Elite  4108   Calgary,AB,Canada |  Subject: RE: SWBKRUN- Miles and Miles ahead!!!! CLOSEDsoccermom15 - 2010-01-08 7:36 AM OK, so what would the MG do?  I'm supposed to run a 5k tomorrow morning - it's the 3rd race in the Frostbite Series that I've been running with my daughter (she's not going to run this one). The temp will be somewhere between 0-5*F at race start time. Winds are supposed to have calmed down by then so hopefully the WC won't be too bad. This is the first winter since I started running that I've been trying to run outside and not do all my runs on the TM, so I'm not used to running in these kind of cold temps. I have enough winter running stuff to keep me warm during the run - it's the mental side that I'm having trouble with. Just the idea of running in those temps is freaking me out. Part of me says 'suck it up - once you get going you'll be fine' and the other part says 'you're nuts to even consider it'. So which part do I listen to? Just curious as to what you guys would do. Janet HTFU.....I tell my wife, "Put a toque and suck it up!!" I actually enjoy running in the cold versus really hot weather. You'll be surprised how overdressed you probably will be. I always try to dress for a few degrees cooler than it is. You will warm up. It will definitely break up the monotony of running on a TM. YOU'RE HARDCORE JANET -- DO IT!!! |

Elite 4108 Calgary,AB,Canada | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN- Miles and Miles ahead!!!! CLOSED tri-chic - 2010-01-08 7:17 AM I think I'm am having the post holiday stress disorder. Stress from having to go to work a whole 5 days this week. Today I have a longish trainer ride because for once it's actually COLD (don't laugh...the high is 36 today). Soooo, I'm taking movie suggestions for what I need to pick up at Block Buster to get me through. I saw Chick Flicks last weekend. Action is probably a good choice to keep me peddling. Let me know what you've seen that's worth your time. Happy Friday! Kelly Get a James Bond..Casino Royale or the new one(name escapes me). You get the action, plus a little Daniel Craig if you are into that kind of stuff. Not an action, but The Hangover is awesome. Not for everyone, but great for us immature guys. |

CLOSED jvanis - 2010-01-08 7:24 AM Happychick - 2010-01-08 12:36 AM I love seeing numbers/data but am sooooo not a technical person ~ not a good combo, I know! Needless to say, following is probably a question that I should already know the answer to. However, I've been wanting something for my bike that tells me a bit more than just distance (my garmin tells me that) but (as much as I hate to admit) I am clueless. Again, I have a garmin 305 so I'm not worried about something that will tell me HR. I've been asking around and have found everything from $40-$thousands. What is the dealio with this? What is the difference between a powertap and a Cyclocomputer/cadence sensor besides $1500??? I forget the webpage off hand, but they used to sell a wired PT setup laced into a rim for about 600. if you're interested in a wired pt, below is from an email i sent out a few days ago. hope it helps. so i spent some time today talking to saris (paul) and wheelbuilder (eric) eric about power tap's, in particular, the pt comp. fwiw, i've seen of few of the bike people on BT speak highly or eric. here's what i have.
wheelbuilder will build the comp on the DT Swiss 585 (formerly the 1.2) for $674. they are in stock. they are not listed on the website though so you have to call and talk to them. |

Champion 6973 marietta | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN- Miles and Miles ahead!!!! CLOSED dalessit - 2010-01-07 8:50 PM well I guess I answered a personal question I had about how hard I train. I keep thinking that I tend to give up before putting my body in any stress. Tonights workout on the trainer. 15 minutes ez 4 x 30 second accelerations 5:00 all out TT (go as hard as possible) 10 minute recovery 2 x 1:00 all out TT 5:00 recovery (I threw up in my mouth a bit during the recovery, nice huh?) 3 x 20 second sprint (tremendous calf cramp when I stood up to sprint started yelling for Sam because I couldn't move, afraid I was going to fall over, she had to come help me get off the bike.) Never finished the first 20 second sprint or final recovery. Typing this my legs are trembling. Best 20 seconds: 484 watts (never got to do a real 20 sec trial) Best 60 seconds: 450 watts 5:00 TT: 283 watts (lame...) I need to go through my file and see if there are any issues in that 5:00 TT, I am pretty sure I never got below 300 watts. My PT sometimes seems to drop for a few seconds. Best 5:00 camel. great job! |

Champion 6973 marietta | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN- Miles and Miles ahead!!!! CLOSED Plainsman AU - 2010-01-07 10:33 PM So last night I was in Atlanta and Steve (Reno8) and I met for an adult beverage and some dinner. Talked about a little BT...some of your ears were probably burning a little. Yes, you know who you are  Will definitely take him up on the offer to cook next trip to the ATL.On a good note, I went to The Big Peach Running Co. yesterday. (Everything in Ga has something to do with a peach being that it is the peach state.) The sales guy put me on an electronic measuring device which measured my arches. Arches were middle of the scale, and I always thought they were flat. He then video taped my stride and mechanics in slow motion. He said I had a neutral foot strike, where other shoe stores had put me in the pronator category. He said that my feet turn out a little, and may look like they pronate with the naked eye, but upon analysis in slo mo, he determined that I should be in a neutral shoe. This may have been a contributor to my ITB injury. Ran 4 miles today (before my 2100 swim) with no pain, so I am going to ease into a little more running and hope for the best. AWESOME! but stop talking about treacee |

I went to bed feeling fine, but when I woke up my legs now feel like crap! Well, today is a swim and strength day and I don't run (my long weekly run) until Sunday, Hopefully I can recover. Doug Thanks for posting!! Sorry you got attacked during the night, but somewhat glad to know others get that, um, warm and tingly feeing the next day too! :-) FWIW, I LOVE to swim when I am physically beat up, esp. in the legs. That non-impact stuff, and the gentle stretching/waking up of hips and ankles really feels loverly to me. Hopefully your strength is of the upper-body variety. And again, great job yesterday!! |

I agree...RUN IT! Ditto. x3 or 4 - wherever my post falls. I'd do a short (half or full mile-sih) warm-up run before your race. That'll help your body get warmed up and your lungs prepared. You may even find then that you're overdressed - which is a good place to figure that out, rather than during the run. When you do your WU run, plan to be done about 10-15 minutes before your race start time. Then your body will just start to feel the cold again, so running will warm you up and actually feel great! Go get it! |

Master 1539 Sin City | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN- Miles and Miles ahead!!!! CLOSED Hey folks! I would like to get an overall answer. I never had a coach in my life or even looked for one (why do I need a coach for being a couch potato?  ).I was recommended a swim session that is 4 weeks with coaching, and emailing back and forth for swim workouts and times, etc. It's $75 for the 4 weeks. Lmk what you think. I don't want to do it and find that it's considered expensive, and I could have looked elsewhere. As far as I know, I've read that many many people get swim coach over anything else, and it's considered valuable...but I'm just concerned about the price, is it fair? The gym I go to has Swim 101 classes (and even Triathlon class!! fun!), and since it's included in my monthly price (very cheap by the way), I don't need to pay extra...but it may be different from a coach that DOES triathlons/OWS. |

Master 1467 Small Town | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN- Miles and Miles ahead!!!! CLOSED CyborgQueen - 2010-01-08 1:14 PM It's $75 for the 4 weeks. The coaches that I've looked at are about that price per hour for short term. Then upwards of $500 a month for full support and training plans. I'd think about it! But you can always ask for references, especially if they call themselves a 'coach' Ask what certifications they have, how long they have been coaching as a one-on-one coach. What races or events they have done and when they did them. Make it a personal interview. They want your money and you want their knowledge - first I'd make sure they had the knowledge that I need. I'd also jump on the tri swim class. Sometimes they only end up being a person telling you, from the deck, what the next drill is, but that's better than not having any help! |
