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?

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.

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'!!!

The filter at work stopped this reply earlier. I thought the sign up at the race was for finishers only, everyone else has to wait until the next morning. Correct me if I'm wrong. The 12th was the day I was going to have a big party so if I can sign up on the 13th I may have the party the weekend before. Of course all my tri friends would be invited to that as well.

Well participants can sign up on Sat the 12th...everyone else waits in like the morning after - the 14th.  I do believe it made it to online registration though- although  not for long.  Best bet is to be in line early Monday morning.  So Id say go and watch the race- its awesome.  I believe volunteers have early dibs at signup on Saturday too, if you want to that route.

I dont know- maybe your body is in shock    kidding.  I dont know- Id just keep it loose and see if it happens again.

Hey Everyone!

I am hoping this magically works. I have been able to read the forum, but not reply. We are on our last day in Costa Rica. I am excited to get home and  back to the training. I have been missing it a lot, along with my doggies and kitties. 

My hip is feeling much better. I plan on running on Tuesday. I hope I am not very sore. I have only been off for 10 days. I don't want to have to break myself in again. I am going to take is slow my first week back then hit the training hard!

Can't wait!

Ha! Don't fall! There have been some threads on BT about people crashing - on their trainer.

 just wondering if you log your eating.  If it helps you- put it in your blog- lots of people do.  Maybe we can help you there too.

Hows the leg post run?

mtntrainer - 2009-01-10 10:51 AM I did a LT Test today for my run on the treadmill, here are my results Run 2009-01-10 HR/Pace label Range data label Cumulative Time in zone 1 - Recovery 114 - 146 2 - Extensive Endurance 147 - 156 3 - Intensive Endurance 157 - 164 4 - Sub-Threshold 165 - 171 5a - SuperThreshold 172 - 175 5b - Anaerobic Endurance 177 - 181 5c - Power 182 - 190 Comments about this HR Zone: LT tes on Treadmill 10 min warm up 25 min TT with last 20 min recorded for avg HR. My avg HR was 14 beats higher than my last test so I am super stoked. (that is good right?) It was very energizing! I feel great, may "hit" the trainer today when the girls go down for nap but I have lots of stuff to do for our new website! (for the bike park) so excited about that! So if not today, than tommorrow for sure. Tammy, I see you calculating pace times for others, can you do that with my LT tes or would you need to know the exact distance? The distance that I recorded was for the whole test including warm up and cool down. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Corinna-

Nice job with the test

I go those paces form a recent 5K or 10K.... have you done one recently we can use?

The whole HR thing is kind of confusing sometimes.... yes you want to be able to work at a high LT but you really want to be able to run faster at a lower HR.  As  you train your resting HR will go down.... as well as your running HR.  For example right now you may run 4 miles with an ave HR of 161 (just an example #) in 6 months from now with proper training you should eb able to run 4 miles with alower HR maybe 158 AT THE SAME PACE.  You will also probaly be able to run more then 4 miles with the 161 HR. 

Know what I am trying to say???

I have been wondering where you have been!!!!!!

sounds awesome- I am totally jealous
