In all the Challenges I have done, I am, for once, enjoying getting tasered by Deeder-deeder.  I set myself up to fail miserably, and it's paying off.



This is for you.

Woo!

:P

Pink Socks - 2013-05-13 9:36 PM I hate strength sessions.  I'm just saying.  It astoundes me that as short as mine are (I do short non-stop ones), I can hurt so dang bad.  Groan.

hurting in a good way, I assume.

enders_shadow - 2013-05-13 10:52 AM And, in keeping with my other end of the challenge...packet pickup for the century was at a local brewery...I filled up a growler (64oz jar) with a nice coffee stout. Nom.
Coffee stout? Clearly, I'm uneducated about this kind of thing. Who knew they combined those two things into one product..... Maybe I need to drink more.

And the latest trend is BACON BEER (I am glad I am a vegetarian on that one)

I found this Useful and thought i would share especially as it gets me out of my routine pace and better prepared for Upcoming Triathlon

Swimming

I like to see athletes test in the pool weekly, rotating the test below every four weeks. All tests should include a 200-600 yard warm-up and then 8x50 at desired test pace with 20 seconds rest.

Example: If you want to swim a 1:30 pace for your test, your 50s should be done around 45 seconds. For a cool down I would recommend at least 200 yards of easy swimming.

Main Set #1: 8x100 on 1:00 rest.

A short set like this lets you go gang busters and helps you understand pacing. The idea is to keep the 100s within a second of each other without slowing down as the set progresses. Over time you should see your average for the 100s get faster.

Main Set #2: 4x500 on 20 seconds rest.

Try to descend (make each one faster) each 500. The pace of your last 500 is likely to be your Ironman pace when rested, tapered and wearing a wetsuit.

Main Set #3: 8x200 on 10 seconds rest.

Add up the total time on the 200s and this should be reasonably close to your 1500m time for an Olympic-Distance Triathlon.

Main Set #4: A long time trial (TT); should be at least 1,000; can also be 1,500, 2,000, or longer.

Long time trials like this are mentally tough and provide a realistic look into how fast you can swim. There is nothing like a reality check!

Results: Once you have done these tests you have a pretty good idea of where your strengths and weaknesses lie. If you can drill the 100s in Main Set #1 at 1:15 pace, but you fall off to 1:35 pace on the 200s, you know that endurance may be a limiter. If you can hold 1:35 pace in both the 200s and the 500s but can't muster anything faster than 1:29 pace on the 100s, then you know you are lacking speed. If you fall apart on the 1,000-yard TT then it could be lack of endurance or even lack of mental toughness. Either way, you'll know your limiter after doing all four tests and you'll know what you need to work on.

Um. No. I'm not gonna try that.

Maybe we can talk Kristen into it, though.

I've had bacon beer. It is good.

Busy this week in class, so I'll do my best to update (and avoid tasering).

Well, it has a picture of a bicycle on it. I guess that's appropriate.
