Member 81  wisconsin | Subject: RE: Tony Zamora's group - FULL After being sick for the last week with the flu, I was able to get 40 minutes inon the bike last night. Just did it on the trainer. Man was I winded and just didn't have the second gear. Is it natural to go slower on a trainer than on the road? Just seems like I can puch bigger gears on the road than on the trainer. |

Just seems like I can puch bigger gears on the road than on the trainer. Some trainers are faster, some are slower, no trainer is alike. Mine is the same way, I tend to ride 20+ mph on the road and 15-16mph on the trainer at the same level of effort. Don't worry about speed, your level of effort is the only important thing you should consider. |

Veteran 720  Aurora, Illinois | Subject: RE: Tony Zamora's group - FULL What kind of trainer do you have? How high are the resistance settings on it? The gears you push should be pretty comparible if you have a good trainer with resistance settings. You usually shold have a harder time on a trainer, no momentum to help you out! |

Veteran 720 Aurora, Illinois | Subject: RE: Tony Zamora's group Hey everyone! Just wanted to catch up and see what's on everyone's mind. Any training thoughts, stress, difficulties this week/weekend? Sorry haven't been on here too much this week. Work (my real job) has had me busy, been a tough training week, and have been working on the new website for the coaching business, shold have that up by tomorrow! I'm back and am in full swing. Hope all is going well and training is going as planned! |

Feel free to check it out and let me know what you think! www.tzcoaching.com How's training going everyone? Everyone seems quiet this weekend, hopefully a sign of hard workouts to come! |

Veteran 720 Aurora, Illinois | Subject: RE: Tony Zamora's group - FULL @mgpiper - you are correct, increased mileage isn't going to make you faster. It's about the quality training, not quantity. So think speed work, leg drills, intervals. Of course you want to have some mileage in your legs to avoid overuse injuries, but a good combination of both shold get you from "very slow" to "slow" in no time! |

Veteran 720 Aurora, Illinois | Subject: RE: Tony Zamora's group - FULL @msaskin - How's the TNT training going? I've heard some good things about their schedules, and it's definetly a good group to be part of. How often do you travel? At least you can always take your running shoes with you and get in some mileage on those weeks! |

Member 81 wisconsin | Subject: RE: Tony Zamora's group - FULL Hoping to get a little workout in this afternoon. I have been working anywhere between 12 to 14 hours a day and still have a honey-do list at home a mile long. to nice not to get a ride or run in though. |

I've heard some good things about their schedules, and it's definetly a good group to be part of. How often do you travel? At least you can always take your running shoes with you and get in some mileage on those weeks! Training is going well. TNT group sessions are once per week for each activity - I'm doing a total of 7-8 workouts/disciplines per week since TNT is working towards NYC Tri and I've got the Syracuse HIM 8 weeks after NYC. Overall it's a great group of people to be training with - NYC has a large contingent so when I go out for my long solo runs on the weekend if I've wearing a TNT shirt I always get at least a few "go teams!" when I'm out. I usually don't have a busy travel schedule, it just so happens I've had a few things come up recently that have kept me away from home. I leave this wednesday for Houston, friday from Houston to Atlanta, monday from Atlanta to Raleigh, and then return home on Thursday. Will be taking the time away to do core (easy to do in hotels) plus running - will swim when I get a chance. In general, the long runs (6-7 miles typically) are starting to feel good now. I also am getting used to being on a tri bike - feels slower due to the leg muscle differences but the real numbers show me 30 sec faster on the 3.2 mile loop we train on, and I feel much better running off the bike, so something's right. -matthew |

| 10 | Subject: RE: Tony Zamora's group - FULL That's good to hear that there is hope for me yet... What leg drills do you suggest? How often should they be done? I did a 4 mile run last week with miles 2&3 at a pace 1 min/mile faster than my workout speed as a tempo run. I will try some shorter speed work intervals this week. I was thinking 1 speed or tempo workout per week is plenty at first...or should I do more? |

Veteran 720 Aurora, Illinois | Subject: RE: Tony Zamora's group - FULL After a good warm up, try doing 10 x 1 min max efforts with a 2 minute recovery (walk). After a couple of weeks you can decrease the recovery to 1 min and see how you do. |

Member 81 wisconsin | Subject: RE: Tony Zamora's group - FULL My first ride outside today. As far as my previous question about speed on a trainer, I picked up about 2 MPH outside and that was with a pretty strong headwind (gust at +20), Still only at 16 mph, but getting better and having fun. |

Member 81 wisconsin | Subject: RE: Tony Zamora's group - FULL tzcoaching - 2010-05-04 11:54 PM Your outside NOT on a trainer, you should be having fun! It is the same computer that I use outside. I think I just have my resistance up a little to much on the trainer. As long as it works and I can get some time in the saddle, I really don't care. Need to start swimming ASAP. That is my weak point and I have 5 weeks before my first sprint. Was swimming earlier in the year, but had some shoulder issues. Only need to do 400 to 500 yards, but just need to get started on it. |

| Member 36 Panama City Beach, FL | Subject: RE: Tony Zamora's group - FULL Had a great bike ride yesterday afternoon. Rode just under 17miles in just over an hour. Had some really good splits. Ran/walked 3miles early this morning before work. Lifting weights after work today. Think I'm back on track after my little hiatus. |

Veteran 267 | Subject: RE: Tony Zamora's group - FULL Weather permitting I've got a bike/run brick scheduled for Sunday. This will be the first time doing this going from an actual bike ride to an actual run as opposed to using a stationary bike and treadmill. I'm wondering if there will be a noticeable difference. The transition might be slow b/c I don't have a bike rack so I'll have to load the bike into the car before I can start the run. I haven't been on the bike long enough to be comfortable with the busy roads outside my neighborhood. Luckily, there is a low traffic national historic highway that a lot of area bikers use that's just a few minutes drive away. This has been a great week of training for me, I did some sprints and hit a personal best for the 1 mile and felt productive in the pool as well. If all goes well Sunday's brick will be the exclamation point at the end of a good week. |

Veteran 720 Aurora, Illinois | Subject: RE: Tony Zamora's group - FULL Awesome, good luck on the brick and let us know how it goes! Don't worry about taking time to put the bike in the car, etc... as long as you do it in less then 10 min, while your still warmed up you will feel the effects on the run. Take it easy and have a good workout! |

| , Arizona | Subject: RE: Tony Zamora's group - FULL I'm hoping to do a couple hours on the bike tomorrow morning and maybe get a short run in later in the afternoon. Then it's off to Oklahoma to visit my grandparents for a couple of days... so no biking option but will definitely run. Swimming has stopped... again, friggin strap broke right after my warmup earlier this week! grrr! I wonder if I can just buy the strap instead of buying another pair of goggles? |
