Ironman Louisville : Official Thread (Page 6)

 I'll doing a 1/2 IM in april so I'll just be following a plan for that, but will most likely be doing a longer bike ride on the weekend than scheduled, after my HIM i'll have a week of just fun workouts before starting the 20 wk intermediate plan on here..

Building a base. Long slow miles. BORING. I have started to throw a few tempo runs and faster segments into my longer runs. But they are only about an hour right now. I think next week I'll start to throw some longer yard sets into my swims as well. I've been working on from for the last couple months.

I know its early, but the holidays are now behind us.  So, does anyone want to start a weight loss group?  I raced in 08 around 12% body fat and I want/must be around 8% this year.  What do yee say?

I'm in.  Jan 1 weight was 287 lbs.  %BF was 30.9%

I was in the mid 240s up until IMKY 2008 taper....put on about 10lbs during taper.  Then put on about 10 lbs/week since then.  But it's a new season now so time to get down to race weight (whatever that is).  I'd be happy just to get down to my driver's license weight.  :-)

~Mike

don't know my BF% but I had one more dietician apt so I can find out..

I was 220 though most of my training last year, 232lb at the start line, and this morning I'm at 226lbs..  My goal is to be 200lbs or less at the starting line this year..  So I'll be in with this

OK so we have three little pigs in the challange right now.  Coincidently, we three (Mark, Gary and Mike) will be roommates at the Galt House in August.  We'll be lean and mean come August so ifin' any wolves come a huffin' and puffin'.....better pack a lunch.  Lunch?  Someone say lunch? 

~Mike

Okay, who else wants to play?

Bob, you have to come jock-strap....you owe me some TUMS!

Thats funny, because as I was making the table.... I was eating.

 Count me in.  Starting weight this morning was 188.  I'm checking my bodyfat tonight so I'll get back later with a goal weight/bodyfat percentage.  Great idea!

NO NO NO NO NO I WON'T DO IT!

Okay, I need to do it.

The hills of Kentucky are calling my name, not my extra padding to haul up!

You crack me up - you change your avatar more often than I change my socks!  ;-)  Funny how I associate an avatar with a person and am kinda thrown off when someone changes.  Not complaining here....I like change.....just no very good at it. 

~Mike

O.K.....crud!  Time to fess up that I've padded the middle too much this holiday season....please add me to the list as follows:

 BT Name          Real Name      Start Weight/BF      Goal Weight/BF      First Check In

Tri-Wog StL      Paul                  186.4/ 16.8%         162/ sub 10%         TBA

Train on!

 Paul

Count me in:

    Name: Rob,    Start: 156,    IMKY Goal:142 lbs

What kind of check-in period does everyone want?(1 wk, 2 wk,..., when ever)

Count me in also:

    Name: Josh,    Start: 182,    IMKY Goal:175 lbs

I figure once every two weeks. It's unlikely folks would have a significant weight loss every week. Those of us seeking to lose more are looking at about 0.5-1 lb/week.

You crack me up, too. You just won me over by taking the "little guys" on in an overweight thread once and I've had the greatest respect for you ever since.

I change my avatar once a month. I get tired of looking at whatever it is after that.
