 New Haven, CT |  Subject: RE: kaburns1214 Mentor Group - CLOSEDabqtj - 2011-02-06 4:45 PM counting swim time: I have a question/curiosity. When I enter my swim time, I've been deducting my time resting, drinking water, whatever, and I just enter my estimated time actually swimming. Is this correct to count it this way? My reasoning is I want to see what my rough per100 time is I guess. I'm curious how others count there swim times. I watch the pace clock for my splits, but in terms of logging, its time in the pool rounded to the nearest 5 minutes. |

Master 1832  Elgin, IL | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 Mentor Group - CLOSED Nah, I don't bother stopping my watch when I rest. I count from start to finish. I keep track of the yardage though. If you want to get your 100 time, periodically do 100's sets. Periodically you should do sets that replicate your race distance for time so you can figure out how you are progressing. |

Master 1832 Elgin, IL | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 Mentor Group - CLOSED Great job on the race! Congratulations. As for race reports, you can enter in the race report in "race logs". Either find your race, if it exists, or enter in a new one and fill it out. It is nice for yourself, but also for others that may want to do that race in the future and get comments on it. I look at race reports all the time and certainly have decided on doing or not doing a race based on comments. |

Extreme Veteran 3020 | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 Mentor Group - CLOSED kaburns1214 - 2011-02-06 5:08 PM Erica and I ran a VERY HILLY 5K today (probably the hilliest I've ever run). Two really long climbs totaling close to 2 miles. We ran a 23:57 (7:44/mile) not bad for the hills. We ran up to the monument on top of the hill (twice) And here's Erica pre-race: Fantastic job! Congratulations! |

I count rest time if its in the workout, but do not count extra rest time (chatting, overlong breaks, whatever) |

Master 1832 Elgin, IL | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 Mentor Group - CLOSED Was wondering for those of you that are veterans, how much strength training do you do per week? Do you do 1 session of legs, or 2 sessions? Just wondering how much for how long I have to do strength training, or do you keep it up through the entire season and taper close to races? As others are commenting, it will be harder and harder to get everything in . . . |

Member 113 | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 Mentor Group - CLOSED I was just reading the new article on bilateral breathing BT has posted. I've been practising breathing on both sides and also holding my breath to breath every two strokes, but cant seem to find anything comfortable and always end up breathing every stroke. I find i get out of breath trying anything else, not too sure what im doing wrong. I know breathing every stroke is slowing me down. How do you all breath whilst swimming? |

I find i get out of breath trying anything else, not too sure what im doing wrong. I know breathing every stroke is slowing me down. How do you all breath whilst swimming? It'll come as you build an aerobic base for swimming. I breath 3-5-3 (3 stroke, breath, 5 strokes breath, 3 strokes breath). Sometimes to work on aerobic capacity I'll breathe 3-5-7. Essentially, like getting faster, the more you swim and practice bi-lateral breathing, the easier it will become. You can also try slowing down when you practice bi-lateral breathing, that way you're not going into as much of a oxygen debt when you're trying to get your breathing down. |

I find i get out of breath trying anything else, not too sure what im doing wrong. I know breathing every stroke is slowing me down. How do you all breath whilst swimming? First of all, relax when you swim. It will make breathing easier. Second, don't breathe all the way out. That makes it really hard to inhale enough, so you're always breathing out more than you breathe in. Breathe out comfortably and in comfortably. This takes practice because a lot of people worry about being out of breath, drowning or whatever. Just breathe comfortably and normally. Finally, how are you counting strokes? I think most people count strokes as each arm going forward is a stroke. There are a billion articles on swimming and breathing. Most of it involves comfort in the water, efficiency and fitness |

Master 1832 Elgin, IL | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 Mentor Group - CLOSED I breathe on both sides and I do so because I used to breathe only to the right ALL the time and I ended up having stroke problems and hurt my shoulder because I was dipping one shoulder too far into the water. The bilateral breathing forced my body to be more balanced. Having said that, if I have to do speed work, it is probably 80% right side, 20% left. With speed work I need the breath more often. |

Expert 1121 | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 Mentor Group - CLOSED Week 2 of my actual training plan. Had a good 4. mile run yesterday, doing my best to keep the HR down, did some squats yesterday, as well. I felt it this morning though. For some reason, I only slept about hours last night. Still got up at 5:15 to get on the trainer for an hour. I won't lie though, I wanted to quit every second I was on the trainer. Thankfully there was extended Super Bowl coverage on Sportscenter this morning. Will be running my first ever 5K race this coming saturday. Goal is 25 minutes. |

As others are commenting, it will be harder and harder to get everything in . . . at most I will do 2 ST session/week. when I do them, they are ciircuits that hit the whole body and the entire workout lasts about 20-30 minutes. ST will not make you faster in SBR, trust me, if it did i would be very fast and I am not. but if you like it, do it as it is good for overall fitness. I do do a fair amount of core and stretching work, and do that everyday, usually 10-20 minutes post workout. |

I breathe every other stroke right or left. not good at bilateral. i can do it, but like breathe more often. in races i breathe either side as needed but not less than every 2 strokes, sometime i breathe every stroke. |

Ever thought about switching up your diet structure? Tinkering with your macros. I had to go Ketogenic to get under 200. Only thing that worked. While going to that extreme is very tri unfriendly, you may want to look at pulling back here, adding there, etc. |
