Veteran  627    Prairie Village, Kansas |  Subject: RE: disturbed275's Mentor Group - Closed!My 2011 Goals: Complete my first Sprint Triathlon in May. I have a indoor sprint this February that should be a nice chance to compete before then. I'm going to shoot for a top 3 finish in my AG for 20-24. Stay focused on training. I have a tendency to jump right into things and get burned out quickly. I understand that training for an IM or Tri requires time and dedication. Im ready for both. Finish an Olympic Triathlon, looking towards Sept/Oct Finish the Men's Health Urbanathon in October. Eat to live, not live to eat. Looking at these makes me excited... Hope everyone has a safe New Years, and meet 2011 with a renewed intensity! |

Extreme Veteran 552 Minnetonka Beach, MN | Subject: RE: disturbed275's Mentor Group - Closed! OK... 2011 Goals.. 1. Stay injury free 2. Place in my division at a local race (Target race - Liberty 1/2) 3. Sub 13:00 at IMWI I know 13:00 isn't a great time, but it would be over an hour PR at this distance and sitting at 6'4" and 200 lbs, burning an average of 1200 kcal per hour with a max intake around 315 kcal per hour... Not sure that much more is in the cards unless I won the lottery, quit my job and got back to my college weight in the high 170's... |

Any Ironman finish is a something to be proud of. And shooting to shave an hour off your previous best sounds like a great goal to me! |

The casserole was cooking going to take a couple of hours, the rain had gone - sooo I put on the runners and did my hour run.........and I did a PB - yeahhh and feel so much better. I think I'll do my training early tomorrow - I'm feeling pumped. |

Veteran 627 Prairie Village, Kansas | Subject: Base Training Since I am a serious newbie to the sport, I was hoping everyone could help me out with the base training. All the training plans I have looked into talk about having a good base before your season starts. Since I have a somewhat limited endurance background, should I mainly be concentrating on my volume, as opposed to speed workouts? Let me know what you all did when you first started! That would be very helpful! |

That would be very helpful! personally i would definitely not worry about speed yet. In order to stay healthy i would just work on your volume. And try to get a "long" run and ride in a week. (something around and hour, for now) |

Extreme Veteran 552 Minnetonka Beach, MN | Subject: RE: disturbed275's Mentor Group - Closed! OK.... here in the cold north, I am inbetween my yaktrax and the treadmill in the basement. Problem is some of the roads are clear from last week's strange warm weather? Don't want to ruin the yaktrax, but really don't like running inside!? Anyone have any experience? Maybe I should head out to a local snow covered trail (luce line) and run? driving to run just seems weird to me!? |

| New user 12 | Subject: RE: disturbed275's Mentor Group - Closed! Ok I am the serious underdog here. I biked 10 miles yesterday and felt pretty good. But now my hurts....lol I can only run two miles and my leg starts to hurt. My swimming is atrocious. I signed up for some training on technique. So my resolutions:1. Starting 100 days eating clean in the morning- no cheats2. Increase my running distance without injuring my leg3. Create a half decent swimming technique4 Not look like a fool at the tri in July. ? |

I live in a built up area and sometimes I just want to run somewhere different and drive down to our waterfront or if I want a bit of a hilly course drive to the lake area. It does feel strange but it beats the treadmill. |

Which part of your leg hurts and is it during the run or aftewards? I remember my first tri and it was only a very small distance 150m swim - 6 km bike - 1.6km run - for the swim I ended up doing breast stroke and resting at each end of the pool, enjoyed my bike ride then come the run thought and this is fun!!! I was at the back but you know what - you get the biggest cheers and the end. So it doesn't matter what stage your at come July, you won't look like a fool because triathlon isn't that kind of sport - its the achievement at the end. I now do Half Ironmans still coming crossing the line at the back but I finish and thats the main part. |

Since I have a somewhat limited endurance background, should I mainly be concentrating on my volume, as opposed to speed workouts? Let me know what you all did when you first started! That would be very helpful! Well since I have only done one triathalon, I know were you are. I did the Silverman half distance for my first one. This is what I can tell ya. I looked up the beginner plan for a half ironman and then followed the schedule. It really eased my into everything. I can honestly say that I did not do all of the workouts. Life, work, and exhaustion sometimes go in the way. But I did stay consistent and made sure that I got in most of the work. It was hard to do, most of the time I had no idea why I was doing what I was doing, I just trusted the training plan. Trust the training plan. I did the Silverman in 7:16:28, not real fast but I DID DO IT!. It was so amazing to finish, I was sooo happy, it truly was a highlight in my life. Now I am hooked. Hope this helps |

| New user 12 | Subject: RE: disturbed275's Mentor Group - Closed! It's my tibia. I don't know what to do with it. Tried different shoes, not running for weeks- then starting over. It's frustrating. Guess I will focus on biking and swimming and small amounts of running. I'm hoping building strength and endurance through those will help my running performance. |

That would be very helpful! Since you are new to endurance training you are going to see a lot of gains in your first year just by training consistently and slowing building volume. Speedwork likely isn't necessary. I didn't do any speedwork until my second year of training and then last year I cut it out since I was coming back from an offseason injury. That said, if after a few months of training you've plateaued and aren't seeing any progress then it may be something to consider. |

I've been battling them for the last month or so and finally had to take a couple of weeks off to get things under control. |
