Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I've got my first Tri next Saturday!! So my job this week is to do a teensy bit of training and try to stay a little bit calm and focussed for Saturday! Then I need to get my butt in gear and do some proper training - I can't realistically increase my weekly volume, but I need to spend some time sorting out a proper training schedule so that I can get up to an Oly in July!

Here are my totals for February. Certainly didn't reach my bike goal but passed running and swimming. Glad for that. Onto March goals: |

Think I did ok - certainly beat the crap out of the month before! March - try and maintain the training duration I've managed in the past couple of weeks (illness aside!) and get a plan made up to work towards a possible Oly in July. (and fix my bike trainer computer!)

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Interesting nutrition seminar tonight along with a tri club meeting with our new tri club. I will post a nice 10-point summary of the seminar tomorrow. I don't eat correctly--what a revelation.

![]() No; we're trying to plan our summer and what races/family vacations and such we can pull-off. We've stayed at the Landmark a bunch of times - indoor and outdoor pools for the kiddies. we've stayed in rented houses too....what are you guys thinking of doing? |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() So the house is quiet with a sick one sleeping and a 2yo finally down for a nap. Thought I would start incorporating my HIM plan into my Marathon training. Boy am I gonna be one tired pup. Most of the plans are meshing quite nicely, with short swims after long runs. When it came down to my Marathon race week I didn't put any HIM training in at all. Will one week off be enough to make sure my legs are fresh enough? Or should I make it two? As for recovery, I know I won't be able to walk at least the day after (based on last Saturday's run), should I take that whole week off as well? Start the HIM back up the next week. I will already have put in 11 weeks of the HIM in. I am thinking I should be able to dive back in at week 13 and just take 12 off. Confused yet? Let me know your thoughts. |

Let me know your thoughts. sorta confused.... is this all imported into your logs?? So I can look? I would take at least 2 days completely off after your marathon... I would not run for at LEAST a week. After 2 days maybe add some easy swims and then high cadence low resistance rides. Id wait 2 weeks to add any intensity to anything. Even I do this!!!! |

Even I do this!!!! couldnt disagree more!!! (well at least about the off days from running. two days yes, then EASY runs to get your legs back, nothing hard tho!) and dont forget joerunner, last week was a first for you and it WILL be easier next time, ESPECIALLY if you actually believe in your abilities (which you should!)

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I wouldnt do it. I f;d up my knee bad after my last marathon form running to soon. I ahve actually heard you need 1 day of rest for every mile after a marathon (to recover FULLY)...not sure how much that is true but its something to think about. 1 week of no running is not going to hurt anything.
Do you wanna fight Davey?? |

HR training is a good thing. I honelstly dont do a lot of it...mainly because I have hard time keeping my strap up (no laughing - I do!) I got those zones in the traininig bible- which I loaned to a friend. Does Joe have that? If not Ill call him (not Joe- my friend As for watts.. I dont use them... I dont have a powermeter or CT - unfortunatley |

Expert![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Oh goodness you will need to take a break after a marathon. Yes, I have been told a day for each mile. I know that was how it went for me: in fact the worst tiredness I felt in my legs was after a week and a half or so. Anyway, avoid injury and burnout. BTDT! |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() The Top Ten Ways to Balance Your Blood Sugar:
Use coconut oil instead of olive oil, flax seed oil, etc. Avoid artificial sweetners and poly unsaturated fats at all costs, your body doesn't even recognize what they are. Athletes need to ingest more protein than the average person, um, yeah. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables, another revelation. Don't buy your supplements at Walmart. Don't drink diet soda, a little sugar won't hurt you. Diet sodas trigger you to eat "bad for you" food. She wouldn't even discuss on race day nutrition which I thought was a little odd. Eat gelatin, no not Jello--make it with 100% fruit juice and hydrolyzed gelatin. If you eat gelatin you won't need to supplement with GCM. Gelatin is good for your joints and is highly anti-inflammatory. |

I need my caffine # 7 is big for me esp during IM training.. I wake up SO hungry...but all I want to do is sleep...so then I lay there and thinkabout what I could be eating...... sigh And I KNOW I dont eat enough protien....sigh #2 Thanks Lori! |

I am way confused???? I quite drinking soda, but have a serious latte addiction. I figure since I don't do dairy it is a good way for me to get calcium and protein, I drink soy milk. |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Uh, you won't like my answer on the gelatin. You can google it if you want but let's just say animal body parts? Fruity, tooty regular Jell-O doesn't count. Lots of ways to get protein. Tracy-soy is a really good choice. I eat the low fat string cheese, egg beaters, peanut butter, chicken, turkey, and sometimes steak. I have started eating more fish and will probably add in some egg whites soon. I would like to try some cooking with tofu. Yes, I thought coconut oil was bad for you. The debate is saturated fat versus unsaturated fat. I guess the molecular structure of unsaturated fat changes when you eat it. Your body actually does a better job of utilizing saturated fat (of course, as with anything, moderation) than it does unsaturated fat. I don't eat enough fat so my protein, carb, and fat balance is out of whack. Much of what she said conflicted with my classes from college. Bottom line: eat whole foods and avoid processed food. Eat a nice balance of carbs, protein, and fat. |

I think it's possible to get "vegi" gelatin - but I suspect that is then straying into the hugely processed food/man-made plastic category... Some pharmaceutical firms use the vegi stuff for their soft capsules to avoid vegan militants... (think the squashable cod liver oil caps) |

LOL I was in a plant in northern Illinois a few years back when I found out that one. I spent the next six months looking for it in different packages before I gave it up. ![]() By the way, small amount of whining here, how on earth do you guys find the enregy to keep up your schedules? |
