tripletmom01 mentor group - FULL!!!!! (Page 16)

tripletmom01 - 2009-01-08 2:57 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!

Um, I could only do 6.  YIKES.

welll using your berbee derby 10K..it was 54:40- right... I can get your paces.... cant get HR data though.....they are

Z1 11:29+
Z2 10:09- 11:28
Z3 9:26-10:08
Z4 8:54-9:25
Z5 8:37-8:53
5a 8:00- 8:36
5b 7:59 max

they had data for 54 minutes or 55 minutes so you may be able to knock the paces down 3-5 seconds
do those seem close to what you have been running?

throwing up is great for the abs to.... so if you run til you puke you can count that as a double work out

Ok Terri- your LT from your test today was 161 so your HR zones are

Z1 106- 136
Z2 137-146
Z3 147-154
Z4 155-160
Z5 161-164
5b 165-170
5c 171-178

so my husband doesnt think I will be able to do 100 pushups
He said he couldnt do 100 in the service when they had to do them ALL the time.

You would think he would know better then to doubt ME!!

Those look pretty darn good.  Thanks!  Now if I could only pace myself running outside like I can on the TM.  I am all over the place with my pacing during races.  I hope to get even a little faster running prior to the Shamrock Shuffle 10K.

So, what is this darn push up thing?  Do I try to do as many man push ups as I can in a minute or is there no time limit? 

Is everyone going to try the push up challenge?

I think a bunch of us are going to try it... join us !

Today was my resting day.  I took my boys out for some playtime, then I just chilled. 

I JUST did my initial test for the 100 pushup challenge.  I actually squeaked out 20 REAL pushups!!  My husband witnessed the whole thing!  He told me that "3 years ago I probably couldn't even do 4 pushups".  I take that as a compliment! 

Tomorrow is my BodyJam class (dance) then training with the crazyperson.  I think we're doing back and abs.

SO you are running 4 days a week and  the other 2 are strength training?

Yeah I think that sounds pretty good.... you may find eventually you will be able to increase the run bu more then .5 miles.  which is a GOOD thing!  Jump on the bike if you get bored of runnning or want a little more.

Buddaha1964 - 2009-01-08 8:48 PM Does this plan sound ok? This week I ran/walked a mile on Monday; ran a mile on Wednesday, first day of hundred pushups; Friday I'm planning on running another mile and again on Saturday. Off day/pushups day three on Sunday. Keep those same days scheduled but on either Wednesday or Friday run 1.5 miles. Then add .5 miles to another day the following week and keep this up until I have four days of 1.5 miles. I would then add distance to another day and start the whole thing over again gradually building up my distances. Keep in mind my main goal is to remain injury free, and at my weight I'm prone to them. If this is the wrong way of going about building my distance what would be the right way?

Um yeeaaa will go with that the other two are strength training Any serious biking is going to have to wait until the roads clear, I really can't stand the trainer. I'm hopeing that by the time spring hits I'l be running 4 days 3-5 miles at a time. Then I'll introduce biking to the non run days and at least one of the run days. This'll get me through most of the summer, and hopefully weight, then late in the year I'll get into swimming again. Start training for IMWI '10 and just be an all around studly triathlete

You know to sign up for 2010 you have to be at 2009...... Just sayin'!!!

If you want to be injury free - you need to avoid impact sports - I would say do the biking and swimming until you've lost a bit then you can start pounding the joints.

(But I seem to be a rare breed - I love the swimming!)

Am I the only one that's totally inspired by George's efforts? - go big guy - you're doing a great job!

Joe Runner - 2009-01-09 1:52 PM I did it.  90 minutes on the dreadmill.  Now I am going to con my 2 year old in to lying down with me for a quick nap before the boys get home from school.  My belly is full of Rocky's so I am tired

SWEET great job Terri!

I agree...but I also think running is the quickest way to dropa few pounds.

I cant believe I allowed you swim lovers into this group!!
