Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() kidtri33 - 2013-01-14 10:54 AM Hey everyone! Seems everyone had a good weekend. Those that are still healing hope you geel better soon. Busy weekend for me. Went down to NC to see the in-laws and Grand parents who came down from Michigan. Got in a 2hr z1/z2 brick on the new saddle. Sunday was a rest day and today I had 1hr zr ride with one-legged-pedaling (OLP). Very interesting to feel how unsmooth your pedaling is. Just need to setup a refit now based on the new saddle. I was a little uncomfortable during the rides this weekend but felt a little better today. Jen, congrats on the new trainer! I am jealous! Did you get a good deal? What's the new saddle? |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() No training yesterday for me. Yesterday my non profit group sponsored and hosted a youth footbal clinic for 130 kids, with local high school coaches and players helping out. It was held indoors. My group was responsible for fitness and nutrition (that's a big part of my non profit). We put together a football related obstacle course. I'll say this, it was tough. I think the 5-7 year olds went though it 4-5 each. the 11-15 year olds went through it twice, and were spent. Those little guys have so much energy. Hit the gym this afternoon for some circuits. Pretty sure I'll be hopping in the pool on Wednesday night for the first time in over 6 months. I may drown. |

Did you get a good deal? What's the new saddle? I got the Adamo Racing2. It is A LOT better! Of course anything is probably more comfortable than a stock saddle. |

Sprints are doable for me. They've added an Oly in my area that I'm considering so may attempt that before tackling a HIM. It's a possible goal of course, but not if I can't get in the proper training...luv2bhealthy - 2013-01-12 9:28 PM kort-kort - 2013-01-12 6:21 PM That is impressive! Only in my dreams!Kuma - 2013-01-12 11:53 AM ccmpsyd - 2013-01-12 11:31 AM Thanks all for the supprt and well wishes. I'm pretty pleased. I got jammed up at the first mile and did it in 9:24. It was a tight squeeze in lots of spots. Kelly gave some great advice about nutrition which i ised to the T. Felt fine and booked it the last 2 or 3. Feel great now. Heading off to do some rides.
Now that's a dedicated triathlete, folks. Does a hard half-marathon in the morning and then heads off to put in some training miles on the bike in the afternoon. Color me impressed!
haha, that's what I was thinking too! Very impressive. Great job Chris! I went for a run outside today and did some strength training at the gym. The temperature's already dropping here. 50 degrees was nice while it lasted. You can totally do a HM. I think its a fantastic race distance (and a really good goal). You can totally do it. Get a plan. Stick with it. No problem. The difference between this year and last was amazing. Thanks, guys! I know there are lots of training plans out there. But my problem is the time to do the proper training. If I don't have the time to train properly, I am not doing a HIM. I work part-time, help run our Taekwondo & Fitness studio, and teach fitness classes 4x a week on top of being a wife and mother and all that entails. The problem is I live in a rural area. The only indoor pool close to me that is a reasonable cost is 45 minutes away and they are only open M-F with specific times for lap swim. Running I can do anytime and it's the one thing I do the most. Bike is where I really need the time...I know, get a trainer. |

This may then require a conversation with the family in which you state what you would like to do and ask for assistance in helping achieve this goal. It may require creative thinking to find ways to get you to the pool to do swims. But it could be a team effort that gets everybody on board and invested in your training.

Sign up for one, and then train. Don't wait for the right time, there may never be one. As for the least amount of time required to train, I will defer to the seasoned pros and coaches. |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Thanks! I know. It's just that I don't want training to become my life. I know if I committed to one I'd do it and finish because that's just me. I did my first 50 mike bike ride last year, too. But I can really only swim one day a week until end of April/May. And a half marathon is hard enough! I need to know that I'll be prepared enough so I won't hate it. |

The runs you can do in the dark and the rides you can do earlier in the morning. You are sweet! If you do it smartly 9-12 hours at the peak weeks. You'd end up playing with intensity vs. distance. IMO if you went on the lower end of that you'd have to be a really resilient athlete. That's if you want to do it right. I've seen people go at it with about 6-8 hours a week and they were in a lot of pain on the run. |

If you train smart and race smart (ie not like me) you should be able to put up a respectable HIM time. |

Regular ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() uhcoog - 2013-01-14 11:51 AM After long rides I drink chocolate (whole) milk or coconut water. I have tried some of the mixes, but I think I like these better. I haven't ever tried them after swimming or running because, um, well, I can't run or swim long enough to need them yet. jarvy01 - 2013-01-13 1:39 PM Do you all do recovery drinks/concoctions after hard or long training sessions? If so, what do you consume?
Oats (3/4 c usually, more if needed) + protein powder + almond milk. I add berries if on sale from the grocery store. ![]() |

By Training smart and making good decisions, I think almost everyone is capable of a HIM. What exactly do you mean by training smart and making goods decisions?Train in such a way to address your limiters and maintain your strengths (this is different for every person). We tend to like to train out strengths because we like what we're good at. Also its important to understand how things work together. Someone who runs (relatively) poorly off of the bike may think they should run more but if you take a closer look its often that they don't have enough bike endurance or poorly execute the bike, which leads to a poor run. Like most things, its tough to make objective decisions about yourself, which can lead to (sometimes) purposeless training. If all the training you do has a purpose, you don't have to expend really large amounts of time to have a solid finish (now working to get to the top of your AG at a large race is a different story). |

Posted a better time than normal so it was nice to see some improvement with the heart rate training. On another note the family has really jumped on the eating healthier. It makes it a lot easier to eat healthy when they are too. |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Easy ZR ride this morning with some OLP thrown in there. Yesterday was the first day in 2 weeks that I actually felt human and had the energy to complete life's most basic tasks. I'm still eating sugar-free, gluten-free, and dairy-free, and I'm feeling great. My GI doctor told me to remain on the gluten-free diet. My taste buds have officially been reset. I had a bowl of frozen grapes last night, and they tasted almost too sweet. Crazy, I know. |

Can't wait to try out my Kinvara 3's (Orange and Yellow) I just got in the other day from Amazon. They are so light. |
