Veteran  555  |  Subject: RE: What was the best single piece of advice you ever got- Who was it from"Make the hard days hard and the easy days easy" -- Gordo, I think I read it in Going Long, on the importance of recovery and Z2 workouts "slow is smooth and smooth is fast" -- read it on BT, in reference to smoothing out the swim stroke to be more efficient, rather than trying to go faster by applying more power "to do well in a marathon, you've got to learn to run slow" -- Bob Moffitt, 70+ year old marathoner, who mentored me when I was a fast 5K'er who'd never run beyond 7 miles at once "you've never really gotten your a$$ kicked, have you?" -- Rod Woodard, my training buddy acknowledging me for being persistent in racing and ambitious in setting goals way over my head "if you're getting dropped, pedal harder" -- bike racer, on our group training ride, who also said "stop looking at your HR, you can ride A LOT harder, A LOT longer, than your LT" |

Expert 2180 Boise, Idaho | Subject: RE: What was the best single piece of advice you ever got- Who was it from 1) Breath IN when your head is OUT of the water-breath OUT when your head is IN the water. 2) Make a decision and do your best to see it through. In a crisis, people die from a lack of direction. |

Master 2665 The Whites, New Hampshire | Subject: RE: What was the best single piece of advice you ever got- Who was it from Tri-related: "THE ONLY WAY TO GET BETTER AT CLIMBING HILLS IS....... CLIMBING HILLS" ChrisM And to paraphrase what he said, it applies to so much more than running and biking on inclines. |

Extreme Veteran 574 Crossville, TN | Subject: RE: What was the best single piece of advice you ever got- Who was it from I read in a running book to breath correctly...letting your belly out when you breath in. That is the best running advice I have ever gotten. I was breathing just the opposite and would get side aches. I have never had a side ache since. I read an article on BT about bending your elbow on the swim pull and push your body through the water instead of straight elbow pull which tries to push your body up out of the water. Learn to spin circles on the bike keeping your cadance high. My riding partner a few years back. Can't never did do anything...my mom. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Paul |

Expert 868 | Subject: RE: What was the best single piece of advice you ever got- Who was it from When done biking, try to get a run in, even if it's just a quarter mile. This has helped me greatly in making transition. |

| Expert 1099 Broadlands | Subject: RE: What was the best single piece of advice you ever got- Who was it from Keep your head down, work hard and most importantly keep smiling, that way, no matter what they throw at you, you'll come out the other end having won. - My dad The "they" in this was the british military as I went off to start my training. he was right, I had a ball through my entire time in the military, worked hard, played hard and smiled the whole time. Now I take this thought in to everything I do, work, family, training and life in general. |

Extreme Veteran 417 Davidson | Subject: RE: What was the best single piece of advice you ever got- Who was it from I repeat this to myself starting from the swim start, 'RELAX, and go fast'. Simple and to the point. Keeps me from overcooking until I get to the last leg of the run when I switch to 'Time to GO NOW!' |

Champion 10471 Dallas, TX | Subject: RE: What was the best single piece of advice you ever got- Who was it from AtlantaBill - 2009-08-06 10:06 PM "if you're getting dropped, pedal harder" -- bike racer, on our group training ride, who also said "stop looking at your HR, you can ride A LOT harder, A LOT longer, than your LT" Good advice right there! I know many will argue, but I think some people hold themselves back from pushing to the nevel level because of "I can't let my HR get so high". |
