Expert  1121  |  Subject: RE: kaburns1214 Mentor Group - CLOSEDSo more snow coming today and tomorrow. I think 5-8 for Northeastern CT today, and tomorrow could be all snow, or snow and freezing rain. So Channel 3 last night said, "If we get ALL SNOW, we could get a foot and a half, to 18 inches" All you braniacs out there, is a foot and a half worse than getting 18 inches???????????  |

Pro 4723   CyFair | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 Mentor Group - CLOSED Not sure where everyone is getting this total report. Maybe a paid program deal? Anyway here's mine. Bike: 249.00 Mi - 14h 25m 58s Pace: 18.90 mile/hr Run: 59.17 Mi - 8h 28m 57s Pace: 08m 36s /Mi Swim:1050.00 M - 20m 07s Pace: 01m 55s /100M Swim volume is shameful. Grilledmonkey - 2011-02-01 3:02 AM I need some lateral thinking assistance! One of my strength exercises from the maintenance plan im on is a leg press, however the gym at my work doesnt have a leg press, so any ideas on how i could do this? A friend suggested squats but it really doesnt give you the same level of resistence. What kind of equipment do you have access to? Barbell squats are great because they engage the core more and your stabilizers in your legs. If all you have are dumbbells go single leg squats. I'm actually not a huge leg press fan because your upper body is stabilized and you don't have to engage your core or the stabilizers in your hips for the most part. Also don't buy into the hype that going below parallel on squats is bad for your knees. So I'm supposed to have a 45 plus mile ride on Saturday. It starts at 7:30 AM and should be just above freezing. Supposed to have sleet and snow Friday. Should be fun. Thermos of coffee in one of the bottle holders?? |

Extreme Veteran 745 | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 Mentor Group - CLOSED Put the screwshoes on and went out for an easy 6 miler. I love running in the snow and when it is snowing. It is very peaceful. Screwshoes worked like a charm and I had no incidents. Now I'm waiting out this storm and wondering if, when and where I will actually end up stranded. And you people are embarrasing me with you workout numbers. ouch. |

And you people are embarrasing me with you workout numbers. ouch. Don't let it embarass you. I originally thought the same thing. Let it be motivation. Although my numbers are not even close to Kelly's, I do know beng on this site and part of this Mentor Group motivates me and makes me workout, because I know I have to post my results here. I am now at the point of getting irritated on an off day. I feel like I need to do something. |

One of my strength exercises from the maintenance plan im on is a leg press, however the gym at my work doesnt have a leg press, so any ideas on how i could do this? A friend suggested squats but it really doesnt give you the same level of resistence. leg presses are a total waste of time for endurance athletes. squats, lunges, thrusters and power cleans. you want dynamic action. even in football we really did leg presses, they are more for body builders or if you have a seriosu back problem and can squat (even i squat and i have a herniated disc, just body weight, on a bosu ball, sometime 1 leg - try t and tell me you need weight  ) my suggestion is to do a super set of walking lunges, pushups, squats. go for time, and start with body weight 3x 30" with 30" rest between sets. check back with me if you need more torture than that Edit: the reason why leg presses "dont give the same resistance" is that your core is stablized and you dont have to lift your torso. so even if you put 225 on the squat rack and that is your max, you can LP 500 because you dont have to stablize and you are discounting the weight of your upper body. squats, deads, lunges and power cleans are the key to any good lower body workout plan. hamstring curls, leg extensions, calf raises, etc. are all tertiary exercises at best. Edit #2: kelly will probably remind me that lifting doesn't matter as it doesn't make you faster, which is true. except pull ups, pull ups are cool. Edited by jsklarz 2011-02-01 9:47 AM |

I can now do 26 consecutive reverse grip pull ups, and that's coming all the way down, no cheating. Not bragging, just proud of that!! |

If you really wanted to get crazy go power clean and jerk/press, lunges, push ups, squats. Hits the whole body in one circuit. Also "could" enhance endurance abilities if you keep the rest to a minimum. Very crossfitish, but effective. Very true about being able to press 3x the amount of your squat. Pull ups are kool from a dead hang. Not kipping. |

I use a custom blend endurance formula with about 250 claories per serving, no protein and about 500 mg of sodium. That being said, all of the pre-set swim/bike/run formulas work really well. |

I work on feel on anything over an hour and a half. Probably would take a endurance drink w/ minimal cals but would have a gu or bar on hand just in case I felt I needed it. |

Extreme Veteran 585 Price, UT | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 Mentor Group - CLOSED I was riding on the trainer today and was hoping to get more than an hour in, but at about 55 minutes my left quad tightned up and I rode about six more minutes and then bagged it. Never had that happen before. Any ideas? My bike fit has been checked. I am still getting used to clipless-would that affect my quads? |

I consume calories on anything longer than an hour. You body can only store 90 minutes worth of CHO so it needs to be supplemented. Calories while training (as long as they're reasonable) are essentially "free" because your body burns them right away. I usually go for about 250 calorie/hour on the bike and 150 calories/hour on the run (because my body can't process as many when running). |

I remember when I moved to clipless that I thought it shifted where I "felt" riding in my legs. It could be hydration or a myriad of other things, but maybe. |

Just curious... sometimes yes, sometimes no. if i am doing an aerobic workout, not likely, i have plenty of fat to burn, if i am doing hard intervals at the end, i may have something. usually these rides happen for me very early AM, so i will usually have a cereal bar or banana or something similar before and have another on hand. I hate the feeling of an empty stomach while exercising. |
