Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Do you all follow a plan in the off season? Or do you do your own thing? My plans are changing due to the nature of this damn injury. I can do walk/jog intervals, but I can't go very fast without feeling a lot of pain. I had intended on starting Hal Higdon's advanced half marathon plan in mid-Feb., but that's not going to happen because I've lost my running base. I'm not even sure I'm going to do the half marathon now. I had also planned on building a decent bike base while training for the HM. Not quite sure what to do right now. I have PT once a week. I've been putting in some decent time on the bike - all interval type stuff. I've gotten some long swims in over the last couple weeks, too, and I've focused on upper body and core strengthening. Any advice on where to go from here? I like to have a plan ![]() |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Can anyone recommend a good site that will explain the use of heart rates and training? How to determine what HR ranges should be and how to change your training based on HR? Thanks! |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() That's awesome . . . the pain with foam rolling will go away soon. That is when you know you are doing better. Also, ice, ice, ice that area!!!! |

How to determine what HR ranges should be and how to change your training based on HR? Thanks! This is a good article on setting your HR zones: http://www.trainingbible.com/joesblog/2009/03/heart-rate-and-training.html Here's a BT thread on the topic with links: http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=239459&posts=10&start=1 Once you set your zones all of the BT plans use HR zones for training. Generally when people first use HR for training they think that they're not going "hard enough." In reality, they were going "too hard" before. |

Any advice on where to go from here? I like to have a plan ![]() Especially with an injury, you may want to think about talking to a coach because then your plan can be tailored to deal with your injury (for example with running injuries the general injury protocol my coach follows is to take the take the running time and use half of it for additional biking and half of it for water running). Some coaches are total shams but there are lots of reasonable priced good coaches out there and most of them will write a personal plan for you for just a one time cost. If you're interested I could give you a few recommendations. |

Any advice on where to go from here? I like to have a plan ![]() I have to have a plan otherwise nothing gets done. I'm training for a May Marathon, April mini-sprint, June Oly (I think) and a September Oly. I can tell that I need a better plan for the April mini-sprint because I'm doing 0 swimming. You seem to be doing OK. Pick you weakest sport and beat them up. Keep doing them until you enjoy them. I'd be careful doing too many intervals on the bike, but I don't think you can overtrain in the pool. If you need some focus, pick a few races 1, 2 and/or 3 months out and start a plan. |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Thanks you all for the feedback. I guess I like to have a focus for my training (not necessarily a plan from the site or anything). Thanks for taking a peek at my logs, too. Until this injury is properly healed, I'm just going to do what I can. Up early for a bike......I am NOT a morning person. We have to prime our the walls in our bathroom & the trim in our bedroom once we get the kids down for the night. We're putting our house up in March, so we have a lot of late evenings ahead of us. I'm going to have to get used to doing some of my training in the early morning hours. It's just so hard to wake up without my coffee. |

![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Got up extra earlier to try swim but as luck would have it I got about 600 yrds in and the life guard pulled us out of the water for lighting. |

Pro ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Lifted, slow run to test knee, spin bike for 45 minutes @ 90-105 rpm. No pain, YAY. The foam rolling really is working and is starting to get a little less painful. I spend much more time on my left leg than my right currently and I can tell from touch the difference it's making. I need to make sure I spend even time on each leg so I don't have an imbalance of any nature. Also registered for a 48 mile training ride for the MS 150 yesterday. If I want to have a conversation buddy I may have to go out in the 15 mph group with my friend who's also riding. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() These probably would've been a good idea after my 1/2 mary in November. Tip for others: DO NOT take a jacuzzi after a long race!!! Felt great until all the cramping set in. Then of course afterward I read you should ice or take and ice/cold bath after a race like that. Live and learn right . . . |

No but it sounds like a good idea. I may by the end of the week. We do. We have several of the athletic type ice packs with the fleece wrappers around them that live in our freezer. Shaun refers to them as my "ice wubbies." |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I have a little space in the freezer, too. My husband had a hip replacement this past Sept., so he needed lots of ice packs (he's only 40, btw ![]() Perhaps it's only because I've only started putting in some decent time on the bike, but I'm noticing that it's downright painful to sit on that bike for a long time. Think that means I need a different saddle? Or will my rear adjust to it? Edited by jarvy01 2011-01-26 2:42 PM |

Think that means I need a different saddle? Or will my rear adjust to it? Could be either honestly. I personally would hold out and see if it gets better before dropping $100+ for a good saddle. I'm cheap like that though. |
