kenj - motivated triathletes in training - CLOSED (Page 64)

CyborgQueen - 2012-03-04 7:45 PM

Had planned to do a bike ride Friday morning - it was cancelled for some reason. I have to call the Bike Shop to find out why. I was a little annoyed about it, but left and went to my school instead to finish up a little bit.  I could have put in a ride, but it was very cold, and I don't have enough cold gear. :-(   Had a breakthrough swim that night though!

Saturday, was supposed to go cycle with a friend, she cancelled on me. I wasn't motivated at all to do anything especially with two cancellations. 

Sunday - I hung out with Las Vegas Tri club. Had me in the hurt cave...2270' of climbing in 20 miles! Don't tell me that's "normal" for some of you...lol.

Hope you all had a good weekend!!

Meulen - 2012-03-04 6:55 PM DJ. I've done 2200+ ft of climbing. But that's not normal! Lol

Nice job!!!!

In Illinois I'm lucky to get 1000ft elevation gain in 50 miles!!! Lol No wonder I go to Nevada to do some climbs!!!

Here you go, I had to guess on the 5 minute test by taking your highest 5 minute interval of 161.  The protocol is supposed to be a seperate 5 minute all out on a seperate day with some rest in between.

Percentages of CP For sessions
65%	98
70%	105
75%	113
80%	120
85%	128
90%	135
95%	143
100%	150
105%	158
110%	165
115%	173
120%	180

Also, here is the link to the page here on BT that you can use to calculate it!  Good first test Carla, I would agree though that something appears off.

Ooooh, wow!!!!!  This is awesome!!!!   :::: Amazed :::   I will review the sessions presented when I follow the link you posted for me.  Many thanks Ken!  Man, I am deeply grateful for this.

My testing protocol was only to time 1 x 20 min... however I realize now that the 1 x 5 min effort is part of the calculation.  :|

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!  ::: bowing ::: 

Meulen - 2012-03-06 6:12 AM My wife then came down from her run, and took some video of me on her iphone. Where I was crushed to see other stuff that I need to work on now!! LOL Just thought I'd share...

Throwing it out there  - Anyone got a good running song that they cannot run without?  I need some fast, moderate, slow (pace)! 

I'm not very into music (big Reba McEntire fan...21 years and counting...lol), and I normally enjoy ballads, rock ballads, and some country, but other than that I don't really listen to music because it takes me a lot of time and concentration to know the lyrics.  

However, I'm starting a compilation of running songs, not to "listen", but to hear the beats, drums, etc while running.  My mind will NOT shut up when I do long runs, and I've discovered that listening to music for long runs actually helps a lot and helps my pacing too!

 

 

Meulen - 2012-03-06 8:12 AM We were supposed to learn to flipturn in Masters class Saturday. But the coach didn't show up, so I just ended up doing a previously remembered workout. So last night I decided to teach myself. My wife had worked with me a little bit last season, but basically, I was on my own with them. After my warm up and some 200's last night I decided my speed set would all be done with flip turns, good or bad. By the end of the workout I was hitting them pretty consistently! It really feels good when you nail one!! My wife then came down from her run, and took some video of me on her iphone. Where I was crushed to see other stuff that I need to work on now!! LOL Just thought I'd share...

gator22 - 2012-03-06 1:39 PM It's funny. I hate rap normally but when I run I love eminem til I collapse and dr. Dre California love. So sad.

jog.fm has tons of music and it is set up by miles per minute.  I guess there are some songs that the music helps you stay at 5:00 minute miles and some for 10:00 miles.  Although looking through the website it is sort of surprising some of the ones that they have listed at the 5:00 and 6:00 pace songs.

Hey everybody.

The not-working thing is hard to get used to mentally but all is well.  Taking care of financial business and keeping up with the workouts, which are keeping me very positive.  The bike: entered the climbing (build 1) phase today.  Hard 3 X 10 min hill repeats @ 97 to 100%.  Smacked it.  That was after masters this morning where I am using new stuff I got from semi private lessons with a tri coach.  Really took down the time and effort.  New eyes are key.  The running club started their spring program and I tested at the 9:10 pace group on a night when we had 40 mph gusts.  Really good with that.  

Otherwise, looking for some part time work and applying to corporations.  Also doing a re-read of Friel's Going Long and Triathlete Bible and watching some vids on how to plan a workout year, week and day.  Gong to do the International Triathlete Coaching Asso. program.  32 days on line, then a test for certification.  I think my coach is going to retire at the end of the year and I want to be able to do this for myself. Always something new to learn, isn't there.

Have a great week.

Ice.

Exactly why I'm afraid to videotape myself! :-)

I had not heard of this site before, I will have to check it out! I am like Kirk, when I run I kind of zone out to the actual music and get into the beat.  I like some of the Eminem stuff, Black Eye Peas, and junk like that.
