Master 2759 Los Angeles, CA | Subject: RE: Shellback1998 Group - FULL kloofyroland - 2011-10-17 2:22 PM Hello everyone! I'm starting my Half Marathon training plan this week. Will you please tell me what you think about the attached plan? It's in Excel format. Race happens January 15, 2012 and I'd like to finish in 2 hours or less. =) Thanks, Roland I changed Thursday's easy run distances to 1/2 mile increase every 2 weeks. |

Expert 1305 | Subject: RE: Shellback1998 Group - FULL You need to take some time off. You can cross train, but why don't you do a plan from cool runnings... Attached, is a plan similar I did, but I did the advance one instead of the beginner.

Extreme Veteran 2098 Alberta | Subject: RE: Shellback1998 Group - FULL It has been awhile! been slacking on the triathlon training of late. Spent just over a week in Phoenix last week....HOT, but great for triathlon training!(not that I was other then the odd run!) Been on the concept2 rower for the most part with a few runs sprinkled in between! Looking to join masters swim if times work in January. Meeting a gal on Thursday to buy her CyleOps Fluid2 trainer with riser and tire. Hoping it doesn't fall through as it is a great price! Hoping she doesn't change her mind. I think I can improve on my biking greatly. Wow, all the half marathoners in here (Joy, Roland) are putting me to shame. Still debating on the Huntington beach race. Will decide by Friday! Will see you at the beer tent Roland! |

Expert 1481 | Subject: RE: Shellback1998 Group - FULL I've done three rides on the trainer of 60, 60 and 65 minutes. I was easily doing 2.5-3.5 hour rides outside but on the trainer I'm done after an hour at this point. Part of it is I've been battling the flu but part of it is I'm just sore at the end of an hour. My legs partially but more my @ss and upper hammmies from the saddle. Riding outside there's lots of things I do during the ride to get more comfortable. On descents I'll raise up out of the saddle and not peddle once I've reached a certain speed. I'll also stretch out my calves at this point putting my heel down and all the weight on one leg then the other. I'll switch up between the aero and pursuit position to change my weight displacement. On the trainer it's just perpetual motion. I have a tri bike so I cannot stand to simulate a climb. It's not like spinning where part of the workout is out of the saddle. I'm sure I'll get used to it but what a change. On the plus side I can already see a change in power from doing intervals and I think my peddle stroke technique has already improved. It's definitely cool getting an average wattage output to compare with the heart rate data. I'm going to just get acclimated to the trainer for two more weeks then I'll also do my taper week. After that I'm going to do the Spintervals 27 Threshold test to figure out my real heart rate and power zones. Anyway that's my heads up to my fellow first time trainer riders and my short term plan. |

On trainer rides, lets say you have to bike for hour. You take the 60 mins and divide by 1.2 for a total of 50 mins. By using this calculation which is supplied by my coach takes into count how your always pedaling on a trainer and not coasting stopping on the bike. Just a rule of thumb. Good idea about the threshold test. Do this test month, and plot and your HR and Watts, if the scale moves to the right, you are improving, if it goes to the left you are either fatigued and need some time off or you'll need to work harder. It's a good way to check your fitness levels. There are similar things you can do on the treadmills as well. All this can be found in the book. Triathletes Bible. Good technical read as well, it's not a fun read but after reading you basically can write your own training plans... that's a good thing Scott |

Good technical read as well, it's not a fun read but after reading you basically can write your own training plans... that's a good thing Right so 60 on the trainer is like 72 on the road. I'm doing 4 days a week vs my normal 3 to get the volume in even with the conversion as I adjust to peddling with no breaks. I started the Triathlete's Bible before and after training, work and the kids I wouldn't make it two pages and I'd be asleep on the couch. I know I have to fit it in at some point I just don't know when. Do you like the Spintervals series and use them on the trainer? I was thinking about using this 70.3 series as my winter training. http://www.spinervals.com/products/item181.cfm What do you think? |

I actually have used them in the pass. we do the Spinerval 5 hour one as a Charity Event, I'm sure you knew about it. But, I have a tacx virtual trainer similar to a Computrainer. That's what I have and Love |

The next big one will be a power tap for outside. I'm going to invest in the videos as a cheap alternative for the time being. |

Yay! I'm being good about going slow. =) Route was somewhat hilly but had some good flats and descents which explains my odd splits. I posted this in our FB group page too just in case. My HR got up to Z3 on the ascents. |
