Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Corncub - 2011-03-21 7:10 AM Hiya McFuzzies, I'm fly'n high this morning... had a fantastic race yesterday. I went in unsure of myself due to last two long training runs being less then satisfactory but the race went perfect. I felt good and steady, did it in 2:24 which is just under an 11:00min pace. Thats includes one stop because I thought I had a pebble in my sneaker which turned out to be a nasty blister on the ball of my foot, ouch...I'm going to post a race report today and will post a link when I do. SO HAPPY!! YEA YEA YEA RUNNING! PS. The asmazing thing is I dont hardly feel sore at all today, unlike after EVERY training run. I think it is because I was having so much fun during the race. Its FASCINATING how psychological running is!
also, CONGRATS MIKE, YOU ROCKED IT!!! Race report: http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=245469
That's very cool! |

Wishing you all a great training week, recovery week, back-to-business week, or healing week-it seems all of us need one of the above! Quarter 3 of school ends on Friday...cannot believe how fast this year is going. Two more weeks until Spring Break!!!

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() stephsprint - 2011-03-20 6:07 PM Ree … some shop ruined your aero bars and YOU had to buy new ones?… hmmmm LBS ruined the bars because I told them to cut the bars down to fit her while we were there for the fitting. They were like 4 inches too long so the were no good the way they were. When they took the bar end shifters out, and cut down the bars, the inside diameter was different in the middle of the bar than it was at then ends, so the shifters would not go back in. Not really their fault, was gonna have to buy new ones anyways, so no huge loss (got a used set in the correct size for $50) I will tell you this, sure made me sweat when I was cutting my Zipp aero bars down the next day, that's for sure. Lucky it all worked out fine on my bike. |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() McFuzz & corncub - Congrats on your races! You both did awesome! Last week went pretty well for me. I did miss one swim and my long run was cut short but otherwise I did all my planned workouts. The long run got cut because I spent most Sunday volunteering at a trail half marathon. It was a great experience (I love volunteering at races I started back with the strength training last night (we'll see how long it lasts this time I hope everyone has a great week! |

Member ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() OK, so on my first week back after being lazy for a couple weeks I have completed a 50min. run which was pretty horrible feeling. After the first 20min. I started to feel so heavy and my joints/hips felt a bit stiff. I stretched pretty good when I got home and about an hour after the run I felt great. So today I had my first brick after no workouts for awhile and did a 60min. bike and 30min. swim. The bike was fine but getting back in the pool was very intimidating (almost didn't even go). But I went anyway and worked my way through a very slow swim workout. Dissapointed that my swimming has suffered so much in just a few weeks of not doing it. Good lesson learned I guess. Anyway, enough of the negative because on the up side I'm back and I've completed some good workouts. On to the rest of the week. Hope everyone else is having a successful week as well! |

Veteran![]() ![]() | ![]() **** McFuzzies **** Help, my somethin'er other hurts, and I'm not happy about it! I don't know what it's called, but it's the muscle in my right calf area. (In the back) I noticed it yesterday after my bike ride. It acted up a bit tonight during my swim. My concern is I have a decent run tomorrow, and I'm not sure how it will feel after that. I think I'm just gonna take some ibuprofen before I run and hope for the best. What do you think? |

Other than saying it's your calf muscle, I'm not sure what could be hurting! I am one who tends to run through discomfort, but you must be careful that you are not injured and risk further injury. Generally, if you have to take pain relievers to get through a workout, you probably shouldn't do the workout. Also, be careful taking ibuprofen before any hard workout as it can interfere with your kidneys' function. Ibuprofen is processed through the kidneys which are already working hard during a long run and when you get dehydrated they work even harder. Adding ibuprofen can damage your kidneys. This is one of the reasons marathons that provide a pain reliever on the course provides tylenol. Heal quickly,
Ann-Marie |

This is one of the reasons marathons that provide a pain reliever on the course provides tylenol. Heal quickly, Ann-Marie Gastrocnemius is the muscle in the large part of your calf. Solieus runs along the bottom-edge. (Thank you wikipedia.) If you've had muscle cramps, the soreness may be a result of the cramp. Seems as though calves are some of the first to cramp. You might try increasing potassium rich foods (banana, raisins) to minimize cramping and the discomfort. (Could be electrolyte loss with the suddenly warm temps this week. ) I've highlighted part of Ann-Marie's response. Ibuprofen can cause problems with your kidneys. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) can cause problems with your liver. There are studies concluding neither is good for endurance athletes during a hard exertion. Oh...yea...stay away from the Naproxen (Aleve) as well... |

New user ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Hello team, am less than a week away from marathon. It is going to be a beautiful experience. I enjoy being surrounded by people who know they are Champions. The Champions who know it press past, failure, fear, doubt, obstacles, and anxiety to realize their dreams. They put in the painful hours, the hard work and they forgo instant gratification in order to experience ultimate satisfaction. |

Foam roller! The calves are tough to roll, but runnersworld.com has some good videos of how to do it. I have the worlds largest, tightest calves... I get that ache on the outside of my right calf when I do a lot of running tired. I tend to clomp a bit on the outside of my right foot... running too heavy. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Received my wetsuit yesterday. I got into it, and I got out of it. I can't imagine going through that soaking wet and tired though. It is one thing I can practice with a sore foot though! Any tips? I look like a gingerbread person in it, btw. not pretty. |

Being wet helps. Also using Body Glide on places where it is especially tight like wrists and legs helps quite a bit. Hate them, love them. Thinking about getting a sleeveless because I hate the arms so much. Also, I get so hot in mine with sleeves. Overheating in the water with no way to vent is not a happy time.
