Extreme Veteran  845   |  Subject: RE: TEAM RFP (Relentless Forward Progress) CLOSEDKC, I am impressed that you are already up to 3000 yards in the pool. I don't think I was up to that yardage till 2 months ahead of time. Sounds like you had a great week, and good decision on the treadmill. Hope everyone survives the big snow storm that they are predicting for this week. |

Extreme Veteran 828 North Shore, MA. | Subject: RE: TEAM RFP (Relentless Forward Progress) CLOSED Urgh, I feel your pain. We were expected to get more this evening, too. I think they have backed off on totals though. 2:15 trainer ride last night and I finally made it outside for 1hr run today. 45 mins on the trainer tonight. |

Regular 328 | Subject: RE: TEAM RFP (Relentless Forward Progress) CLOSED Anyone know of a relatively inexpensive rear bottle mount? I am looking to hold two bottles behind me, and the only ones I can find are $50+! Thanks in advance, Todd |

Extreme Veteran 828 North Shore, MA. | Subject: RE: TEAM RFP (Relentless Forward Progress) CLOSED I have the X-Lab mini wing. I thought it was cheap at $50 compared to some of the pricier ones. Amazon has used ones starting at around $41. But they can get crazy expensive. |

Extreme Veteran 828 North Shore, MA. | Subject: RE: TEAM RFP (Relentless Forward Progress) CLOSED Originally posted by krazytallchick Hi Team, I am having an interesting year, one I already do not like. I guess since I am not really racing this year I have gotten relaxed and lack of focus with training. I am now wondering if I am over booking myself thinking since I don't need to train like I use to I will do more work, work.....While before I figured out how to balance it. Then again since I don't have to report back to anyone (coach) I can skip a workout here etc. I do have a 10 mile race coming up in April that I feel like I am training well for that. Then I have an Olympic tri in June and I don't feel ready for that at all. I will have to find a time to get back in that pool. Thank you for letting me rant. Hope everyone has a great weekend, Kathy Kat, you'll be just fine for the Oly. There is still plenty of time and you have a really strong foundation. |

Extreme Veteran 828 North Shore, MA. | Subject: RE: TEAM RFP (Relentless Forward Progress) CLOSED Originally posted by kcgolf Hey Team. Been a busy week - started slow but is finishing decently. Got to pool early for my swim this morning but the life guard decided to sleep in  She showed up 20 minutes late so I did not get all 3000 meters in but I managed to RFP and get 2600 in . Although, it was a tough 2600 - felt lethargic and week but I know why - I started doing some strength training again last night. I have this real cool home gym and promised myself yesterday I was going to get back on it at least twice a week so I set up a quick circuit after my trainer ride - which worked out great - chest, shoulders, lats, triceps, biceps, squats and calf raises followed by some planks. It take me about 20 mins to complete the circuit 3 times so it should work out good if I stay with it that is lol. It may not be much but let me tell you I felt it this morning in that pool I also got my 70 minutes run in on the mill - I would kill right now for an outside run but until this winter moves over for spring, thank god I made the decision to purchase the treadmill this winter. Long trainer ride tomorrow and I will cap off a week that started slow but got better everyday - except if you want to count the 2 trips to the dentist (having some dental issues) which are not fun but that is a story for next week. Stay safe team and thanks to everyone for stopping in to say hello. Lets cross our fingers and say a prayer that the weather will start to change for all of us real soon. KC Glad you're feeling better and getting it done, KC. How is the strength routine going? |

Regular 328 | Subject: RE: TEAM RFP (Relentless Forward Progress) CLOSED 15 k on the dreadmill today..came in just under 70 minutes (7:30 ish). As I think I mentioned before, I have been running using the general principles of Dr. Phil Maffetone. I have seen great dividends! I started out at about 5 miles at 9:15 pace. I do these runs fasted and in mid Zone 3. I hope these dividends carry through to my first HM! Looking forward, Todd |

| 172 Kenmore, Washington | Subject: RE: TEAM RFP (Relentless Forward Progress) CLOSED Originally posted by kcgolf DAN - wow that is fast - nice work. What are you trying to do when you swim that fast? Are you thinking technique? Body position? Breathing? That's fast dude - nice work. KC Originally posted by pnwdan I did get a new PR in the pool. I swam a 100 (y) in 1:27. That's my first time swimming 100y in less than 1:30. Woohoo! Thanks for the kind words. Funny thing is I'm not trying to swim fast or PR. My PRs come when I have a few minutes left in the pool and want to flog myself solid for the last 100. When things come together my body position is on top of the water, I have an aggressive catch, and my pull is strong with high turnover. Breathing takes care of itself thanks to all the wake. |

Extreme Veteran 845 | Subject: RE: TEAM RFP (Relentless Forward Progress) CLOSED Dan that 1:27 100yd swim is awesome! I am guessing your coach has a swim background? Todd sounds like your running is coming together. Now I can spend 2:30 hours on the trainer but not an hour on the dreadmill. As to how I am able, watch either a movie or past World Championship videos. Going to 3 hours is pushing it. Deb, glad to hear you are back at it. |

Master 1790 \Windsor, Ontario | Subject: RE: TEAM RFP (Relentless Forward Progress) CLOSED Hey Team. Made it through the weekend - getting some major work done on the tooth this Thursday but that is ok - should be ok after that. This week is a recovery week for me. I had to miss my swim this morning but got a solid 30 in on the mill this afternoon. Weight train right after I finish this message. Will get to pool tomorrow for some drills. Have a great day everyone. KC |

That may test me a little more. |

Doing trainer road programs and watching what they say really does help pass the time. Then again I have only done 90 minutes on the weekends, and only an hour during the week. I will be suspending my subscription here again soon since I can now know that in just a few weeks I can ride outside. (It is still 30 degrees here and they are forecasting a wintry mix later this week so we still or not done with winter but you can smell spring is in the air) |

Can coaches upload workouts on trainer road for you specifically? Is that part of the basic payment plan? |

Extreme Veteran 828 North Shore, MA. | Subject: RE: TEAM RFP (Relentless Forward Progress) CLOSED Scott, I believe anyone can create a workout on TR. I am just techie challenged, and had no clue how to do it, which is why someone else did. It's a feature of the $10 a month thing. |
