Expert  1255    Philadelphia, Pennsylvania |  Subject: RE: Consistency Equals Success - CLOSEDOriginally posted by Sillygal Speed work runday! 2 mile warm up followed by 4 at tempo. So I tried out Jackie's suggestion to start out slower and increase. I just wasn't sure what I could hold and I wanted to practice going a little faster for each mile. So I did 1 mile at 9:50, 1 at 9:40, and 1 at 9:30 and 1 at 9 finishing at 8:45 for the last little bit just because I could. I heard Dennis post, start uncomfortable and stay there like a mantra over and over in my head. It was uncomfortable for me but I also set a new Beth Land Treadmill record! Thanks guys! That is so awesome! I love it when I can make a suggestion and someone really takes it and benefits from it. Made my day. |

Expert 1255 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania | Subject: RE: Consistency Equals Success - CLOSED Arm position change: My arms were straight so I was pulling like this "I" instead of "--". I bent my arms more. Good news: I finally got to personally meet Brandon Grover who was in this forum a couple of seasons ago. Bad news: My contract in Tallahassee is ending in 30 days. So, I'm looking for my next consulting gig. If anyone knows of anyone that needs a great business analyst or project manager with technical skills, let me know. Prefer FL or TX, but open to other locations for the right opportunity (especially Australia and Guatemala). Swimming again today.

I'm looking forward to the first workout tomorrow! Time to HTFU!!!! There is no pacing here it is hold on to the bull for whole ride and hope you don't get thrown off. Expect some days where you will ask yourself why and how and will be pleasantly surprised while on other days you will be cold cocked. Stages 4,6, 9 will be beastly - #8 will bring it to whole new level. Resist the temptation to dial down intensity/FTP (but it may be necessary in the later stages). |

| 35 Madison, Wisconsin | Subject: RE: Consistency Equals Success - CLOSED Santa for the win! Enjoy the bike!! Today was an easy day for me... hit the pavement for a 50 minute run, covering a bit over 6 miles. Chaperoning a retreat this weekend for a group of high schoolers -- taking my running shoes in the off chance that I can sneak away for a quick run. The weather should be perfect for it, and I hate to miss out on a 40-degree day in January!

The bike is my first love, especially since I'm not running for now. I set up a couple of spectators for my tour...did you catch them in the photo? |

Veteran 1900 Southampton, Ontario | Subject: RE: Consistency Equals Success - CLOSED P2 is indeed a very nice bike. I have a lowly P1 but do know that I ride it nowhere near its limits. I do like my basement but being able to go outside for a ride would be kind of nice. Of course I am 20min from the ski hill so there is also that too. I guess I am happy where I am. |
