Looking for a Few Virtual Training Partners v2.0 (Page 6)

i will let my sister know....sounds fun

if you go ~ take lots of pictures!

thanks Blanda ~ I never thought I was a wimp until I went to a spin class ~ haha

sounds like you like to run!!!  you go!!!

for the off season training is time to reflect on the past and plan for the future ~ my suggestion would be to do a few less runs ~ maybe 4 runs max and make one of those runs each week a longer EASY 2 hour aerobic run ~ work on technique by running drills on other days and if you are a triathlete work on your weakest link of the tri...what is your next planned race?

Got a 5 mile run in this am.  It was Florida cold - 43*, 36 if you count wind chill.  Brrr.  I love it! Tomorrow weather will be back to normal, which is nice too.  All in all, a great time to train in Florida.

Assuming it gets delivered as predicted, next week I will start P90x2.  Years ago I used the original P90x and loved it, so I am looking forward to this version.

During the off season I like to snowshoe and cc ski to mix it up a little. I am weak on the bike to I try to work more on that.

swam 45 minutes this am, did a lot of stroke drills; so hopefully one day i won't be so slow!

Hope everyone has a productive, fun weekend.

I do whatever type of drill the coach tells me to do!  Today we did a warmup of 200 swim, 200 kick, 200 pull, 200 swim

then went into 4x50, scull in front for 25-swim 2d 25; 4x50 slide (?) drill first 25, 4x50 scull under first 25 -swim 2d 25.  Then b/c i was 15 minutes late (I actually got stopped by 2 trains at the same stop), I only had time for a 50.  Those that made it on time had some more sets, but i don't recall them.

Your 400 sounds fast!  Enjoy your off running day!

Wow! Nice 400 time. I used to use swimplan.com to get swim workouts.

Was that your whole workout or was that just the drills.  If it is your whole workout you may want to consider adding a main set with more swimming.  My typical swims consist of warm up, some drills, main set (or2) cool down.  Here is a very basic 2500 yd workout I sometimes use.

WU: 500 easy swim 5x100 or 10x50

Drills:  100 pull,kick,pull,kick,pull

MAin set:  swim ladder 10x100 on a set time ex: 2min  or with 5-10seconds rest

Cool down 500 easy swim,back,swim,back,back

Good Luck.

After a rough two weeks with my son I've taken a few days off from training competely. While I feel slightly guilty about not working out my mind and body feel great and ready to rock on Monday. Maybe I needed this bit of physical break to get my head back in the game.

Great job everyone on the impressive workouts. I'll be joing you again on Monday. Have a wonderful weekend.

Glad you're feeling better, but the visual is gross!

I got a 9 mile run in this morning, bailed on my usaul post saturday run swim.  now i feel guilty.

Hey training partners, looks like a lot of you guys have been out there hitting it hard this weekend.  I took yesterday complete off to hang with my family and relax.  Then hit it today with a 19 mile run!  It was my longest run ever and it'll be the 2nd longest run of all my training for January's marathon.  I felt great (much better than last week).  I did take a few walking breaks and my pace isn't exactly what I wanted it to be (goal: >10:00 min/mile, acutal: 10:27 min/mile), but I'll take it!

Hope you guys enjoy what's left the weekend.

Great job on the long run!

Like a run to clear the head. Nice job!
