SBR Utopia - OPEN (Page 63)

Yes, everything tends to go up. It's for both the weekly total and so there isn't a huge disparity between something like the long run and everything else. Also, 2 miles a week seems like a pretty big jump. It can be done once, some might get twice in a row, but that's kind of big to keep doing continuously.

I'll be strength training and running (although you can't tell from my actions this weekend).  I'll probably dial back the running though, mostly due to time. 

Kansas always seems to have really strange weather. 

I"m having a bit of a boo-hoo fest for myself tonight. What is it in the knee that allows one to clip out? I really messed that body part up when I fell over. So sore.

I did a trainer ride tonight and I had so much pain during my attempt to clip-out I had to use my hand on the shoe. 

Stupid tippy bike

I lived in Kansas City for two years. I liked it but went through an ice storm that was CRAZY. 

Thanks Michael, I do tend to be cautious with increasing things.

I think you should have had to do a straight 1500

Were the individual distances timed or just the total 1500?  

The whole 1500 plus rest was taken. She'll factor out the rest and get our pacing per from there.

ummmm your invisible alter ego ... brbriley *need to read posts better* *seriously need sleep*

rrrrooops!

You probably just tweaked something because you reacted so quickly, keep icing it. Sorry about your fall! Whenever something like that happens to me I just pray no-one got it on camera!

Arend - what plan are you following?

Finished up Stage 3 of ToS this morning.  Seriously, Extra Shot with no warm-up (at 4am) is just cruel.  Felt fine cardio-wise, but my legs are definitely feeling it.  Here's to hoping that they'll be able to finish out this silly tour!

Not sure about everyone else, but I'm just riding.  The timing of the tour works out nicely for me, having just come out of knee surgery....not strong enough to run and not supposed to be letting the incisions soak in water (i.e. no swimming). 

Reaction 1: Is the bike ok?

Reaction 2: Did anyone see that?

Kate, I've had things like the knee occur before, though it's been awhile. Yours might be different, but if I remember right, flexing basically my entire leg and twisting my body some so that the angle wasn't so big helped. The leg may or may not have been straight, can't remember. Hopefully that gets better soon enough.

Was that because you were short on time? I'd still try to get at least a few minutes as that one has none built in.

Not an online plan, workouts come from my coach.

I've done similar to Ben with adjusting how I twisted to get out without pain.  Also, do you have cleats or pedals that allow you to adjust the tension required to clip out?  If you can, that may temporarily help with the pain while it heals up.

I'm sorry.  Maybe while it is sore take your foot out of the shoe rather than clipping out, just leave the shoes on the pedals.

Running a lot, and running consistantly works!!!

That is all. 

Yep. I moved to the Overland Park area from Arizona as a kid.  Talk about hating life!  Moved to Kansas City in HS then to St. Louis in college and a few more years.  We get wicked thunder storms here and the occasional hurricane but I do not miss ice, snow and bone chilling wind!
