And speaking of, my coach called me to congratulate me on my race. He was really excited with my progress in the short time I have been with the group and expressed a lot of confidence in my future. Also, I get an easy workout tonight. Yessssssssssssssssssssssss! Edited by amd723 2012-10-10 11:58 AM |

I like oxygen too much to go that long without breathing!bcraht - 2012-10-10 11:19 AM Swimming things I have learned. 1. Breathing by 5s evens out my stroke. I get into more of a rhythm. 2. Straight arm dog paddle, while effective, sucks. 3. I hate quitting on a set midway. (Happens sometimes when the other lane is much faster and are moving on). It's like it (the rest of the set) is sitting there taunting me. 4. Master swim (or other swim group) is really good for getting someone who really didn't enjoy swimming (me!) to enjoy swimming. 5. Kickboards are better used as pull buoys. I like doing kick sets on my back, arms outstretched. Dannnng breathing 5s seems really long ... Yeah, that's what I was like a few months back. Honestly, at first, I was breathing every 2nd stroke cause I needed to. Then I recognized that my stroke was weak on one side so tried to go to every 3 strokes. Recently we were doing a breathe every 5 drill, and I noticed that my pull on the left (my weak side) was better. So when I can, I breathe every 5. Don't get me wrong, I can't do it every drill, every time. But when I can I do it. |

Elite ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() reecealan - 2012-10-10 7:32 AM Hello POD, I need some advice, or at least a warm and fuzzy So here I am in week 13, the plan has 5 miles scheduled for tonight which I will do but 20 is scheduled for Sunday. My goal pace for this half a$$ trained marathon is 8:30 and my HIM pace after a hilly-a$$ bike course was 8:50. Too optimistic? Keep in mind that was 3 hours, forty minutes after my swim start (fatigue setting in etc.) so I think it's doable. If I average 8:30 pace I'll finish around 3:42 and change. In my first marathon April 2011, I went out at 8:15-8:18 pace and hit the wall at mile 19 ish, finished in 3:47. Remaining Higdon plan below, whaddya think, just follow remaining plan see where that lands me? Also, for the 20 milers, run at 9:00 to 9:15 pace, trying to avoid any kind of injury etc. My logs are up to date etc. Suggestions welcome! Edit: I did not do the week 11 workout, that's just for reference. I did do the week 12 long run. I don't think I can advise but I'll give you a warm and fuzzy |

Also, regarding back to back 20's. Personally, I'd be too broken to do that. maybe on week 1 and then on week 3, but not back to back... BUT you know you're body and if it's not going to break you down too much then... I can't say go for it (ie, i don't recommend it), but I'll cheer for you if you decide to. Let us know how training is shaping up and what you decide to do. |

I know alot of you are still in the thick of training for some big events. You guys are awesome and the pod is proud of your hard work! Yessss, I have been lookin' forward to your RR. So, for CC what kind of boots do you recommend for a more "touring" style of skiing. Would the boots I have for skate skis work? I really have no idea what I am doing when it comes to CC. I know that if I am on a flat train it's a lot like running and I can fly but other than that all my snow experience is limited to snowboarding. |

Kickboards are better used as pull buoys. I like doing kick sets on my back, arms outstretched. I love this! Things I learnt from squad 1. While it's more natural to me to breathe to my left, it screws up my kick so I now breathe to my right.... 2. Fins don't make me faster in fact they slow me down.... 3. If I try to not kick in freestyle I go faster... 4. I am the fastest in the lane at kickboard drills. 5. - I can swim 25m underwater and I can swim 25m Butterfly - who knew!!! |

Sorry I have been a bit AWOL but between Tennessee, my birthday last week and DC for my brother's wedding it has been a bit of a mess. Got back from DC late Monday and just kind of vegged yesterday and got some work on my bike class power points done, those can suck hours out of your day without you noticing! Today though I went and got my self my new bike, I was able to get them to knock over $500 off of the asking price as well:
Now I need all the gear
Happy Birthday for last week! I got all the gear, no idea. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Hello All, I hope the middle of the week finds you all doing well. Between Reece's question, Kirk's new bike (BTW, that is a sweet ride!) and Tracy's last minute marathon, I started thinking about training stuff. Things like goals, plans, etc. I had put a "plan" in place, kind of a soft plan, more like an idea. This is due to some challenges I had last year with light training and a race that ended with me tweaking my knee. I then made the knee worse when I tried to change my running form. I ended the winter with an HM that I was somewhat prepared for, but not at my best. Keep in mind that I'm no running stud like Reece or Adrienne, so my goal for the fall and winter is to improve my running. I have a time goal in mind for my HM in March, but I'm waiting to see how things progress before I put it out there. The more important part for me though is the progression. My plan is to run more often, and build volume on the long run once a week as well. There are a couple of other pieces as well, but my focus is to simply follow Scout7's advice and run. "Usually easy, sometimes hard." So, how about the rest of you? There are a few of us that still have tri races left this month and I know Jo and Yanti are building for their IM's in March, Tracy mentioned XCountry skiing, and Salty intends to run until the cows come home. What else is out there for anyone? Is there a focus on a certain discipline, some time off, continued tri training or maybe a completely unrelated hobby? And does the next few months present a different set of challenges or obstacles? Family obligations, traveling, holidays, eating, etc? Have a great day everyone. |

Sounds like you have a great/smart plan to improve your run. Good luck. I'm still focused on the tri season with my HIM at the end of the month. Then there is a sprint tri on thanksgiving day that one of my brothers wants to do. There is also a 5k the same day that another brother would rather we do because he hates swimming in Florida lakes (which is what we'd have to do for the tri). I hate Florida lakes too, but still swim in them from time to time. So, we'll be making a decision about which race to do t-giving. After that there is a HM in Orlando that I've done a few times and will probably do this year too. After that, I have no idea what i'll focus on, although, I'm pretty positive it won't be the bike As far as other challenges like eating - I just ate a chocolate croissant. nuff said.
