Manatee Monkey Mentors SHUT (Poptart or pet pic bribes considered) (Page 15)

Do you, and others who use TR, use their cycling training plans, or do you use something else?  I guess that matters if you are self-coached.

I'm really looking forward the Hawk-i sprint I'm doing this Sunday, guys! I'll be doing it with my tri team, and there should be about a dozen of us there.  Races are always better when there are more people there that one knows.  The 5k is out and back, so I'll get to see everyone on the run.

OK, thanks.

How do you set up your computer screen in front of your bike?

I mean, I'm assuming you'r using a laptop.  How do you get your screen close enough to see what's on it?

Fun!!  I can see why you'd be looking forward to it!

Thanks Darren. In order to get that to work I would first have to maybe find the little doover lacky thingy (yes it is a real term) that opens the battery compartment on my rear wheel sensor so I could change the battery. I know this is a first world problem but really why not just put a slot in it so you could use a coin rather than two little prong holes the size of a bee's d!ck? that cannot be used unless you have the specific device that came with the computer that is the size on a quarter and extremely easy to lose. While I am ranting... Whats the go with adults that think it is perfectly fine to never use their manners!!!! is it really that hard to say or type the words please and thank you? I called someone out on this the other day and they seemed totally shocked that it would be expected that they should ask nicely for things rather than demand them. gggrrrrrr. I bet they make their own kids say please and thank you. // rant over for now

This is why we like dogs.

I hope that you weren't exceeding the speed limit there!  Wait, you were!  You rule breaker you!

Pretty good diversity in that collection! Do you understand the differences between them? Basically ones with intervals longer than those in Fight Club will be threshold based and those with shorter more VO2 and higher. Fight Club splits when done as they wrote it, but I lean towards it being a bit more VO2. Without power available, probably keep around a 2:1 ratio between the types, with more being threshold based. It usually takes more to build that up. When you have power available again taking a look at the Power Meter Mentor group can help to figure out which workouts to do based on your profile.

When doubling up the videos I've done a few things. One is with adding on an Extra Shot and doing it around 90% or so. This may be after a VO2 workout and the effort is like that of a long sprint tri bike or an rather aggressive Oly. It should be hard to do. If it's not, the earlier part probably wasn't done hard enough and changes the development some.

Another things I'll do is to flatten out the peaks and valleys they put in. Meaning the recovery sections won't be so low and the peaks won't be quite so high. Kind of like having some hills when out on a ride. Easy sections are still at least IM effort. Probably more. The harder parts will still be tough, not as hard as hard as I'd usually do. Takes a little practice to get a feel for it.

True that!

But he's going the other way!

Wrong way and speeding!  Double rule breaking!

I didn't see a one-way sign.  Only single rule breaking.  Good thing there weren't any photo radar controls in the area.  Wait, maybe that's how that picture got taken.  Except there's no rear shot showing his license plate...

That makes sense.  I was wondering about doing that.
