kenj's group - closed with a great bunch of triathletes in training!!! (Page 3)

I'm using a Garmin 305 Edge for my biking and love it. Would really like to step up to the 705 Edge but that's money better served another day.

You'll run into a lot of the lingo stuff especially when you get into some of the training plans.  Don't be afraid to ask!  I promise that I had to!

One of the nice things about the garmin products is the ability to upload them to your workout log on BT.  Since that feature was added I haven't used garmins at all.  Unfortunately, it is a premium feature so you have to be a paying member of BT. 

I dropped a note to those that their only post was to join the group!  Hopefully that will get them into the conversation!!! 

I have 2 that signed up that have their logs private that I need to get them to add the rest of us as friends or make their logs public, and I wil have a list of all our members with links to their page to make it easier to inspire each other!

Speaking of logs, if you aren't already, make sure to use the logs to post your workouts and any comments on how the workout went so the rest of us can give you some feed back!

The most noticable difference is the available training plans.  The bronze plans are more detailed (and there are more of them) than the freebies.  The silver level has more detailed and additional plans from the bronze level.  The only difference from silver to gold is the availability of the coaches to answer training questions on the plans (or any other training issues).  Not like you would get with a personal coach, as you post it in a forum specifically for this purpose and they get answer in a day or 2. 

There are other benefits as well, like downloading from a garmin. 

Like the Iceman said, I first started at Bronze then upgraded to Gold mostly to financially support the site that has given me the motivation to keep the weight off and stick with tri's!!!

You can post the challenges here and the response!  I think challenges are a great way to get people motivated and keep them there! 

I encourage everyone to post all of there workouts in your training log so the rest of us can see it and use the inspire feature to comment and encourage each other!!!

rTanja - 2010-01-01 6:36 AM Happy new year everybody! 
Started the year running Was going to run at least 5k, but ended up running 3k. It is freezing, I thought my legs would turn into ice and fall off my body at some point hehe. But so worth it
Off to making some healthy food for my b-day party
 

Great job!!!

Happy Birthday!!!

Happy New Year everyone!!!!  This is the year you all will start or continue your journey to health and fitness!!!!

Make sure to post your goals for January!!!

I am leaving for Florida this afternoon for the marathon at Disney next weekend!  Until next Wednesday I will be at my inlaws.  I think I have internet access, but it may be spotty so I may only be able to check in once or twice a day.  After Wednesday I will be at Disney so I should have better access, but probably won't be setting near a computer to often.  But be sure to continue to post and I will get back to you before too long. 

I'll go first with January's goal!

My goal is to finish the last week of marathon training as written, run the half marathon relatively slow, and the marathon as fast as my abilities allow me.   Then for the rest of January rest and recover by swimming, biking and running when I want!

I did my New Years workout that Doug challenged us to!!

Rest day from running, so I hit the gym for some strength training!

That is awesome! Great job!!!
