You are a stud! Or maybe crazy?

I'll go with Stud, though I think the wife and kids are thinking more along the lines of crazy.Wink

 

Jackie- At risk of sounding repetitive, what you are going through right now is pretty normal and as someone more famous than me once said, "This too shall pass"
Switch up a couple of runs with something shorter, easier and more fun.  You'll bounce back quickly and get the fire burning again.

30 min spin warm up for TRX class, 30 min tabata training on TRX then 40 mins running "The Sierra Nevada Mountains" on dreadmill.  I'm loving the new virtual running programs on some new treadmills at our Y.  Variance of speed and incline based on the video of the terrain. Pretty cool.  Way better than staring at the cinder block wall for the duration on the run.

Talking about crazy cold weather, today we woke up with snow for the 1st time ever in the mountains of Guatemala. 

Separately, I skipped my noon swim for a date lunch with my wife. I'm now all cleared to bike tomorrow and race my HM on Sunday Wink

Have a great weekend everyone!

Gabe - this is awesome! First time ever? Wow. I miss the snow btw.

----------

Almost 3hr run this morning. And since my approach to running is quite the opposite of Jackie's - this felt like pulling teeth. A thought: if overrunning and running too little produce similar results - I vote for running less. This gives me more time during the week for other things.

I need advice!

I'm in week 16 of the Hanson plan.  Things have been going reasonably well for the first 14 1/2 weeks.  This past Sun, I did not do the planned 18 miler, would have been my second.  This one had the middle miles at MP.  I managed to get through 12 (3 WU and 9 at MP) and then ran and walked 2 more.  Then I bailed out and got a ride back to the car.

I took 3 days completely off.  Today was a planned 12 miler.  2 WU, 8 at MP and 2 WD.  I haven't even uploaded the workout yet.  It was awful.  Now it was warmer than it's been and slightly windy, but I just didn't want to be out there.

I almost decided that I wasn't doing a marathon and didn't even want to train for tris anymore.  I came back and had a pep talk from my virtual running partner who I plan to run the marathon with.  I felt a little better.

I just don't know whether to take more days off and keep losing fitness, or just push through it or maybe there's a third alternative.

Suggestions?

I get those feelings about not wanting to train any longer and sometimes just taking an extra few days off resolves the problem for me.  Taking a few days off really isn't going to cause much loss if any in fitness. It seems that your body is telling you something right now though so you should listen to it.

Lately when I have to get up in the morning to do a workout I just don't want to do it either. But then I start thinking about my goal of completing an IM and know that I want to enjoy the day of the race rather than be miserable that does help me some. Something else lately I have been doing is telling myself I will do just one more set in my workout and then I am done. When I get done with that set I say to myself that wasn't too bad so I will do one more.  That has helped me through the workouts. But there are days that I am headed to the gym for a swim and I turn around and go back to work just because my mind wasn't feeling it. 

I feel guilty somewhat for missing the workout but I think that even though I missed it I missed it because I needed that break away to recover mentally and physically.  Sometimes I do the workout I missed on another day and I actually have a good workout that is a productive one. 

I guess I always have tried to go by this: moderation is the key to success. Don't overindulge in something and you won't have the negative effects. Such as burnout from working out, burnout from working too many hours, overeating and gain weight, not eating enough and losing too much weight and getting sick.  It does seem to work for me quite well.

I have a friend who will set a goal for something and become obsessed with it. If during the process of the goal something happens that isn't in align with it, he at times will quite working towards his goal instead of overcoming the problem and just moving forward.

Hopefully this will help you realize that there are times things just don't happen as you want them to happen, although I am sure you already know that but might just need to be reminded. Your pep talk with your virtual running partner probably said similar things to you.

Best of luck though with your training.

Happy Australia Day everyone!

Did the Australia Day Aquathon this morning. 0:33 swim and 0:35 run.

Did my normal, I'm going to drown, panic at about the 250m mark, just as I got swamped by the wave behind. Ended up having to hold onto the paddle board for a few minutes to get my breathing under control. mmm, really have to work on this.

The run was really great. As I was so slow getting out of the water I just lined up the runner in front and chased them down, then started on the next one. Just a game of chasing.

Cheers Greg!  Hope you are having a great weekend. Congrats on your race (and passing weaker fellow racers on the run)!

Happy Australia Day everyone!

Did the Australia Day Aquathon this morning. 0:33 swim and 0:35 run.

Did my normal, I'm going to drown, panic at about the 250m mark, just as I got swamped by the wave behind. Ended up having to hold onto the paddle board for a few minutes to get my breathing under control. mmm, really have to work on this.

The run was really great. As I was so slow getting out of the water I just lined up the runner in front and chased them down, then started on the next one. Just a game of chasing.

Cheers Greg and Mark. hope you have a good weekend. Imstart with a sprint tri this morning. 750/21/5. Did ok I think but the swim was terrible. No panic attacks but the river was so full of jelly fish(non stinging type) you could almost walk on the water. As i was swimming they ended in your hand on your face and over your back, not very plesaent at all. Took me about 600m before I had settled enough to start breathing bi-lateral. The rest went well.

Talking about crazy cold weather, today we woke up with snow for the 1st time ever in the mountains of Guatemala. 

Separately, I skipped my noon swim for a date lunch with my wife. I'm now all cleared to bike tomorrow and race my HM on Sunday Wink

Have a great weekend everyone!

Ernesto- I was told by "a guy" (I have a former brother in law whenever he said I know a guy, we took it as code for he is about o get screwed) who was a pro cyclist in the 80's and 90's. He insists that more than 30 minutes on a trainer does nothing for you and is a waste of time. The only "real" way to improve on the bike is on the road.

Personally, I think he is full of it, just because of my own gains on the bike the past two winters. But, I wanted to hear what you think.

Jim, I'm not a big fan of the trainer only because I think it's less exciting than a treadmill and the weather here is good enough that you can get out all year around. Having said that it's pouring rain this morning and I did want to do a bike session today so I may have to dig mine out Laughing

There are definitely pluses though, you can define exactly what type of session you want to do. Easy MAF, intervals, HR ladders up and down, Sufferfest, just a spinning recovery, etc etc. And no traffic or weather issues.

It's not the same as being on the road, you need that for bike handling skills, riding in a group, wind, hills, weather, getting used to varying road surfaces but the trainer is still good training.

Just my $0.02

Great effort Matthew. The Nowra tri last week was like that as well. Lots of jelly fish. I didn't do the race, but I heard lots of people ended up pulling out.

Fantastic job in finishing. I seem to be with you at the moment, any swim without a panic attach is a good swim.

Cheers Greg and Mark. hope you have a good weekend. Imstart with a sprint tri this morning. 750/21/5. Did ok I think but the swim was terrible. No panic attacks but the river was so full of jelly fish(non stinging type) you could almost walk on the water. As i was swimming they ended in your hand on your face and over your back, not very plesaent at all. Took me about 600m before I had settled enough to start breathing bi-lateral. The rest went well.

Congratulations on your race Matthew! I can't imagine swimming in those conditions. I hate even occasional weed or anything floating in my way.

Pouring here today again. I have no desire to go out after yesterday's 3hr run. Maybe will do some weights.

Left work early yesterday with a nasty head cold.  Slept in and finally mustered the energy to do 30 on the drainer.  If time after my wife done with dreadmill I hope to squeeze in 30 on the dreadmill.  Absent this challenge I would be napping....feel better for the workout though.

Ernesto- I was told by "a guy" (I have a former brother in law whenever he said I know a guy, we took it as code for he is about o get screwed) who was a pro cyclist in the 80's and 90's. He insists that more than 30 minutes on a trainer does nothing for you and is a waste of time. The only "real" way to improve on the bike is on the road.

Personally, I think he is full of it, just because of my own gains on the bike the past two winters. But, I wanted to hear what you think.

 

I say he's completely full of it. I think one of the top pro's (Matty Reed?) trains almost exclusively on the trainer.  I've moved almost all my workouts to the trainer because of traffic issues, daylight issues, etc.  I plan on going to one of the local metro parks for longer rides in the spring and summer, but that can be a real time suck when I'm used to getting all my workouts done by early in the day...

Went home for the weekend so I could get some time out on the road... It was just one of those days where the wind knew when I was changing directions and always found a way to be gusting at 15mph into my face...
