Almost 90 miles on the bike and then a 5 mile run.

Now its naptime (and lots of cleaning to do too).

wow my rt heel hurts a lot now

I felt it throughout the second half of the run, but it didn't bother me much, just uncomfortable. Now it's making me limp. Maybe running that distance in newer shoes wasn't the best idea? Or something else??

Back from sobe (south beach) in miami I got a nice run in yesterday. I ran for and hour on the the beach . I'm guessing about 6-7 miles. I couldnt workout today due to a case of whiplash! Eat way to much.....

RockTractor - 2011-02-20 11:37 PM That's impressive! What do you do to stay engaged for that long on the trainer? TV? RCV? Intervals? Steady State? Also, if you don't mind me asking, what kind of aveage power are you generating over that period? I banged out Spinervals 27 (Threshold Test / Sufferfest) on the trainer today: http://connect.garmin.com/activity/69347806From my data, I squeaked out about 253 W (average) during the 20 min TT test. So, I guess I will use that as my new baseline for setting up some bike training zones. There were people (or maybe just one person) in that video that were cranking out 340+ watts during the test... do I have that far to go or is that just some exceptional riding? Also, as he walks around, he calls out people's heart rates... I always seem to be low in comparison (I ended the test at 153 BPM). I feel I gave the test my "all" - there was no way I was going to gasp more that one word to anyone during that test. What might be going on there?

I did the whole ride in Z1 (all of my long rides are in Z1) and averaged 141 watts over the 4 plus hours.  For IMLP/IMFL I would like to be in the position to push 180+ watts for the 5-6 hour bike in high Z2.  We're getting there.

To make it through the time, we set up a Hulu queue.  The Computrainer helps a little but it still takes a lots of mental effort to get through the ride.

Also have you thought about using HR in conjunction with watts for your biking zones.  The problem I find with watts alone is that they don't account for other stresses on your body, whereas HR does.  For example if you are feeling fantastic, your HR during a workout may actually be lower than normal or if you feel horrible it may be higher.  By using HR you are able to take into account all the stress your body is dealing with.  With watts there is no accounting for body stress. 

Grilledmonkey - 2011-02-21 8:36 AM I'm going to be offline for the next month (family emergency), just wanted to quickly stop by and wish you all the best with your training programs and any events you've got upcoming. If i dont return before the end of the mentor program, hope you all have a great Tri season.

Take care all, cheers

RockTractor - 2011-02-20 9:40 PM Good job on the run Steve! I hope the ankle is nothing serious! As Kumi and I were running the foothills Saturday it dawned on me that I had not called you to see if you wanted to join us..... so, let me say this now: you have a standing invitation to run with us anytime you want... just let me know. I'll also do my best to keep you in the loop on start times and locations.

RockTractor - 2011-02-20 11:41 PM Whiplash? Are you OK?

kaburns1214 - 2011-02-21 3:55 PM

pbrown70 - 2011-02-21 8:36 PM

Is it fair to use my post run weight for my weekly weight? if so I was 210.6. If not i'll weight myself again in the am.
