Newbz winter training group is FULL!!!!! (Page 5)

(hand raises) me me.me.

It is not a dumb question.
I just right click and highlight the table. Then Paste. Then go into training log edit. Then paste/copy into training log Goals section. Apply and it is there. The real hard part is actually making the table. Neal: Thanks so much for making it.

Chris

PS I actually did get my P90X, swim and run in yesterday!!

You should be able to just highlight it, then copy and paste it into your goals section.  After that I would check the links from your log page to make sure it works.

If it doesn't try copying and pasting from the chart in my log.  I've found that sometimes that works better

Oops.  Sorry Chris I didn't see that you had already answered David's question.

The table wasn't too bad.  I basically copied one that someone else had made for one of my challenge groups and changed the links and background

Good Morning,

I'm not finding my goal section.  Do I have to be a paying member to get this part? 

Kelly

I don't think so.  Look by your calendar on the left side.  There should be something that says Quick Links.  Click on the first icon under that that says control panel.  Then click on the header "goals"

Hello everyone, I was doing well with December training the got just a bit lazy around New Years and have been sick since.

The weight-training challenge might just be the ticket to get me working hard this month.

I am at a solid 200lbs now (at a bit over 6' 2".  I want to get to 193 by month end.  Last season's race weight was 189-192.

Damn!  When I was your age and shared your lean build my goal was gain weight.   I doubt you'll be discouraged if you don't loose any weight.

I frequently do Bike-Run-Bike and B-R-B-R-B workouts.  But part of the reason is it is fun.

Yeah, Chicago is about to get 10 inches of snow.

 It just started.

Nothing but hot and humid here in Houston, as always, 364 days a year...

My 1st event is a half marathon on Feb 15th, about five weeks out (1st sprint tri is two weeks later), I just did my long run for this week today, 10 miles at about a 9:30 easy pace. My goal for the event is under 1:45, which would be an ave pace of under 8 min/mile. All the training info I've read has been for marathons and everyone agrees that you shouldn't run the full race distance before the race. Am I right in thinking this does not hold true for the half marathon? I suppose my question is what distance (or time) should I try to build my long run up to for this? Thanks!!

What I wouldn't give for snow down here!! It snowed one night about a month ago and it was a HUGE event, hadn't happened in years, and like a decade before that. I made a snowman and still have three snowballs in my freezer!

Thanks for the info on the long runs, yeah I'm kicking up the weekly mileage a bit, making hour long runs the norm instead of my longer runs and I'll try to get in a 1:45 long run about once a week too. This week my mileage was about 27 ...shooting for around 35 for now.

I think my plate is pretty full as far as races go until May, which is as far out as I've planned. I'm running the Austin Half Marathon in February I talked about earlier, then my 1st tri (sprint, duh) two weeks later on March 1st. The event is new I think; it's meant to raise money for Hurricane Ike victims. It's on open water swim on Lake Conroe, so a few weeks out I'm gonna try to get down to the beach to swim in some open water ...I hear it's WAY different. April 4th I wanna try to do a quarter @ the Lone Star Triathlon on Galveston, which I think is a pretty big event that people travel here for, they have a half IM... About mid May is the Heart of Texas Triathlon in Austin, the swim is in Lake Travis, if I'm doing really well and feeling daring I may go for the half IM, but that's a long way off....

I haven't committed to any races yet, but have gone back and forth on the distances that I want to commit to.  I have registered for the Springboat Springs Marathon which is June 7th.  There is two different Sprints two weeks later.  Do you thing it would be to much to compete in a sprint two weeks removed from a marathon?

I originally planned on running up to a half Iron in Aug, but I think I might skip that on and get the one that is in Sept.  I was looking on trifind.com yesterday and couldn't believe how many tris there are in this area.

I will get back once I start making some more choices on which races.
