I feel an aqua jogging trend coming on :)Originally posted by ligersandtions Originally posted by jmhpsu93 Originally posted by switch
Salty, I know I should know the answer to this at this stage, but, um, how does one "aqua jog"? Go to the deep end of the pool (you need to have one to be able to do this). Tie a floatation belt around your waist (they have varying degrees of buoyancy...some people don't use them at all). Start a running motion. You will be exaggerating your foot lift to compensate for the drag in your recovery. You should slightly propel yourself forward with the motion if you are doing it right. It can be a pretty good workout once you get the hang of it. And if you think a treadmill is boring... And you get the bonus of looking pretty ridiculous while you do it. I did a bit of aquajogging last year when I was on my run hiatus....you do absolutely look ridiculous! I have a pool at my house (not suitable for swimming laps, of course!), so I aquajogged in there....but at some point, the pool just got too cold and I had to suck it up and to go a real pool. If you're interested, Active did an article on a swim / aquajog brick: http://www.active.com/triathlon/articles/a-new-kind-of-brick-try-aquajogging-to-boost-your-run Also, when I bought my aquajogging belt, I ended up with two (long story...) -- just say the word and it's yours if you want it! I think Elesa should take you up on this. But if she doesn't I will! |

I'm sure they'd appreciate getting used, which they aren't at the moment! One of the reasons I stopped aquajogging, and something you may want to address if it happens to you, is that I could never keep the belt down around my waist, despite cinching it down a ton. It always floated up and ended up around my ribs, constricting my breathing. I'm sure it'd be easy enough to add some kind of strap to keep it down, but I never got around to it. |

We have 4"+of freezing rain (yep, ice) under a 4-5" layer of snow (and it is still falling HARD) on the ground. I need to do something!!!!!! Can't get to pool, don't have a trainer, and no way in he!! I'm going outside to attempt a run in this. Suggestions? |

Has helped maintained traction a bit more and keeps your feet more underneath in case you do slip. We're getting nothing up here. Just the cold.

I'll run in cold weather (last weekend's trail run was 7-9F) but ice makes me nervous. I also have crappy bone density so falling is always a bit worrisome. I have found running on snow/ice is better if you're off the streets and sidewalks. Less icy and more traction. If you really don't want to go out then get moving inside. My "stuck inside" workout usually includes the following: burpees (will get HR up), planks, lunges, wall squats, single leg squats, push ups, dips. None of these require anything other than a bit of space. If you have some hand weights there's loads more to add to the mix. Or you can just follow Ben's advice and HTFU. |

We don't get too much of that kind of thing here but it has been in the teens lately. Ben gave lots of good advice. I have some of those yaktrax for when I run in the mountains

Let me be clear...HTFU or not, there ain't no way my body is going to attempt any sort of locomotion outside today that involves lifting either of my feet off the ground. I had to go out to the car this morning (several inches of snow ago) and I fell twice, even though I was doing the virgin shuffle (thighs clenched tight together). Running would just be asking for injury. Thanks for the workout list Kim! I'm going to get in a couple of those sets here in a little while. Although, last time I did a jump burpee in my living room I broke a finger by slamming it into the ceiling (low ceiling+6'3" woman+jump=broken finger). No jumping! |

Member 3147 | Subject: RE: Work your Weakness aka "Hey, Mike, STFU!" Challenge I think we are in the middle of a two week challenge, but I've lost track. I've lost track of many things besides just where we are in the challenge cycle, one of the biggest being my motivation. Since my Turkey Trot I've really lost a lot of motivation, and should you look at my embarrassing logs, you will see I have only done one workout since Thanksgiving. Thus, starting today--I'm challenging myself to some form of workout every single day until Christmas! S/B/R preferably, but yoga for the scheduled off day on my plan. I did this in both September and October, and it was great. November's goal was to follow my training plan exactly, including rest days--I failed miserably. I think my mojo disappears with rest days, so I'm getting rid of them (carefully). Today, the plan is to squeeze a swim in between meetings and administering a final. I will report later to keep myself accountable. BTW...way to go ElPenguino!! You are rocking the consistency, and I'm totally jealous--but inspired too! |

Extreme Veteran 2263 Ridgeland, Mississippi | Subject: RE: Work your Weakness aka "Hey, Mike, STFU!" Challenge It was wet and cold here all weekend, but I needed to get my long run in. I didn't think running outside was the best idea due to my recovering cold. Thus, I decided to run my 19 mile run on the treadmill. It was mentally challenging towards the end, but I got it in. I have a half marathon scheduled this week. |

I think motivation is very hard this time of year--everyone is so busy, and the weather provides real challenges to those of us up north. Take it one day at a time. Maybe we should ask you to post your day's workouts here? Would that help? -- And, yes, Nancy! Awesome stuff you're cranking out :) |

I did a 2hr trainer ride the day before as well. I felt like Andy Potts! I think I am as far as the sickness. I have a few lingering symptoms, but I'll be adding some quality this week to wake the body up before race day. |

Veteran 1677 Houston, Texas | Subject: RE: Work your Weakness aka "Hey, Mike, STFU!" Challenge Still plugging away at my run weakness. It's finally to the point where I actually am starting to enjoy running! For a long time, most of my runs were pretty awful....but now that I've been running consistently, I'm actually enjoying them. I'm almost at 20 mpw, running 5x a week -- huge victory Did some ART this morning, 4 mile run tonight, some foam rolling and stretching, and will do some strength work after dinner.
Nice work to everyone who's made progress working on their weaknesses. And for Gretchen and anyone else who might be struggling with motivation -- it happens sometimes, but figure out a way to motivate yourself and get back to it! |
