I just purchased an new Garmin Forerunner 305 and I was wondering if anyone here could give me detailed instructions on how to upload the data to my training logs here on BT? Like....remedial, detailed, step-by-step, instructions. I'm so technologically challenged.... I use the Garmin Forerunner 305 too for running. I really like it. However, I don't usually upload the data from the watch to BT. I don't like how the data is presented when you upload the information into your training log. Instead, I keep my information in the Garmin Training Center and upload my bike rides to www.garminconnect.com. I still enter my data manually into the training log. For running, I like the auto lap feature. I normally keep it set at 1 mile unless I'm doing shorter intervals. With the auto lap, it will automatically store your information by what ever distance you have chosen. I also like to use the lap pace to keep my consistent. And, as all of you are aware, I use the HR setting. I'll try to find you some concise instructions for uploading. I don't upload to BT either. I load workouts into my home computer with Garmin Training centre. I also have mine set to autolap (km, Canada, eh). Very useful to see how you held pace, where you slowed, responded to elevation, etc. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Good morning. All I have planned today is a light road ride around an hour. Race tomorrow again. This XTERRA starts the season for me. Goal time is 3 hours, but we will see. I'm feeling the ill effects of racing three weeks in a row. I just ache in all kind of wierd places. Thank God I have some time off after this race to nurse the sore spots. |

I'm actually excited. I haven't been able to get a long ride in outside like that yet this year. All the good weekends were taken up by races so far. I'm going to slow both the bike/run down and see how it feels. |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() i think i now understand the 10% rule about increasing distance. my body is actually not recovering as i had hoped it would. this morning my hamstrings and hips were on fire so i spent an hour of stretching\yoga to loosen up this old body. a swim would be nice but i have another month to wait for some pool time. i am also thinking more bike time vs run miles-it will be less impact on my legs. my surgically repaired knee is goo, but my left knee is getting rather painful. |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Product Review: Cycling Bib shorts... Was reading Jordan Rapp's blog on "Specialized" (a good read BTW) & he was saying that a cyclist should have one pair of hig quality cycling shorts. Raved about them, how they make long rides so much more comfortable, etc. Anyway, I decided to buy a higher quality pair this morning & wore them during bike ride this afternoon. Bought a "Gore" bibbed cycling short. Very nice fit & finish. Seamless chamois. Like the bib, no waistband & very comfy in aero. Anyway, I had my doubts about bibbed shorts, I am now a believer! Anyone else got a set?? Edited by GoGoGo 2010-05-07 2:13 PM |

That 10% rule, has definitely stood the test of time. Bike does keep cardio & help running. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() shmeeg - 2010-05-07 10:07 AM On a completely unrelated note, what monthly volume do you recommend for the bike considering im training for a sprint distance? There's no magical number. Just like running, some world class 5k runners run more training miles than most amateur marathoners. This follows the logic that low intensity, high volume will eventually allow you to become faster. I like to treat might cycling very similar to running. That is, strat small, only increase 10 percent per week, and your long ride should always be supported by weekly mileage (long ride never more than 50% of weekly mileage). Start with a distance you feel comfortable with currently. For the sake of an example, lets say 10 miles. So, you could start at 10 miles 2x week, one high intensity workout on the trainer (5 miles), and a weekend long ride of 25 miles. You would then progress weekly at 10 percent allowing for periodization every fourth week. Obviously, these numbers are arbitary, but should give you an idea where to start. Hope that helps. If not, keep asking. |
