Fred D and Queen Zipp's SWIM, BIKE RUN consistency thread.... CLOSED (Page 55)

Ouch.  Sorry to hear about the spill.  Hope it heals up quickly.

I did a technique focused swim this morning, want to get out for a ride today but am trying to not trash the legs too much since the 10K is this weekend.

After an awesome 4 day ski trip and a rest day yesterday, I felt kinda gross and so ready to get back in training. Even though it was years since I went skiing, things came back quickly and did some more challenging runs on the second day. We placed most of the kids in private lessons for both days and they had a blast... kids make skiing look so easy, lol. I probably could have ran or swam as the weather was perfect and there was an indoor pool in our complex but I was too sore and too full. So no real training during the trip except some cardio from skiing. I took a rest day yesterday as I have another busy week at work due to all the different spring break schedules.

This morning, I had a crisp 2000m swim session and a short 3 mile training run. Feels great to be back.  Quick question. Since I missed 4 days of training including my long rides and runs should I just stay on course on my oly training program  I have been following or should I make any adjustments this week ? I have 6 weeks to my oly tri and these next 3 weeks are my peak training weeks. Thanks and have a great day !

I would think you had a good foundation and at least had good cross training/ aerobic activity with the skiing so you should be okay to just keep moving ahead with the plan.

Last week was a recovery week so I was glad it coincided with our ski trip. Starting this week and next 3 weeks are my build weeks. Makes good sense, I will continue moving ahead with the plan. Thanks Judi !

I had a nice run followed by a short ride this morning. All of a sudden Spring is here! It was over 50 by the time I started my ride, so it was a real pleasure to ride in short sleeves and shorts. I felt a little awkward out on the roads for the first time in awhile this past Sunday, but today I felt really comfortable. Just wished that I had more time for a longer ride.

Welcome back, Rich! Sounds like a fun trip.

Thanks mate ! Great memories for the 3 families and 8 kids !

How about a few more details???? group set? pedals?  what kind of hydration system are you planning to use for the HIM training?

That's great!  Lots of fun ahead for you!

I'm finding it really hard to feel sorry for you.  Today we had thunderstorms and ice with supposed snow on the way.  I would give anything to run in shorts in April.  Doesn't seem like a lot to ask for really.

I have to swim on my own.  There is a bad brush fire and the major road over toward that gym is closed, all the side streets are back logged (husband has been stuck in it over an hour already).  So, I tested the instructor and she'll text me another workout later.

I'm actually down to 150.4.  Lightest I've been in over 10 years.  I'm actually a little worried (not health wise, but performance wise) because it's coming off too fast.  I don't feel hungry, but trying to add back some calories and make sure I'm staying hydrated.

Haven't gotten a chance to read it.  But it would be quite interesting to see what the pro perspective is.
