Notice Chris had no problem with being called "whacked out" LOL.  And I never denied being whacked out OR a perv.

Asalzwed - 2012-07-23 4:29 PM

Oops, I didn't deny being a narcissist!!!

Maybe I need to adopt your strategy...the scale wasn't too kind today.  Only down one pound this week but at least it's a loss.

I think I need diet help.  Usually I drop weight pretty fast but for some reason I am not this time.  I am counting my calories and upping my workouts.  Am I not eating enough?  Eating too many carbs?  My daily calories are in my logs and I usually eat about 50% carbs, 20% protein and 20% fat (yeah, I know that doesn't add up to 100, work with me here. ).  So, what do you think??

ArielLIlB - 2012-07-23 3:36 PM

Nope, you graciously allowed yourself to be called out on that one. hehe.

Asalzwed - 2012-07-24 4:38 AM

I'm just sooooo gracious! I love that about myself

Regarding hilly bike routes -- the things that have helped me are:

• Hill repeats
• Riding hilly routes -- look for the hilliest routes nearby
• Changing the rear cassette.  If you have a 12/25, try a 12/27
• Changing to a compact crank.  My first road bike was a triple, when I got my current road bike, I swapped to a compact crank on it.
• Upgrading wheels.  My bike came with a craptastic wheelset.  I upgraded to Mavic Ksysrium SLs and that made a huge difference in both climbing (and descending!) and handling.

All of these things have helped me a lot.  I am not a natural climber but I am determined ;-)

Hey, and put together you and I are almost intelligent or charming.

Not beautiful, though, apparently. Maybe we need better socks.

Warm up however you like. Throughout WU and main set, really every time you're in the pool, be very mindful of form, particularly as it applies to a vertical-forearm-wrist-hand, high-elbow pull. Pull back with your whole body, not just your arm.

Main set should be combos of (at most) 200s, but mostly 100s with a good dose of 50s and even 25s. Try to do them on the 2:00/100, or whatever interval gives you a few seconds rest but that you can still consistently make (barely, if at all make on the last few).

Some kind of cool-down.

My logs should give you a pretty good idea ... ugh, yes, I plan to be in the pool ... anyway, the last two MS for example:

2x (200 hard, 200 easy)
3x (100 hard, 100 easy)
3x (50 hard, 50 easy)
4x (25 hard, 25 easy)

12x100: 1-4 @1:50, 5-8 @1:45, 9-12 @1:40

Doubling Allen's workout main sets would be good too.

Surely JEDI, though i still wouldn't have got it.

Weather is awesome but only since the weekend. As you probably know, we've had rain of biblical proportions for three solid months, so it's nice to see some blue sky.

Bradley has been amazing (so has Froome and Cav, plus the whole sky team). i am now suffering post TdF blues.

Luckily the Olympics are just around the corner, then i have my Tri after which we fly to Turkey for three weeks of guaranteed sun sea and EFES (the local brew).

Asalzwed - 2012-07-23 3:57 PMI'm glad you clarified the context. I suppose I won't answer this one then. 

ukweeble - 2012-07-23 3:58 PM

What you trying to say???

I'm doing the Oly and she gets to twice as much as me> Thats not fair. I'm going to swim til i drown in protest!!

Learning to drive with the hips, and pull primarily with the lats but also back with the whole body as you rotate to the other side ... recruits so many of the big muscle groups to help. Much easier, more efficient, and ultimately much more powerful too.

TriAya - 2012-07-23 4:04 PM

My shoulders are crazy sore today and were burning a bit towards the end of my swim. Do you think this means I have a shoulder-driven freestyle? OR am I just doing it wrong. Geeze, I've never really thought so much about swimming.

They would need to be pretty special socks

TriAya - 2012-07-23 4:21 PM

I wear toe socks with flip-flops! I think that is pretty SPESHUL. Sometimes the color of the socks even matches the flops, or on really special occasions, some other part of what I'm wearing.

Asalzwed - 2012-07-24 5:20 AM

Yeah, I am guessing I am not using my whole body/core enough. I hate to admit but my lats aren't sore at all. Just the deltoids. 

Also, I don't really kick very much. I feel like I almost only use kicking as means for stability not propulsion. I'm sure that's a problem as well. 

Asalzwed - 2012-07-23 10:01 PM

She's saying your frog's not hard enough or, something like that. I think I mixed up the words. 

 

Also, this leads me to a question. What kind of insurance or documents does BT have or need in case someone takes some bit of training advice to heart and dies?
