Master  2355    Houston, TX |  Subject: RE: TexasMPGal/Smilford/Mattb1's "Faster and Stronger in 2010" Crew (CLOSED)What I do for trainer is I put it on universal sports, mute it and toss on my ipod. Then I usually have a set interval workout to do, so I'm just focused on the next 2-10minutes and not the whole or or so I'm on the trainer. Makes it easier to get through the trainer rides.  |

Master 2355 Houston, TX | Subject: RE: TexasMPGal/Smilford/Mattb1's "Faster and Stronger in 2010" Crew (CLOSED) First week back to normal life of the new year. Now is the time to get right on schedule and make it a routine of getting up a bit earlier to get a morning workout in. Have at it! |

Master 4119 Toronto Bronze member | Subject: RE: TexasMPGal/Smilford/Mattb1's "Faster and Stronger in 2010" Crew (CLOSED) Morning team! I was up somewhat early for a quick trainer ride. Happy to get it in! Will swim tonight and such. But you're right, training goes so much more smoothly when morning workouts happen. :D What's going on for everyone? Jen |

Elite 2998 Fishers, Indiana | Subject: RE: TexasMPGal/Smilford/Mattb1's "Faster and Stronger in 2010" Crew (CLOSED) I am back on a schedule--first goal, Lonestar 70.3 on 25 April; second goal, San Diego Marathon on 6 June. Despite just laying in bed for a bit, I got up and out of bed and was running by 0500. It was 28 degrees here, and for us Texans that is just COLD. Thursday it's supposed to be in the teens!?!? Holy smokes!! Good job Jen and Hilde for getting up and at 'em! It's time to get faster and stronger! |

Master 2355 Houston, TX | Subject: RE: TexasMPGal/Smilford/Mattb1's "Faster and Stronger in 2010" Crew (CLOSED) Well my body is falling apart, though nothing major. Hurt my foot on yesterdays run and I still want to hold out on cycling due to my knee issue from the other day. So I figured I could swim today at least right? Well... no, the pool is closed. :\ Edited by smilford 2010-01-04 12:42 PM |

Well... no, the pool is closed. :\ Be careful with pain behind your knee. I strained my Popliteus Muscle (small muscle that runs from just above the calf to just below the hamstring and controls lateral knee rotation). I rested it for a week tried to run on it and pulled it again. I haven't run in 5 weeks now, lots of ART and Gratson. This week I'm just getting back into running doing walking for 10 minutes and run for 400 meters at an easy pace, walk for 5 minutes run 400, etc... If it is the same thing I had don't mess around with it and let it heal. I was ok to cycle with it though. |

They have some great workouts in there! Lots of good tips coming in. I have done several, more like scores, of hours upon the trainer due to early morning/later night rides and some bad weather days, or workdays where I have to be reachable (how's 5.5 hours on a trainer--it is doable my friend, doable!). I typically watch TV--for longer rides, action movies are the best for me in that OR any good triathlon on TV cause them I'm really motivated. Some good rocking music works too! |

Master 2355 Houston, TX | Subject: RE: TexasMPGal/Smilford/Mattb1's "Faster and Stronger in 2010" Crew (CLOSED) Well I don't do many trainer rides actually. I bought lights last year to ride in the dark and I'll tough out most weather conditions. :p Edited by smilford 2010-01-04 8:59 PM |

Master 4119 Toronto Bronze member | Subject: RE: TexasMPGal/Smilford/Mattb1's "Faster and Stronger in 2010" Crew (CLOSED) morning team - it's another cold one here! Crea - very jealous of that trip to Florida you're taking. Though, they're complaining about the cold right now. I got up with a strength session on tap but i didn't feel like getting dressed for the gym so i did a short pilates core video. It's a good workout. Tonight I start some hills for my 30k race training! |

Right now it's 24 and on Thursday and Friday the morning temps are supposed to be in the teens... you KNOW we are not used to that, we are such cold wimps! |

Should be good running weather for you. Although you probably were hoping for 70's. |

I've done 100 miles on the CompuTrainer before. I went through 6 episodes of 24 Season 3 from Netflix. It is one way to catch up on TV. |

I've done 100 miles on the CompuTrainer before. I went through 6 episodes of 24 Season 3 from Netflix. It is one way to catch up on TV. Yeah, it wasn't optimal or ideal, but it was right after the 5 Nov shootings at Ft. Hood and my MPs and I were on a short leash recall, and I had 100+ miles to do, so I rode away. Can't remember what all I watched, a few movies. So I got into the pool today after MUCH too long of a hiatus....gotta keep that trend going. Will be MOST happy when this cold has fully blown over. I can do workouts, but it's definitely making it a little difficult...blah! Okay--stay hard on the New Year folks--January is where you can get your routine going and set yourself up for the year! |

Master 4119 Toronto Bronze member | Subject: RE: TexasMPGal/Smilford/Mattb1's "Faster and Stronger in 2010" Crew (CLOSED) Good morning! Whoa! We're on page 2 - i wondered where we went. Happy to report that i am doing very well. I was worried that my gym's pool would be crammed with morning swimmers given the new year but this morning it was less busy than before Christmas! YAY! I wasn't as fast as my monday swim and my left arm was a little creaky (it might be the way i sleep?) for a while but eventually I woke up! haha! And, i had the second snowy run of the year. Went out for a run in the blowing snow ... earned some hardcore points for that. It's also one of the slowest runs i've done in a very long time. Nothing to be done about it. Conditions wouldn't allow for a reasonable pace for the effort. I'll be doing tempo on the treadmill tomorrow where I don't have to worry about ice! All the races seem really far away right now. As does nice weather and more daylight ... |
