Jetpack's Group - FULL (Page 8)

Join the crowd. I just got out of a funk this past week. I wanted to eat everything in the fridge. Wasn't quite that bad but did eat bad this week. I have a problem with eating just to eat and not because I am hungry. Stick with it, nobody said it was going to be easy. I think you can't compair your training and heartrate with Jetpack. I ran just under 4 miles today and my avg. HR was 164 and my high was 172. I can't wlak down the street and have my heart rate low. Keep working at it and even though it is hard to see the results there are there.

 I also see the warm weather in the future and that mean running outside.

Weigh in tomorrow morning before my swim. See if I am closer to putting on my new rims.

Just thinking. Anybody else have bike porn they can display besides Jetpack. I will pop my new rims on and try and post some pictures tonight. ANYBODY ELSE game.

Also maybe post your dream bike picture next to you current bike.

Jetpack. What did your old bike look like?

Like this-

-  A Hypersonic Trek 1500 with afterburners and an onboard coffee maker (an option from the dealer).

I would love to see more pics from you guys...post em if ya got em.

Here you go. My winter set up. A little area in the basement. Still have my training wheel on the back to use with the roller. Kind of heavy big, 22lbs or so.

Profile clip on aero bars, Profile Design Seat. Simple Sora componets.

So Im here in Vegas.  Get up for some running this morning.   I have been eating junk for the last two days.  Pat - I know what your talking about....trust me!   I still fall victim to eat just to eat. 

So I go outside to run because I feel like crap for taking two days off.  Get outside at 7am.  It's 50 degrees.  All I have is my shorts and ciycling jersey to run in.  (A cycling jersey is a great thing to jog in because it has pockets in the back I can carry gel packs, room key, some cash etc...)

Get outside and I head south down the strip from the Monte Carlo.  SUCKED! I was so cold. My hands froze and the cold air in the my lungs gave me a mild asthma attack.  Managed 5 miles in 1:10:00.  I walked a portion of each mile.  Avg HR 125, max 165.  It would sky rocket when I started to jog.

Taking it easy now in the hotel room and I'm going to try again tonight on the hotel treadmill.  But it costs $20 to get into the gym here.  Oh well.  I guess that's what the craps table is for, making $$ right?   Gonna shoot for 8 miles.

Some links my fiance Kelley found the other day that I wanted to share with you guys.

Heart Rate Training for Improved Running Performance

Heart Rate Training Zones - My favorite one.

Endurance Training.

Stick with it buddaha. It's a lot easier to put it on than take it off. Try doing weight watchers or something like this. My wife and I do this. It keeps you accountable for what you eat. Helps me seeing it on paper for what you eat for the day.

Went swimming this morning and am feeling more confident with my stroke. Feels good as long I think about it. Otherwise I start to slap the water and not smooth in the water.

Official weight in today 199.

I will,  the answer is - As long as it takes.

Very zen like answer huh ?   Budda I'll venture to say that first you must define for yourself what a high level of fitness is....for you.  Will you or I ever run a sub 20 min 5k. NEVER!  But alot of people at a high level of fitness do.  THEY MAKE ME SICK

So knowing that, Enjoy the journey the most on the way to your "high level" of fitness.  Most of you all pretty much have seen that I live by "less is more" in training.  One day your going to wake up fit as a fiddle and feel great.  Maybe you already do.  That's great.  And that's the most important thing.  So just know that the things we are doing here, just a couple times a week, there are MILLIONS of people that will never do those things ever in their ENTIRE life. 

Don't shoot for a high level of fitness..shoot for a high level of living life.  My fiance asked Mike Ricci (Coach from D3 Multi Sports) in Boulder CO, what he was training for.....without missing a beat he replied, "I'm training for life".  How awesome!

Tyler,

I'll be done with those DVD's in the next day or so. Who's the next on the list? I'll also need an address.

By the way those are very dangerous, every time I watch on I want to go out and run a marathon.

George.

-----------------------

Adamo,

 Your next for the dvd's.  Going to PM Budda your address so he can send them to you.

-------------------

A couple of things here Tyler -

 #1 - I don't prescribe to Max HR % for HRs - per your links. Read this thread:
http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=25733&start=1

#2 - I have coached a few people from 30 minute 10k to 21-22 minutes - so can someone who runs 25-28 minutes run under 19:xx? Absolutely. Never say never. ;-)

Just my $0.02

Any other bike porn we can see. lets see the bikes in all their glory.
