him in the finishing chute.  They had him losing by two seconds.  It's all incredibly fun.  If the 3yo daughter takes an interest, she will be fierce.

bzgl40 - 2012-12-31 10:22 AM Not tri related but I finished the year being able to do an unassisted pull up.  Woot.  Been working on that for a bit now.  Chin ups are easier, I can knock out a few of those unassisted.

Did my annual 100x100 in the pool this morning. Last year I had a couple of swim team kids to draft off but this year no such luck!


1-10 swim on 1:35 holding 1:21-1:22
11-20 pull on 1:30 holding 1:17
21-30 swim on 1:35 holding 1:19-1:20
31-40 pull on 1:30 holding 1:17
41-50 swim on 1:35 holding 1:19-1:20
51-60 pull on 1:30 holding 1:18
61-70 swim on 1:35 holding 1:21-1:22
71-80 pull on 1:30 holding 1:20-1:21
81-90 swim on 1:35/1:40 - around #85 my times jumped from low 1:20s to mid 1:20s and I increased the pace time to 1:40
91-100 pull on 1:30 holding 1:21-1:22

Around 50 or 60 I started taking an extra 30 seconds rest after each 10.  Things got really tough around #85!

Time for a nap I think...
