Cycling Program v3.0 - 2010 - 2011 (Page 5)

Hook'em - 2010-10-23 7:19 AM I think I just determined that this cycling plan is not compatable (for me) with my 1/2 marathon training.  Since Monday I have done the three trainer workouts with two 6 mile runs mixed it.

Last Saturday's 12 miler was great, but today I struggled through a 6 miler.  I guess I will wait to start the cycling plan after the 1/2 marathon.  Even then, I can't afford to lose my running base.

JollyRoger - 2010-10-24 10:03 AM Like Hook-em, I have a half marathon coming up (Outer Banks, Nov 14th). 

I started some warm-up weeks on the trainer a few weeks back and, admittedly, have been putting in harder effort that recommended by Jorge for the two weeks prior to the start.  Found that performance during my long runs at the weekend were poor after the trainer weeks.   This past week I was in Europe on business and only managed a couple of easy runs on the hotel treadmill.  Went out and did a 10 mile run this morning and felt great!

I can fit in the workouts, but think that my run performance is being effected by the trainer work.  I think that I'm going to go light on the trainer for another few weeks and delay starting Jorge's program until after my half marathon.  Make sense?

Will only be a couple of weeks behind and the rest of you can have the pleasure of telling me what pain I am going to have to endure!

Same here.  I found that I do much better staying with the right power readings if I watch TV / Netflix instead of playing Xbox.  I ran 3.5 miles first then hopped on the bike.  Wow, that made me sweat but it felt great and I don't feel any soreness in my legs yet.  Over lunch I was able to hit a 2100 yd swim, then do a chest/tri workout mid afternoon.  What a great Monday.

axteraa - 2010-10-27 4:20 AM Week 2, day 1 is done for us.  I'm really enjoying having my Powertap!  I haven't done a test so I'm just guessing at the %'s of FTP for the intervals but at least it gives me a target to try to stick to and keep me honest.

After I did the workout last night, I tried to download it into WKO+ but it just kept telling me there was no workout found, has anyone ever seen that?  I tried reconnecting and restarting everything but nothing would work.  I'm wondering if it's the battery in the LYC as the display is a little dim and at the start last night, it suddenly went blank for a minute or so before coming back to life.  Also during the workout, the bottom display would say "data" (I think) every few minutes.

shmeeg - 2010-10-27 10:07 AM Jorge, were you still planning on doing some sort of spreadsheet for the workouts as some folks had requested in the other thread or do we just look to your blog each weekend for the next workouts?

JorgeM - 2010-10-27 12:31 PM

Sometimes I have trouble downloading stuff directly onto WKO+ hence I got into the routine of just downloading stuff to power agent (saris software) and exporting the file to wko or RaceDay. kinda of a PITA to do a 2 step process but it works. Still, make sure the battery on your CPU is good to go!

Sorry but I won't have the plan available in a spreadsheet at the moment. I know it would be easier for everyone but I want to still have certain control over the info provided and keep the venue at getting it via the blog. I know it is a hassle but considering it is a free program I hope you guys understand!

JorgeM - 2010-10-27 12:29 PM Folks, you can find most info regarding the program on my blog but I added a downloadable PDF guide just in case you like to have everything in one place. Check it out!
