Ironman Coeur d'Alene : Official Thread (Page 19)

I got in a 55 mile ride on thursday before all the nasty weather hit Seattle!!!  And my long run was 11 this weekend.

Not gonna be so lucky this week!  rain/snow mix here.  I HATE the trainer so unless it's just dangerous, I'll be pushing 60 miles outside this week.  YIKES!!!

Luckily, I am heading to Hawaii for a short 4 night stay next week and looking at doing a 2.4 mile OW swim!!

For all of us freaking out about water temps, i found this to be fascinating and reassuring...to a degree

that makes perfect sense.  thanks for the article. 

OK, I think this is my Feb. totals.  First time I used this graph on Training Peaks.  Distance totals are not accurate on the bike as some of it is spin class or trainer ride but time should be.

Swim:  12 hours 12 minutes....30,700 yards

Bike:  22 hours 98 minutes....283 miles

Run: 12 hours 56 minutes....86.99 miles

Swim: 10600.00 Yd - 3h 13m 14s

Bike: 211.67 Mi - 11h 21m 32s

Run: 63.26 Mi - 8h 35m 43s

How did you pull yours from training peaks?  I am not finding it.  Luckily I upload everything from there to here and got it off of here, but I would like to know.  Thanks.

I took off 5 days in early Feb. for a snowboarding trip.  I didn't keep track of workout time.  Only distances. 

bike:  436.50

run:   78

swim:  19,850

I agree with Scott. I also agree that you should really back off the intensity.  Maybe also focus on low impact workouts like biking and swimming.  You definitely don't need another stress fracture. 

I kinda wish I was going there.  Cold water. Cool air. Hilly roads.

Send me a ticket, and I'll tell you which bar will give you free beer on the night of the race.

Thanks for sharing this info......it does look there are a couple good climbs in there. Glad I live in a place where there are at least a few solid climbs.  Hearing your description of them tells me it's time to step it up a notch or two.

I don't want to discourage you, but I wouldn't want to start training for something knowing that injury was just going to get worse. On the other hand if you feel like it's something that you can push through and will get better with time, I say go for it. The older I get the more I realize you are always going to be dealing with something.

Monthly totals:
S:  18400.00 Yd -
B:  323.40 Mi - 19h 59m
R:  95.80 Mi - 15h 00m 44s

March didn't start great long run yesterday North Carolina turned into South Florida 81 degrees I was not ready for that 12 slow miles.

Thanks ,Yeah that was a problem nor could I remember....Hydrate better

anandiheart - 2012-03-02 8:28 PM I rode 52 miles today with 2500 ft of climbing and I am pooped. It makes me a little worried. It's only my second long ride so I hope it's just that I'm not at that time in my training. I'm really hungry too!

That's a good ride...I wouldn't worry you following a plan? I know next week I have 3-3.5 hour ride that will be my longest to date...a lot of my miles like a lot of us has been trainer.

Where did you climb?
