50F+ This weekend!

ufff I am so riding LONGGGG!

50 degrees here already. Cannot wait for this meeting to end so I can go home and ride

It was great being able to ride outside here in Jersey!! Looking forward to running outside tomorrow in the nice weather. I'm going to try and find some organized century bike rides in the Spring. Anyone know of any in Central Jersey?

I rode 75 miles today.  Foggy in the morning...but wonderful to be out that long.

How was your Saturday?

Hey Kent and everyone!

Only rode 37 miles here, but that included 4500' of climbing. 2:45 total with good sustained, hard intervals: IF=.90 and TSS=225 for the total ride. A really great ride all around. Crazy to be in the mountains in 65 degree weather here in January - it was pushing the mid 70s in the valleys! Cold is coming though. Ah, well...

Morning all, another week of training in the books. It was a rest week for Boston training, so run mileage was down, and I started swimming again. Feeling good!

Totals:

Swim: 1600 yards

Bike: 2:35

Run 3:42 (25.8mi)

Are you using a special plan for Boston?  I qualified for 2014 and was just wondering what your mileage was like.

In terms of training times this week:

Swim: 1.5 Hours (5100 Meters)

Bike: 3 Hours (58 Miles)

Run: 2.5 Hours (21.22 Miles)

Strength: 2 Hours

Total: 9 

Ill add some data from the week. I also cannot wait for Boston. I live here, did not qualify, but cant wait to watch. It is a lot of fun, probably better to run it rather then watch it.

Swim: 1:52:00 (6200y)

Bike: 3:06:48

Run: 2:18:14 (15.41mi)

Strength: 1:15

Hey all; have been enjoying the relatively balmy weather up here in the NE.  Got both my long run and long bike outdoors, which is pretty incredible for January!  

For the week:

1.5 hours swim

3.0 hours bike

2.5 hours run

Good ride today (1:50 in the drizzle but still 50 deg), with a fair amount of hills (857 climbing), but not overwhelming.  It is still early, but feeling pretty good.  How did everyone else do this week?  Looking forward to the rest day, for sure.

I managed the following to fall asleep twice this week before getting out the door for a workout.  I missed a run and a bike from the Fink competitive plan.  Still, from last Sunday until yesterday, my totals were as follows:

Hope you feel better soon. Yeah, my biggest fear right now is getting sick. I had someone in my office yesterday coughing up their lungs. Thanks for showing up for work - not!

Did 1000m in the pool and 7 mile run. Only took a week to go from zero to 1km, so I am kind of happy.

I wind up doing everything back to back because of time constraints. Does anyone else find it hard to run after you get out of the pool? The first 10 minutes are really bad.

I heard u... This F flu is all over the place

+ today we had snow again so no-biking outside this weekend

On the plus side of thing I am losing weight steadily and training has been consistent!

S: Trying to work on my pull and shoulder strength 

B: Trying not to lose what I gained over Sept-Oct-Nov-Dec

R: Running EZ 3x per week around 1Hr each time

I just started taking a GNC Multivitamin and getting in Vitamin C just to avoid the flu.  I work in a hospital so the flu is kind of hard to avoid.

My bike is definitely my weak link and my running is my strength.  I've decided to take away one of the running days of the fink plan and replace it with a bike ride.  I also bought some Spinervals DVDS (the Kona and the Lake Placid courses) to keep me motivated.  I don't like riding on the roads unless I'm with a group and my cycling group doesn't start up until March so I have about 2 more months of my trainer :-\.  Keep up the strong training everyone! I'm loving training...so far.

Not as hard as it's going to be after riding 112 miles.
