I think the key to marathon training is frequency.  I would do the same number of miles/kilometers over 5 runs per week if you can vs. 4.  Then build the weekly mileage over the 5 runs.  But you are doing great, so keeping on doing what you are doing works too!!!

TriRSquared - 2010-05-26 3:17 PM What's up guys.  Been out of town for a bit and then getting caught back up.  Riding has been going well. Almost back up to the pre-surgery speed (long ride stamina is another issue).

Going out on my first group ride in months.  I'm sure I'll try to hang with the A group and bonk.

Still not sure WHEN to start running.  I've tried a few short ones (100 yards short) and while I have no "pain" in the knee I'm having weird muscle twinges.  I'm guessing this is to be expected but wow is it unnerving.

selonimes - 2010-06-01 12:06 AM Hey guys and gals!  Long time no posting etc.   I just wanted to let everyone know my baby boy arrived this past week.  Finally the fun begins and the waiting is over.  Can't wait to get back into the game, even though the game is going to be a little different.

 

IceManScott - 2010-06-01 7:49 AM Awesome on the baby!  Glad everything is going well.  Have fun.

Awesome on the recovery from the knee. 

I'm still flirting with 22 mph on the 12.5 mile Tuesday time trials.  PR'd last week at 21.95.  Can you believe it?  I had to slow down for a truck on a turn too.  Going to go out again. 

I bought a Wheelbuilder aero cover for the power tap rear wheel and bought a bontrager aero wheel for the front.  The Orbea is riding pretty sweet.  Just needs a bigger motor.

I'm up to 10 miles on my long runs.  19 for the week. 

Tapering this week for my first triathlon of the season, a sprint on Saturday. I need to get intoi an open water swim on Wednesday to get the feel of the wet suit before the race, but other than that all is good.  The run course is same as last year, I rode the new bike course Monday.  It's got grades but relatively flat and should be fast.  A loop so its better and safer than the out and back previously. 

All good.  Have a great week.
 

ryanknapp - 2010-06-01 7:54 AM Hey everyone! Long time no talk. 

So..an update on me.  Been training like a fiend, whenever I can find time and really getting into it.  May 22 I ran a 5k and ran it in 19:46, finishing 11th overall and 1st in my age.  

Saturday I ran Buffalo Half Marathon (deciding the morning before) and ran it comfortably in 1:50:16, happy for my first half marathon ever.

I'm still training hard for my Half Ironman in August. Seeing what the future will hold for me in this sport. My coach seems to think that if I can run a half with moderate effort in 1:50 that I have untapped potential, but we'll see!

Hope all is well with the rest of you. I'm off to Ireland for a week tonight. Going to do some fun runs when I'm over there. That's for sure.  

lbishop - 2010-06-01 6:59 PM Wow! No updates for a while and then a raft of activity. Great news re bub - years of fun to come!

Good to hear training going well for people too! Only 3 weeks to go until my marathon - did a 27k run on Monday and knees are pretty whacked! I'm too old for this stuff! ;-) Only kidding guys, i'm looking forward to it - and i might even put my entry in soon!

Lewis.
