Master 1779 | Subject: RE: Slornow and Wannabefaster's Winter Group version 3-CLOSED Randy, you need to drink the Kool-aid and join the club. I'll take you up on the Milwaukee drink, Gotta get myself qualified before it sells out. That's what I get for being out all last season. |

| Member 142 , Georgia | Subject: RE: Slornow and Wannabefaster's Winter Group version 3-CLOSED Sorry Erica, I should've updated at some point. I canned the half marathon and will probably be replacing it with a 5k; the plan I was on was accelerating faster than my body could adapt. I suspect that it was a big factor in the PF issues I was having. The plan's been replaced by the 7 month plan on this site. Right now, I'm reduced down to a 5k around August and a sprint in September. I think it's better to keep it easy and get into shape injury-free before I turn on the afterburners. I'll save 2015 for my breakout year.  |

Randy, I've no idea what your races are (distance/month) but they sound impressive as hell. Just sayin'...

Oops...looking at the other posts, I guess only I can edit it. Just let me know if you need changes and I'll try to get them into the original post. Off for a bike ride now! Have a good night! |

Master 2177 | Subject: RE: Slornow and Wannabefaster's Winter Group version 3-CLOSED Wow, Erika, that's awesome! I can't even properly log my training workouts. Thank you for laying it out for us. Yes, I am doing the Xterra Guam on March 29th, and then a full marathon April 13th. I haven't been able to get in the water at all this month. Just had not had enough daylight for swimming while my son's been training for and playing school soccer. This was the last week for it, so hopefully today and Saturday I can get swims in. |

Extreme Veteran 990 Collierville, Tennessee | Subject: RE: Slornow and Wannabefaster's Winter Group version 3-CLOSED Just got finished with an hour on the trainer; I used TrainerRoad, which is an awesome, and cheap, resource if anyone out there wants a great bike workout library that also gives virtual power. I love it; it makes riding inside semi-tolerable. Here's a link if anyone would like to see what you get: http://www.trainerroad.com/cycling/rides/625550-Geiger |

Erika-thanks! USAT Age Nationals is mid August in Milwaukee. AG World Championships are in Edmonton Canada in late August. Lots of racing before then but those are the biggies for this year! |

| 121 Grand Rapids, Michigan | Subject: RE: Slornow and Wannabefaster's Winter Group version 3-CLOSED Erika- Thanks a ton for the one stop resource. I often find myself looking back through previous pages to find the info you included. My main race for this year at this point is the MiTi 70.3 in August. Thanks again for the resource! Chris |

Master 3205 ann arbor, michigan | Subject: RE: Slornow and Wannabefaster's Winter Group version 3-CLOSED Erika, Let me echo everyone else's awe in the spreadsheet for our group. Nice work. I did a 5 minute Trial on the trainer tonight and got 289 watts average. Best I have done in a long time so I am happy tht my legs seem to be coming around. My 2014 is going to be my most ambitious season yet. Lots of racing. Three confirmed, maybe four, and possibly even five HIM races with some shorter stuff thrown in throughout the summer. Everything should culminate in November at IMAZ where the goal will be to break ten hours. There is some pretty serious work to be put in to achieve that. It is a stretch but I like ambitious goals. No matter how the year goes it is always my goal to have fun and to improve. Sometimes it is good to remember that it is a hobby, not a job |

Master 3205 ann arbor, michigan | Subject: RE: Slornow and Wannabefaster's Winter Group version 3-CLOSED Erika, I may have missed it, but do you have a diagnoss for why you have knee pain? Has anyone looked at your running form to see if there is anything you can change? I have no ACL or medial meniscus in my right knee. I had given up running completely at one point to preserve my knees and then one day I read about chi running. It made sense to me that this running style would be much easier on ones knees. It took me at least six months to make chi (or pose or natural) running my running style but it was worth it. My knees used to ache after runs but since my personal switch I have basically had zero knee issues. This is with greater than 1,000 miles per year for the last 4-5 years. It might be worth talking to someone about. I believe that it has worked for me. There are some really strong opinions out there regarding changing ones running style. I probably would not have undertaken the change if I didn't have my pre existing issues but I am definitely a believer. |

Regular 165 Morgan Hill, CA | Subject: RE: Slornow and Wannabefaster's Winter Group version 3-CLOSED Wow, I've been too busy working, working out, and sleeping lately -- lots of catching up to do! Here's the link I opened: Jamie, a really cool thing about TrainerRoad is that you can also create custom workouts. I use that feature a lot. I hope training -- and life -- is going well for everybody! |

Master 3058 South Alabama | Subject: RE: Slornow and Wannabefaster's Winter Group version 3-CLOSED Good morning everyone! I had a message from a gentleman that wanted to join our group. We are a little toward the high end of the number we like to see but as things settle and we lose a few people I thought one more member would be fine. Hope that is OK with everyone. We have a really consistent, active group this time and I am really enjoying the discussions. Work eases up just a little for me today. Plan to swim at lunch. I think it will be my longest single swim session to date at 4000 yards. Seems like alot for a short course guy like me but given my limited running lately I guess its part of my swim focus. I'll see how it goes. Have a good day everyone. |

My husband's picture keeps popping up locally in stuff like that too! Hit the treadmill this am. I did a heart rate test yesterday and determined my zone 2 is 124-126. um, it's hard to keep it that low while running! That is all for now! Have a good day! |

For $10/month they do an absolutely amazing job at making indoor riding more interesting with the pretty much unlimited library of rides and the virtual power metric. Jamie, are you doing the Tour of Sufferlandria at the end of the month? I did it last year and it is brutal. 9 straight days I believe of Sufferfest rides, anywhere from 45 minutes to 1:30. I completed it last year and they keep track of everyone's rides and anyone who drops out and such. |
