Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() It really is worth the investment and will make such a huge difference in your riding. Good luck though and hope you can pull it off ![]() ltcsh1 - 2011-02-12 10:33 AM I was bad today, but now I am in love. So I went to my LBS to look around for information only since right now I am riding a MT and hope to get a real road bike. Well my looking is over, I have found the one. It is a Trek 1 series and is everything I will ever need. Now to see if my wife and I can agree to the purchase. ![]() |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Are you pushing yourself too hard maybe? That could be why you are running out of breath. I know everyone has talked about this before and I am probably just sounding like a broken record but just relax while you are in the water. It will come soon - just keep working at it. Does your coach have you breathing every 4th stroke or was that just a drill? I started in November. I still have to stop. I can't swim more than 100 yards without stopping for 10-20 seconds and catching my breath. All my distances done in my log are done with drills. My swim coach has a dry erase board that she leaves for her students so we can do it without her there, I just can't remember what they are when I get home to log them in. Todays swim wasn't as good as yesterdays. I'm a little soar though, so that's probably why. I'm not giving up! I was able to go four strokes before having to take a breath consistantly for the first time. So it's getting better. |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Getting ready to head out and do my 17 miler this morning - its 37 degrees. With the weather we've had it feels like shorts and no shirt weather. At least my water bottles won't freeze. |

And I don't know about "no shirt" weather. I'm going shorts and my Shamrock Shuffle long sleeve shirt. I originally wasn't giong to run and then I stepped outside. WOW - I gotta use this weather while I can. |

Regular ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Tim, Deborah, KC....nothing on the bike yet. We are a single income family so everything else comes first. I know that so I knew it was more of a "this is where I want to be" talk, then "I want it now. " I had a wonderful experience at the LBS so this is the one I will be going to. From our talk, it looks like we will try and pull it off this summer. At least I have a goal. KC...nothing to write home about with my shoes. I have only ran 2 m in them, so nothing yet. I'll let you know. Deborah....Are you anywhere new Danvers? My fathers family is from the area and up unitl 2002 at least one relative lived on th same street in Danvers for over 100 years. Tim....I hope the run was good for you. I hate anything under 45 degrees here. |

I completely understand the bike thing and what is great is that you now know what you want and you are establishing a nice relationship with your bike shop. I think that is a key component to all of this bike shopping thing. I had a great guy I was dealing with at a bike shop in town but he recently left to pursue another job. I went in there last week and just did not get the same vibe from anyone in there. I will give the new staff a chance but I just feel like moving on to another bike shop now and establishing another relationship. I go in there now and I feel like a stranger and for a new person to the sport, you don't really want to feel that way. This sport is intimidating enough. Have a great week. KC |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Hey Team. Decent swim and bike today. Enjoying the last few holes of the Pebble Beach Pro Am right now. Hope everyone had a great weekend and have a great week. This week: Monday - back with my swim coach for a lesson and one other day - shoe shopping. Have a great week. Coach - how are the slopes? I am heading up to Huntsville Ontario this coming weekend for a couple of days of skiing - nothing like Tahoe but I might catch a hangover ![]() |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() 3 hours on the trainer today. 2 hours on the trainer with an hour run Saturday. On bike purchases, how much is the ambulance ride and ER and ICU when we are old and have a coronary because we are out of shape? More than a bike. |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() It was GREAT today with the sun shining- could have done without the 25 MPH winds out of the west but I kind of planned my route to minimize it. Although I ran smack right into at 15 miles and I think factored in to my "wall". I did wear a shirt though ![]() Also Rob -I think you were asking about my bands website -www.sorryforpartyingmusic.com We are on the southside at Hollsteins in Tinley Park next Friday (2/25) if you are feeling adventerous -haha robburkett - 2011-02-13 12:37 PM tmoran80 - 2011-02-13 10:24 AM Getting ready to head out and do my 17 miler this morning - its 37 degrees.

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Yesterday was an awesome day for a run. I must have been feeling really well as my pace just seemed to plummet despite the high winds coming out of the west and I stayed well in zone. Missed my 1:17 bike on Saturday and planned on hitting it Sunday. It just wasn't in the cards. I'm travelling to Charlotte, NC this week for 3 days, so Tuesday's workout schedule is going to take a hit. I'm not overly concerned about missing a workout here or there this week as I feel like my volumes are really coming along well and it's a fallback week. Be safe out there! |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() razorxp - 2011-02-13 6:48 PM Hi everyone just seeing how your doing. 1 more day of skiing and then i head back home. Legs are feeling great. Two bikes over the weekend, 2 hours and 3 hours. Both with VO2 drills. Saturday's 2 hour was followed by a brick on the treadmill, one hour with hill repeats at 3.5 to 3 %. Feeling good. Tonight are weights and pt, yoga. Tuesday swim, bike. Wednesday the run club training program starts with a short 3 miles outside. Thursday, swim and bike. Friday, rest. Saturday I assume a ride and run again. Meeting with the coach on Friday to firm plans for the year. Good week. New Rumble Roller feels like it's getting deep. Two trigger points still on each IT band. Trying to break them up. harsh. Y'all have a good, safe one. |

It all depends on the workout for me. If I feel like I've REALLY worked myself beyond just "normal" endurance training, I'll make a protein shake. Other than that, I'm going for water and food. I don't know from empirical evidence, but I've heard that the best way to give your body what it needs is to eat, but obviously eat well. |

Chocolate milk for short 2 hours or less. Hammer Recoverlite for long. |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() cool- i am going to get some chocolate milk. i LOVE chocolate! |

![]() ![]() |
Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I usually do the chocolate milk. For longer workouts I will first put down about 12-16 oz of sports drink and have a piece of fruit. I was thinking of trying some of the recovery drinks on the market but haven't yet. I have a hard time eating right after a workout of more than 2 hours so I usually stay liquid for the first 30-60 minutes. gabrelsj - 2011-02-14 8:23 AM i saw this question posted on another thread and thought it was interesting. the question was "what is your favorite post-workout drink?" i was surprised that most everyone said that they favored chocolate milk for workouts less than 1 hour. i was glad to hear because i love chocolate milk but was surprised. what are your favoritte post-workout drinks/food? does anyone drinnk chocolate milk as a post-workout drink? |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I like a good protein shake with fresh berries, low fat yogurt, milk and protein powder. I will also just sometimes do the G2 and maybe a piece of fruit. I had heard chocolate milk was a good drink post workout but I just have not gotten around to trying it. KC |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Yeah - with three kids in the house, if I start going to town on chocolate milk while saying it's my recovery drink, I'm certain that WWIII will start. |
