| 62 | Subject: RE: Chet's Group is out doing it!- Closed Happy sunday everyone! Great run through the snow in my local forest this morning. Nice to look at but tough to run in. Change of plan for my "A" race this year. All nearby half ironman races are at bad times for me so am planning a different type of triathlon where the third event is kayaking instead of swimming. It goes coast to coast in Scotland with two foot sections two bike sections and two kayak sections. Total of 105 miles about 50% off road. Takes place in September so lots to do before then to get ready. Planning to take part in some regular triathlons through the summer though so will be sticking around for advice and help with those if thats ok. Going to try those drills you mentioned as I really need to work my swimming technique. Still getting passed in the pool alot! Have a good day! Ross Edited by eejit 2011-01-09 9:00 AM |

New user 19 | Subject: RE: Chet's Group is out doing it!- Closed Sheila - congrats, looking for all the details. Thanks for the swim tips. I plan on incorporating those drills into my workouts. Today I am off on a 10 mile trail run in the National Forest. Yesterday we did a nice 15 mile mountain bike ride with nearly 3000 ft of climbing. Unfortunately we had a huge amount of storm damage from the recent rain storms here in So. California. It will be a minor miracle if they can get the course ready for my race in April. |

| 62 | Subject: RE: Chet's Group is out doing it!- Closed I found this and thought it kind of funny. For the record URTI is Upper Respiratory Tract Infection. Triathlon training after URTIs Is this guidance for you? This advice is for normal triathletes. It is assumed that at the first onset of sneezing and shivers, you did a long easy ride (3-4hrs), just in case. You have spent the next 48hrs under a duvet & now wish to train again, as surely no virus can last this long. And you’ve used up your rest day. Pre-training assessment have you passed urine in the last 24hrs? If yes, hydration status is good. Resting pulse under 100bpm? If yes, you are fine to train normally. You do not need to read further. Resting pulse over 120bpm? This is good. You are already in zone 2 without moving. You can do intervals. Get 2 extra duvets and 2 hot water bottles. Lie under the duvets with the bottles for 5mins (or until HR 150) and then have 2mins recovery. Repeat for one hour. NB if you still have a spouse, & if your spouse still cares whether you live or die, ask them to check you every 20mins for delirium. Resting pulse 100-120 – a grey area. Option 1 Take items one and two from the premed list (below) with a litre of water. Your pulse should be below 100 in about 60mins. To be on the safe side, don’t measure it again. Option 2 – double or triple the doses of items 5 & 6 on the premed list. You can then proceed as for HR >120. Training pre-medication paracetamol 1g ibuprofen 800mg Nasal steroid, 2 squirts each nostril. If completely blocked, use Sinex first. Seretide 250 MDI 2-10 puffs as needed. Sudafed 120mg Ventolin nebule 5mg. Benolin chesty cough &/or pholcodeine Vicks vaporub – apply liberally. Training Running is preferred, as it gets the phlegm up so much better. Drive somewhere remote, to avoid witnesses. Don’t go to a Gym, face planting on a treadmill is embarrassing. Set your HRM alarm at 135, to ensure an easy session. Turn it off again 30 secs later – obviously faulty. Listen to your body as you run – but ignore chest pain, that’s just a bit of tracheitis. And ignore SOB, this is a training session after all. You may stop to vomit, if necessary. A fast irregular but strongish pulse is probably AF. Ignore this unless you are veering to one side as you run, in which case you may have had a stroke. Aphasia shouldn’t be a problem as you already have dysphonia from laryngitis. A fast irregular weak pulse associated with dizziness or loss of consciousness is probably VT. You may be overtraining. If still alive, try a praecordial thump. A slow heart rate is either an inferior MI or hypothermia. If the former, slow down, if the latter, speed up. An absent pulse means you have died (or your HRM sensor can’t cope with Vicks). If you are already an Ironman, then it’s not too bad. If you’ve entered your first later this year, it’s a bit of a bugger. If your first IM was a DNF last year……oh dear. Recovery You might want to remain NBM for a couple of hours, in case the ambulancemen want to take you in. If you can find his number, phone your cardiologist. He’ll remember you from when you did this last winter. Do not download your HRM data onto the computer, in case your spouse finds it. Enter manually: 55mins easy run, ave HR 134. Plan tomorrow’s session – a pool swim has the advantage of lifeguards and a nearby defib. |

Expert 653 Henderson, NV | Subject: RE: Chet's Group is out doing it!- Closed Ross - Your "A" race sounds exciting and like a lot of fun. Definitley stick around and keep us updated. Also, I've been a paramedic for 16 years and loved the post  Robert - Money is a great motivater! I am sure the race director will come up with something. |

Expert 653 Henderson, NV | Subject: RE: Chet's Group is out doing it!- Closed Another question for the group. What is your favorite leg of a triathlon? What is your least favorite? Love the run, bike needs work for me. To get better, I need to train more on the bike. What has been happening is that I keep running because I am more comfortable doing it. |

Love the run, bike needs work for me. To get better, I need to train more on the bike. What has been happening is that I keep running because I am more comfortable doing it. Ross- Loved the post. I have been in Surgery for the past 13yrs and will have to share this. Chet- I would have to say that I don't have a most favorite leg or worst. I am not a good swimmer but improving. I guess I could say that the swim scares me the most on the start. The transitions need some work and that is a focus this season. The bike is fun. I guess I like this a bit more than the swim or run, but I could be a bit more focused on the power and hydration during this leg. The run always starts painful for me, it's just a thingy I get through. I will use my new acronym this year, which is HTFU. The whole sock discussion has me thinking about longer tris though. BTW, the tri training starts in march and I am thinking about checking it out. It's every Sat for 11weeks. This will be my first official clinic of sorts. Any tips on looking for a clinic I should avoid? |

| 62 | Subject: RE: Chet's Group is out doing it!- Closed Swim is probably the strongest leg of the triathlon for me. After that it's the run and then the bike. But in terms of what I LIKE the least, that has to be the run. It's almost always a suffer-fest I can't wait to finsh. |

Expert 653 Henderson, NV | Subject: RE: Chet's Group is out doing it!- Closed My peak week for mileage for my marathon training this week. Starting off with a slow and easy six this morning and finishing with 22 on Saturday. 52 miles total for the week. I know this is a little low for the time I am aiming for but this is the mileage that works for me. Anything over that and I start breaking down. Jeff- The clinics and groups are great. They get you out there and make it fun. The only thing I would watch out for is if you are paying money, you want some instruction. Watch out for "too easy" and "too social". Ideally there would be people with your same skill set that will push you. Then you can slam the hammer down! David - Rest days are important! It is when your body is building strength. I know what you mean though |

Expert 1051 Bradenton, Florida | Subject: RE: Chet's Group is out doing it!- Closed 2 hour run today, covered 12.6 miles and the first 3 were SLOW!!! At this rate I should easily be able to break the 2 hour mark at the Sarasota Half Marathon. The pic is of the nature preserve where I ran today.  |

Yeah David check it out (O;ympic Plan) and tell what you think. If you would mate, give me feedback on the pros and cons. All is appreciated. |

I know what you mean though Chet- Great tips. Gotta keep those in mind. Yes, I paid $125 for the entire 11 weeks, too much? Chris- nice place to run. Good effort on pace. Yes, if you keep that up you will be sub 2hrs for your half. |

Expert 653 Henderson, NV | Subject: RE: Chet's Group is out doing it!- Closed Chris - looks like a beautiful place! I believe you will have no problem with 2 hours. You should have a race strategy before the race and CRUSH that course. Jeff - $11 for a day of coaching sounds very reasonable. It could be very helpful later. |

Regular 79 Henderson | Subject: RE: Chet's Group is out doing it!- Closed Hello, wow..havent been on since last week. Lots to catch up on but first.....I completed my first HM on Saturday in 2:18!! I was so happy with that. I felt great the whole run. Felt amazing afterwards. Today the legs are a bit sore but overall awesome. Got to see Chet out there too, great run Chet. You did awesome. The best part was that you were at the finish line. I wasnt expecting anyone that I know to be there so when I heard "Go Sheila" and then realized it was you that was AWESOME. Thank you! Great to see Jill again and your kids are so cute. So my next event, at least "big" event will be my 1st TRI. I went to the rec center and got in the pool this morning. Swimming is what I will need to train the most in. I will probably be doing some planned event runs here and there but it's all about TRI between now and April 30th. Going to get caught up and reply to all the posts I missed. I'll try to post some pictures. |

At this rate I should easily be able to break the 2 hour mark at the Sarasota Half Marathon. The pic is of the nature preserve where I ran today. Nice pic!! I love running in places like that, especially long slow runs. I followed the 1:59 HM plan in Jeff Galloways running book for my HM last year, he gets you to do long, slow runs with walk intervals every 2 weeks building to 27k. In the intervening weekends you do 800m repeats at race pace. I followed his plan and ran it in 1hr 55, the long slow runs seem to be the important factor and doing them only every 2 weeks helps avoid injuries (I'm a very injury prone runner!!!) |

Regular 79 Henderson | Subject: RE: Chet's Group is out doing it!- Closed Chris, Im alot nervous about the wetsuit and OWS as well. My problem I noticed the coule times I have swam in the open water was actually lifting my head, lol. Next thing I knew I was way of the course. Follow feet sounds good to me. I like " Slow is smooth....Smooth is fast"! Thanks Chet. My son is a HS wrestler. He is a junior. I dread every tourny, it is brutal out there on them mats! Glad everyone was ok.

I don't know what my fav part is yet? Right now I'd say the bike only b/c I love riding, cant wait to get my new bike and running is hard but enjoyable and swimming I suck at so far. | 2011-01-10 8:57 PM in reply to: #3256537 |

Member 31 Amsterdam | Subject: RE: Chet's Group is out doing it!- Closed Hey... sorry for the long silence... I haven't done as much training as I hoped: in the 2 weeks since I last posted, I only ran twice (~35 minutes/run). Lack of discipline is the only reason I haven't run much, since I've got all of the equipment I need to do it locally. I'll work on that this upcoming week... |
