| Master 1690 Metro NY Area | Subject: RE: Come and play with aquagirl and mav ! CLOSED Hey there everybody! Sorry I haven't been keeping up with the MG lately. After being sick last week I got sidetracked. I hope all is well with everyone. I put up a little poll in the main tri forum to help me figure out which bike to take on my upcoming vacation and first tri of the year. |

As for the bike... take the bike that you're most comfortable with. It's a long season... no need to get hurt on the first tri. x2 what Kevin said Lisa!!! Comfort is key on the bike. Glad you are feeling better  |

Hardly got any workouts in this weeek, but race on Sunday was awesome! Had a great time. What's on everyone's agenda this week? Question: why is it that I don't enjoy at all doing my short runs(2, 3 miles) and will skip them but i love, love, love my long runs(6-9 miles) and will hardly ever skip them. Same thing with bike. love my 70 milers, don't enjoy my 20 milers as much. |

| Extreme Veteran 671 Not Quite DFL | Subject: RE: Come and play with aquagirl and mav ! CLOSED Whether or not I enjoy a run seems to have to do with other factors in my life, not the distance. If I'm feeling down, I won't have a good run and I won't enjoy it much, regardless of distance. If my performance is poor, I don't enjoy it. That is my experience. Lately, I'm having trouble getting up for the run. I don't know why. It's easy for me to just bag it and say, "tomorrow". |

| Pro 4828 The Land of Ice and Snow | Subject: RE: Come and play with aquagirl and mav ! CLOSED Hmmm...........I can't say I feel the same way. I adore every run I get out there for. To me the prospect of a quick 30 min run is awesome. Gets me out into the fresh air and never ever fails to make me happy. Now having said that I used to really love my long runs as well. But right now I am increasing my run mileage by trying to incorporate a steady diet of frequent short runs. There is something to be said for frequency and consistency ....... But we are all different in what we enjoy and what we do not really care for, so its all good. As long as you do not allow your distaste for a certain workout to give you an excuse to SKIP the workout. Again CONSISTENCY. Think about your training like this: its all pennies in a jar. Day in day out, week in week out, year in year out......this is how we become fit. Slowly over time with consistency. Make sense? |

Lately, I'm having trouble getting up for the run. I don't know why. It's easy for me to just bag it and say, "tomorrow". Interesting. Duane have you tried running "naked"? Take the Garmin out of the equation? The watch? When my asthma is outta control.....which is unfortunately not an infrequent occurrence, my runs tank. I simply lose ALL my run speed . Not that I ever really HAD any run speed to start with but you know what i mean. So I run along, gasping, chest heavy staring at the Garmin WILLING the numbers to be different than what they are. Horrid. It simply makes me angry .....and sucks all the joy out of the run for me. I now know that for me a much better approach is to run without any external data about what is actually transpiring during the run. Either Garmin free......and just use GMaps after to get the dustance. Or by running with the Garmin but covering the display. Then when I get home I get to peek and see what happened during the run. This may not work for everybody, but for me its been very helpful. Just a thought. |

| Pro 4828 The Land of Ice and Snow | Subject: RE: Come and play with aquagirl and mav ! CLOSED OK then. So now with two days of night shifts under my belt I am going out to run. And you can BET that two days of no sleep and CRAPPY nutrition will perhaps negatively affect my performance. Duh. Oh well.......... |

| Extreme Veteran 671 Not Quite DFL | Subject: RE: Come and play with aquagirl and mav ! CLOSED Quick question for you all - I am to do "long hills" tomorrow. I live about 1.1 miles from an overpass - thought I'd bike there, do my hills and bike back. My hills are supposed to be .25 mile long, but these aren't that long. I'm pushed for time in the a.m. and I know if I don't do it in the morning it won't get done. What do you think? good plan? |

| Extreme Veteran 671 Not Quite DFL | Subject: RE: Come and play with aquagirl and mav ! CLOSED I meant to ask this earlier. I seem to have a strange stride/gait since I've slowed my pace and started longer runs. My left foot, and only my left foot, seems to strike the ground "flat" - meaning not heel first, not toe first, just, flat. This seems to cause my shin muscle to get a work out. I really noticed it yesterday later in the run and I couldn't seem to change the strike unless I sped up. Right leg does nothing different. My only known trauma to that leg was knee surgery 25 years ago (artho, had a chipped kneecap) I sound like a lopsided horse going down the road. Thoughts, comments, suggestions? Don't worry about it, run faster? |

| Veteran 278 Mesa, Arizona | Subject: RE: Come and play with aquagirl and mav ! CLOSED I don't think it is so much the time involved in getting ready or even any outside factors like a bad day. I feel like I don't get in my groove in such a short distance or i feel like I am just getting warmed up and the run is done. Maybe I am not getting the runner high that I enjoy so much during and after my long run. Who knows. I will just have to make myself do it. Thanks for the input!

Same thing with bike. love my 70 milers, don't enjoy my 20 milers as much. Morning Rebecca... we've missed your beeming sunshine too. As for your question... I'm getting that now too. I believe it's that we don't feel it's a good use of our time. Let me explain.... a 2-3 mile run takes between 20-40 minutes... getting ready and cleaning up takes X amount of time (for me 10 minutes prep ....depending on how cold... then 10+ minute cool down ...again depends on temps.... and shower/change). That X amount of time doesn't change with the length of the run... so going out for a nine miler feels like a better use of our time since you have more time running then you do spent preparing. The same goes for the cycling... and swimming. We have to realize that ALL workouts are important and the body needs lighter/shorter workouts to properly aclimate to exercise. You are far less likely to get injuries by following these plans... they ARE time tested and should be followed as best you can. Of course... this is my experience and I'm open for other's interpretations. Helen, Marianne... what say ye?! |

Don't worry about it, run faster? Wow Duane...i have experienced EXACTLY the same thing as this. Happens on my left leg as well. Clop clop clop....you CAN hear it. I have figured out for me what causes it is kind of a super tight muscle in the shin area...........and when I really work on it with the Stick it settles down. It is NOT a shin splint...I do not really have any pain until I use the Stick on my shin then I realize how tight it is. Let me know how this goes ok? |
