zipp1 - 2008-06-01 8:43 PM Hmmmm, maybe I'll just put coach Troy's aero base builder on tomorrow evening so I'm not fighting dark roads on either end.  It puts me at 2 hrs for the ride and in safety.  Just have to be well organized.  I have a nasty headache and could use some sleep.  Getting used to 2 a days is harder than I thought it would be.  Maybe it's cause they're also longer 2 a days than I'm used to doing.

Always go for safety first. No workout is worth dying 2 hours on the drainer is like monumental. I'd still go with 1:15. I can pm you a hideous ladder workout that is that long if you'd like.

Sure.  I've done ladders in the pool and Coach T has some on aero base builder. It's basically just hard x minutes, rest then adding a minute to each set until going back down...right?

I saw an article recently that I think Aaron posted in the Iron Distance forum.  It basically said that they didn't think there was a difference in splitting the workouts if you had to.  Let me see if I can find it.

How the heck did it triple post when I only clicked one time??

You're just that talented.   

I think my post count shows that I am definitely NOT talented. Anyone have a ladder workout for posting?

But you're still way ahead of me

Hmmm..it's not in the thread I thought it was.  Not sure where I saw that. 

That sounds about right.  I've had a lot of pain in the upper thigh that I thought was glutes.  It's hurting on the outside of the knee and hurts most when I bend it.

I'm using my stick and started doing some of the stretches on the Running Times website.  It actually feels like it's helping, so I'm guessing that's the problem.   

OMG, I think I hurt just reading it!  Ought to be an interesting set!  I have the bike on the trainer in my garage in case I'm up for the challenge tomorrow morning. It took me a few minutes reading it to figure out that the 90-100, 90  or just 100 + all referred to cadence.  Yeah, fatigue is nasty stuff.

Night night Beth and Kristen (if you haven't left already) I'm headed to bed, too.

Goodnight Pam!  

Not really.  It hurts when the knee bends, especially up stairs.  But, when I'm sitting or standing and not moving the knee, it feels fine. 

barqhead - 2008-06-01 9:43 PM You may want to back off on whatever sport is causing it the most aggravation to let it heal. (I plan on doing this AFTER Mooseman ). Also, if you can see a massage therapist, that feels great and helps relax those tight hips and glutes.

Backing off of biking shouldn't be hard.  My training plan is much lower than what I've been doing over the last month.

Yeah, the massage therapist on the bike ride did something to release some of the tension in the glutes and it felt great after that.  I have her card so I might have to start seeing her.
