2 hours outside on the bike today, a balmy 34 degrees in NH. Not the most enjoyable ride, but some miles in the bank.

Nice work.

It was 50 degrees here today. Smashed it out there. 26 miles @ 280 Avg Watts (np 295) Loving the weather for a change...

Recovery week for me. That was fortunate since it was a bad work week. Although I missed 2 short rides and swims, got more than enough running in. Getting the fine tuning with my bike fit, so feeling pretty good about that.

Smashed it? I would say that's an understatement, that is seriously impressive! You rode almost 15pts above my FTP for 26 miles, so I am gonna keep today's avg watts between me and my powertap.

Running a half tomorrow. Essentially paid $40 for a training run with 1400 of my closest friends.

Good luck in your half tomorrow. Now I just have to ride that kind of power for 56 and be really fresh for a run. Time and patience is all I need. ; )

1st half mary of the year in the books. Beautful day and ran a comfortable tempo pace for 11 miles. Decided to throw it down for the last 2 and super happy with how that turned out. There might be something to this whole endurance/base training.....

10 miler on Saturday. Will try to get in a bike trainer session Sunday - maybe 60 minutes. Or maybe an early ride in the neighborhood before it starts bustling. But Sunday is looking very booked with all sorts of other responsibilities.

Anybody get in some good training this weekend? For me - really good bike trainer session and 5 mile trail race.

Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 Eagleman Triathlon : Official Thread

Two hour interval ride on the trainer on Friday, 20 mile run with speed work in last 5 miles (2 hrs. 15min), and a 3 hour ride with race pace intervals and hill work. Today: EASY EASY EASY

Is anyone doing the Rock and Roll half or full marathon next weekend? I was going to run the full but am instead racing the half. It fits better with my training since I will not have to take as much recovery. I can run a mediocre full during training anyway

20 mile ride Saturday in heavy winds and a 11 mile run yesterday.

Doing Rock and Roll USA on the 17th...not so much for a PR but a good training day.

I may be out as well. I had an MRI a week ago on the left knee and showed multiple tears on the meniscus and a joint effusion with a large Baker's Cyst. I have an appointment with the Ortho on April 9th. Wait and see for now.

MRI showed "stress related changes in bone." I was on crutches for about a week and out of running for another. I have been running again for this week and did 7 miles on Thursday. My left quad feels like crap, but it's not like it was before I went for the MRI.

My docs want me out, but my response was "pain is just weakness leaving the body." If the pain gets severe where I can't bear weight on it again, I will have to be out. I think this will be my last long course. I think reading on the MRI was a bit of an over-read (I am a physician too and had a radiologist friend look at it too), but I definitely have some osteoarthritis in the knee as well. I am 38 and I don't want a new knee by the time I'm 50. I think I will stick to Olympics after this. Running does not agree with me.

Sorry to hear about your injury. Have you given any consideration to starting with a plan of more frequent running and lower miles until these issues subside? As in, running 6 days a week on a more balanced mileage approach?

I am also in. It will be my third HIM and second EM.

Last year I made a big mistake by not putting enough miles on a bike in the spring and not having long bricks.

Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 Eagleman Triathlon : Official Thread

Long bricks are important for any 70.3 but there is a difference between bricks and transition runs. You have to make sure you include hard race pace intensities; those really make a difference. Proper nutrition and hydration was my downfall. That and goin out too fast on the run. Last time I do 5:30s for the first 10k! ;O)

I run 4x/week. 2 short, 1 med, 1 long. Increasing 10% per week. I think it is pretty conservative. I don't want to run 6x/week. My legs like a little rest even after the short runs. The only change I would make is putting one of the short runs on an elliptical. I just don't feel like paying for the gym.

I did a brick run today with some speedwork. I feel pretty good. Now to get in the pool...

Granted everyone is different but I thought the same as you a few years ago. But I was constantly getting hurt. Feb 2011 I started with 6 runs a week using the 1:2:3 approach and today will be the first time I miss a workout since. That's hard to swallow. That's like 13 months of 6 a week. This ear infection is just too painful. So no run for me today.
