Master  2484    St. Louis |  Subject: RE: nevergivin's group (Closed)For me it's about a minute per mile difference for the same level of effort (being able to hold a conversation while I run). I think my stride is shorter on the treadmill. |

| Veteran 220 | Subject: RE: nevergivin's group (Closed) I want to say I run faster on the treadmill, but I've not went outside for a while. Ive set my PR's in the 1,2,3 mi distances in the past month on the treadmill. BUT i really just started running this year, so getting faster with more time should happen. I know for me, being able to set the pace on the treadmill is easy. Fall off the pace, Fall off the machine. Now im excited to go outside and see if I can go faster. |

| kelowna | Subject: RE: treadmill speed ransick - 2009-12-15 8:50 PM So when I run on a treadmill my speed is a lot slower for the same effort. Everyone else have similar results? I think my gait is shorter. being a newbie to running... I couldn't actually figure this out, the very first time I went running (I use this term loosely right now) it was outside, the short sprints I was doing were much faster then on the treadmill. Cold and Snow outside now so I am only on the treadmill. But I have been able to improve other aspects of my running, even if I am not going as fast. I am definitely looking forward to the spring and going outside. Question: What are the thoughts on "running" on the elliptical to protect knees and ankle/feet? Is this beneficial? or a good substitute while building endurance? |

Is this beneficial? or a good substitute while building endurance? My view is that anything that gets me moving and burns calories instead of sitting on the couch taking them in is a good thing. I haven't used an ellipical, but my friends that have, lost more weight than me in a shorter time. I think it is very helpful for cardio endurance. I suspect there are differences in muscle endurance (using slightly different muscles), so there needs to be a muscle build up period prior to running long distance.

Extreme Veteran 887 Lake Placid, NY | Subject: RE: nevergivin's group (Closed) What do you like to do besides run, bike, and swim? I teach and practice Karate twice a week. I also love watching football, Sci-Fi movies, and good beer. Biggest triathlon fears? Getting on my bike quickly without falling off and of course swimming in a crowd. (One benefit of being so slow in the swim is at least I'm not in the middle of the throng of people.) OWS in and of itself doesn't bother me. In fact, I prefer it to the pool. |

Regular 110 Southern Ontario | Subject: RE: nevergivin's group (Closed) Question: Should I go ahead and register for my first ever sprint race now or wait and see how this training thing works out? I'm thinking both ways right now...Register now and that will be motivation for getting in shape - or - wait and see if I can even do this thing before registering and being a no-show. |

| Veteran 220 | Subject: RE: nevergivin's group (Closed) Question: Should I go ahead and register for my first ever sprint race now or wait and see how this training thing works out? I know I went ahead and signed up for my first one, telling my self there is no excuse to not be ready. Somedays training is a little slow(last night) and makes me second guess, but told to many ppl im going to do it, to back out. |

I'm thinking both ways right now...Register now and that will be motivation for getting in shape - or - wait and see if I can even do this thing before registering and being a no-show. I myself need to bite the bullet and register way early for a race and then train. Otherwise, I won't do it. But that's just how I roll. That's what I did with Tinman (a HIM) coming up in June. |

Expert 829 | Subject: RE: nevergivin's group (Closed) my pool was still closed today. Now the semester is over, and I won't have pool access until January 25th. Bummer! I'm a little worried about how I'm going to get any training done in the next week or two (today is the last full day of school for the kids). We have three Christmas's (my dad, my mom, and the in-laws) as well as a few days with my mom and my sister's family up in the snow. I may have to log some snow sledding in my training log.  |

Sometimes a little motivational pressure is just what you (well, me anyway) need. You CAN do it. |

Signing up for your first race is motivating, or overwhelming depending on your position. I say either way you should be ok, waiting might give you more confidence. When registering just give yourself enough time to prepare , pick a reputable race, and pick a race that plays to your strengths and weaknesses(looking at the course,hills,heat, cold water,etc). |

Is this beneficial? or a good substitute while building endurance? Look at using the Elliptical as cross training, it does not fire the same muscles as running, it mimics cross country skiing. It is a good cross training exercise for cycling. I would use it as a substitute if you are injured or need variety. |

Thats the best part of the group is when people start to race and hear about how much they have changed! I always try to get people amped during races, why not, Its not like Im making money doing this! Bike racing is a whole different world, if someone bites it and takes others out of the race, you will see nothing but fist pumping and cheering within the pack! |

| Modesto, California | Subject: RE: nevergivin's group (Closed) Here is some of my secrets to triathlon topics we will be discussing , feel free to add any as we are all part of the group. I will write a thread and post it Sunday nights so we all have a chance to read over it and toss it around during the week. I will lay it out in order so that everyone can take advantage of it during the next couple of months and save the strategy and racing for later. Edited by nevergivin 2009-12-16 5:50 PM |

| Modesto, California | Subject: RE: nevergivin's group (Closed) I wanted to make sure everyone is familiar with the monthly challenges that BT has. Typically at the beginning of each month the forums get involved in challenges for different events such as swimming,biking,running,weight loss,strength training,etc. I have been involved in a ton of these and they are great to get to know others with similiar goals. Some challenges will run for extended periods like Jorges winter cycling challenge: http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=186131&start=1 even though this challenge started a few months ago you can still pick up the workouts and do it on your own. With challenges that have already started most will still give you an opportunity to get in, I try to check often because the start often. Here is a weight loss challenge I just finished: http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=181672&start=1 this is a typical team or event challenge where you get in and they assign teams base on groups or events: http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=189130&start=1 This one is about staying consistent with training getting pink days on your calander: http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=185626&start=1 I highly recommend getting involved in these, they are a ton of fun and motivation! Here is the guideline thread: http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=105874&posts=8&start=1 |

Member 36 | Subject: RE: nevergivin's group (Closed) Since all my workouts are indoors for now, I like to listen to music will cycling. I found this site: http://motiontraxx.com/ really helps. The podcasts are free with registration (I just made up my info) . My favorites are episode 4 (140 BPM), episode 18 (interval workout for cardio machines) and episode 7 (130 BPM for longer workouts). |

Expert 829 | Subject: RE: nevergivin's group (Closed) The back of my left knee was super sore at the beginning of today's run (after a long run yesterday). This got me thinking about stretching. I typically do some static stretching after my runs, but nothing before. I walk for about 3-5 minutes to warm up, then go right into my run. After the run I walk another 3-5 minutes, then stretch my quads, hamstrings and calf muscles. |

I'm not an expert but I stretch before. I have an IT band issue on one knee and stretching helps. I don't stretch after running but I know I should. |

After the run I walk another 3-5 minutes, then stretch my quads, hamstrings and calf muscles. Consistency, not so much to stretch the muscle but I try to increase my range of motion. I got injured last year this time from lack of warmup and lack of stretching. Do a good warmup, maybe include some stairs, running in place, etc. |
