Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() cobratodd - 2013-02-25 7:38 PM Question for the group: What is your typical 5k warmup ritual?(If you're running an all out race)I'm asking because I'm finding that as I train for longer runs, my short runs suffer, and it really takes longer to "warm up" for an all out sprint - is a 1/2 mile, mile, 20 minutes enough/too much? If I run out of my house I'll do 15 minutes light on the trainer. If I run out of the Y I'll do either a 15 minute light swim or 15 minutes on the elliptical. I'm talking recovery pace effort no matter what the warmup. |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Okay thanks for the input - it seems like 15 to 20 minutes is fine for a 5k - I've always been really bad about NOT doing any warmup running before a race,but this year I'm really trying to follow advice of those more experienced as well sticking to the training plan. Back to an earlier post, I wasn't sure what the difference was, or even what a TT start meant, but after reading up a bit, I now understand that difference. TT = wave start versus the traditional MASS start of the IM - yes, I'm in the slow group... I also see the issue with not having your finish photo reflect your actual time and that stinks. Last year at the Timberman, I was in wave 8 of 15 and with 4 minutes between waves, that's a 28 minute bust from the actual time, sure, it's only the photo, but then everyone you show it to, you'd have to explain the difference away - boo-hiss! I'd almost rather deal with the insanity of a mass start - after the first 30 minutes, the chaos must mellow out, to where swimming with 2,599 other Type A personalities is okay. I checked the IMLP website and the Swim page is still listing it as a MASS start - I guess there's not much you can do about it eitherway, so I'm not going to stress over it - they both have +'s and -'s.

Member ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() jarvy01 - 2013-02-26 6:45 AM 1:10 on trainer done and yoga and core this afternoon. I've adjusted to the new trainer, so that's good. I'm not sleeping very well at night lately, and I have no idea why. I'm more energetic than ever during the day, and I'm spending most of the day on my feet, chasing my kids around and doing housework. Maybe I'm overtired or something. Frederick's 3rd birthday is tomorrow. Can't believe my last baby is turning 3. Makes me feel so sad Aw I know! I saw a little 18 month old today and I thought "I could just eat him" he was so cute... I can't believe my kids were ever this little (my girl is almost 11 and my boy 8). Ack... I am worried about yr sis too....keep us posted. |

Very nice, Todd. Congratulations! You are fast! That is smoking, congrats.
Great!! It must feel like flying to run that fast |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I was getting dressed for my long run this morning (at 4:30 a.m.) and got a text from one of my younger sisters. My brother-in-law delivered my niece at 4 this morning. The midwives didn't make it there on time. My long run went really, really well, and I didn't get injured. Hooray! I've been sipping sports drink for my long runs, but I'm going to switch over to gels next week, as that's what I'll be using for my April and May HMs. 5 weeks until race time. Yay! |

Mile repeats this morning. Better than last week, so that's a good thing. I could use a nap now however. |

My biggest worry at this point is pacing. I have no doubt that my training will have me ready for both Galveston and Texas, but I'm pretty good at overcooking a bike. |

I'm debating if I want to do another HM or if I want to just focus on my HIMs which is really what this season is about for me. I could always do one in September after my second HIM. Come up to Maine in October for the Maine Marathon/half marathon. It's pretty, kind of challenging. I'm going to do it....not that is an incentive or anything. Are you doing the full or the half? I'll have to see what the fall soccer schedule looks like but if I wait until the fall I may go full marathon. http://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/798329 Course is reasonably flat. This is in North Hampton and I considered it last year. Same day but a lot closer for me. http://www.hamptonrockfest.com/ Even flatter! http://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/34776692
If you're looking to PR, I would push it further out than September. There are a ton of HMs in October to pick from. |

There are a ton of HMs in October to pick from. I think I could PR no problem in September. I tweaked a calf in the race I set my last PR in and couldn't push the second half of the race. If I wanted to shoot for a goal such as sub 1:40 no doubt I'd be much better off in October. The issue is I'd rather be building speed again on the bike in October than training for an HM. I'm pretty sure I know my 2014 plan already, unlike this year where it took me forever to nail it down. Charleston SC HIM in April, Timberman HIM in August and Beach to Battleship IM in October. So I'm not sure about a fall HM or marathon given that's what the long term goal is. I'm still mulling it over. Edited by everlong 2013-02-27 12:59 PM |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() There are so many pro-like inviduals on here that I feel like I don't belong in this group. I really need a group where it's primarily beginners not seasoned triathletes. I'm kinda of feeling my way and others talk about this drill, that training technique, this split, that brick. I'm lucky if I get in all three disciplines done in a week! Nothing against this group at all, but so much of what is posted goes over my head. I am not in the same league here. ![]() |

Anyway if you have a question about a drill ask away. We'd be more than willing to explain. We were all once just starting out too. The only way I gathered knowledge about the sport was by searching it out and asking those more seasoned than I. |

I think I've asked more questions than anyone else in this group. It's the only way you learn. Most days I still feel like a beginner. |
