I find myself losing the will to live if I have to do anymore than 30 minutes on the dreadmill  Yep that cortisone needle was HUGE - went through the front of my thigh and into the joint but as I said didn't hurt. The SI joint injections weren't fun - google it (although they all talk about anaesthetic and I didn't get any of that!) and you will see what I mean A year ago, I liked the treadmill. Now, I can't stand it. What a difference a year makes. LOL Ow ow ow. Just reading about that cortisone shot is... ouch, ouch, ouch!  I hope it helps you! Speaking of running.... Anyone have experience with getting rid of plantar fasciitis (PF)? It's driving me crazy. |

Champion 23360 Taser-World | Subject: RE: IBD Tri group (I'm Better Doing Tri's) Closed My workouts for the week.... Nothing really ambitious... Bike - 2 sessions, stationary bike, at least 20 min per session. Run - 1 session, outside, depending upon the PF. Strength - 1 session, at least 20 min. Stretch - every day, because of the PF, so it'll be for the calf, ankle and foot. But I know I need to really be persistent about doing this! So that gives me 4 days of short workouts, plus stretching every day. As I said, nothing really ambitious, but my problem seems to be that I keep injuring myself. Also, during this month, I want to find out more about the YMCA, since it has a pool. |

| 16 | Subject: RE: IBD Tri group (I'm Better Doing Tri's) Closed Hey all Your workouts look great. Sorry to hear about the Plantar fasciatis. Continue to stretch stretch stretch. I have used a golf ball to roll around on the bottom of my foot. There are also PF stretch type bands you can use that are special made for the foot that you can get at running type stores. Workout plan this week Swimming 3x- 1 fast intervals, 1 endurance intervals, 1 distance bike 3 x- 1 distance, 1 force workout, 1 hills run 3x- 1 distance (5 mile), 1 speed work out, and 1 3 mile strength training. 1 session all in lower zones 1-3 depending on the goal for the workout |

Expert 1152 Palm Bay | Subject: RE: IBD Tri group (I'm Better Doing Tri's) Closed Plan Bike x 3 (30, 25, 25 min), run 3 times (20,30,20 min) and swim at least 1 (400 yds).. Plan actually calls for 3 swims, but I probably will only make 1 trip to the pool. Probably will reset my plan for something less agressive at restart, run doubled from week 1 to week 2. |

Member 64 JMU | Subject: RE: IBD Tri group (I'm Better Doing Tri's) Closed Hey all, great workouts whew! Hey Dee, for PF I've heard of using a can (of anything, soup, green beans, whatever) if a golf or tennis ball is too painful and basically roll on that all day long. I'm doing almost the same for my left hip, I have a foam roller that I roll out on it as much as I can. It hurts, but I know it's good. My workouts for the week Saturday: Long run- 3 miles Sunday: 2 mile EZ Monday: Swim Masters workout (alone) Tuesday: 2 miles run Wednesday: Maybe a workout video or stretching or core (not sure, something easy) Thursday: 3 mile run Friday: Swim Masters workout (alone) Saturday: Long run again 4 miles Sunday: 2.5 miles EZ Already did the run for today (saturday) and i feel good, but I can also feel my leg starting to hurt, so I can't wait to get to my foam roller in a week, and my ITB brace. Today- I ate M&M's and a chewy bar for breakfast... yeah working on that nutrition. Hope everyone is doing well, I'm running a 24 hour shift at the firehouse (I volunteer as an EMT at the local rescue squad) so I'll be off until tomorrow night. Good night! |

Expert 961 Illinois _ Chicago area | Subject: RE: IBD Tri group (I'm Better Doing Tri's) Closed Thanks Joanna! Maita, Sue, Drew, Kemp...haven't heard from you guys. So, had to do a 10 mile run today. at 9:00am the temperature was 0. Yep, ZERO DEGREES, with a -14 wind chill. OK, call me a wimp, but that's just too darn cold to do anything outside, let alone run. Good thing I have a treadmill in the basement, cause getting me out to the club would have taken a lot. With a movie on TV the time went by....slowly. Oh well, got the miles in. I'll check in tomorrow to see how everyone's Monday went. Susie |

Expert 716 | Subject: RE: IBD Tri group (I'm Better Doing Tri's) Closed suzimmer - 2010-01-02 6:35 PM Hi All! Maggie: I had IT band problems and found that rolling on the foam roller daily really helped. In fact, I continue to use it after every run even though things are OK right now. (Hope I didn't just jinx myself by saying that.) I agree 100% with the foam roller. It will help loosen those tight muscles. If you dont have one, Target sells them for $22. Very well could be one of the best pieces of training/recovery equipment out there. Sunday was a 45 min dreadmill workout. Running is my limiter. My PT is working with me to improve it for next season. |

Extreme Veteran 339 | Subject: RE: IBD Tri group (I'm Better Doing Tri's) Closed suzimmer - 2009-12-31 3:27 PM Welcome Mindy and thanks for the bio, I saw on your log that one of the Oly distance you are considering is Chicago. I did that one so I could let you know about it if you sign up. It does fill quickly. Do to your blood disorder so you have to be very careful about getting cut? It sounds like you have had a good start with 2 sprint distances last year. Actually, the first year I did 2 sprints, the second year, 3 sprints, and 2 Olympic, spread over May through the end of August. It worked quite well for me. If you are starting the 16 week Olympic now, what do you have planned for after that? Susie Hi Susie, I don’t think I will be going the Chicago race after all. There is an Oly in Council Bluffs I am planning on doing and since it is so much closer to me I will probably just stick with that one. Besides just thinking about the Chicago race makes me extremely nervous. Yeah, I have to be very careful. Most of the time it’s just bruising, I’m sure people think I get beat sometimes because of all the bruises. :P I was planning on starting the same 16 week Oly plan over once I complete it. Do you think I should start a different plan after this one or stick to the same thing? |

Extreme Veteran 339 | Subject: RE: IBD Tri group (I'm Better Doing Tri's) Closed suzimmer - 2009-12-31 3:41 PM Hi all and HAPPY NEW YEAR! Here is my New Year's Challenge to our group. Starting next Sunday or Monday, I would like everyone to post your week's training schedule. If you don't have a training schedule, look over BT's programs and see if you like one. There are winter maintenance programs that would do nicely for this time of year. If your not quite ready for that level of commitment, perhaps you just need to get into a schedule of doing something 4 to 5 times a week, but not an actual program. That's fine too, but plan it out. Monday - stationary bike for 30 min, or spin class; Tuesday - treadmill for 30 min...you get it. The point is to put it in writing for all of us to see. Make sure you log all you do. At the end of the week let's see how everyone did. Did you follow your plan? How do you feel? If you missed some workouts, what happened. Then post the next week's training and so on and so on. I know that when I set a plan up, have a schedule, I'm much more likely to follow it. As a group. we can cheer each other on or perhaps discuss why a week didn't work out so well. Who's game? Susie I like this plan I will have mine up by the end of the day. |

Extreme Veteran 339 | Subject: RE: IBD Tri group (I'm Better Doing Tri's) Closed Susie I was just wandering if you think I should add in some kind of strength training to my workouts. I haven't really ever done strength besides a few reps of simple curls or crunches with weight. Do you have any suggestions? |
