Extreme Veteran  333  |  Subject: RE: Swim motion sicknessTobey91 - 2010-01-15 4:51 AM So I have a rather odd question to pose to the group: Last night I got in the pool for the second time since October. (I have been focusing on running this winter.) I did 1500 meters at a steady pace, trying to focus on bilateral breathing and keeping my elbow high. The workout itself felt fine. But when I got out of the pool, I felt nauseous. It was almost like I was seasick or motion sick. I had intended to do a brick ride, but that neuseous feeling prevented me from doing more than about 15 minutes on the bike. And it actually persisted for the next couple hours until I went to bed. Has anyone else experienced this sort of thing? Any idea on the causes or ways to prevent/mitigate it? Thanks -William Earplugs worked like a charm. Thanks everyone. William |

Master 1539 Sin City | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN- Miles and Miles ahead!!!! CLOSED *following Suzy's horn tooting * It's my turn TOOT TOOT! I went for the swim today with swim coaches...and boy did they kick . :-) All I did today was drills after drills. I've swallowed a lot of icky water and some has been pouring out of my nose a lot...but I *think* I'm starting to get the rotations idea. I realized that the entire time that I was swimming on my own, I rotated too little to my side and kept my head straight down. As the last few 25 meters, I am starting to "get it". Correct me if I'm wrong... Basically you keep your body rotating to side to side when you do a stroke (body parallel to the side of the pool), not just stroking over your head while your body is parallel to the floor of the pool, plus keep your elbows high. Right? |

Master 1539 Sin City | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN- Miles and Miles ahead!!!! CLOSED Suzy - Hope you have fun in your Bike Maintenance class! I won 3rd place for fastest tire change...and it was only my 2nd time. LOL! Onward to my question....and what a newbie runner question! What is considered hill repeats?! Where I live, is all flat. However, at the park where I ran recently - and I feel so much better (and faster btw), on the dirt trail instead of road - They have a very short hill - maybe 1.5 to 2% hill grade, and only about 100 or so feet. If I go up and down that hill, is that considered hill repeats or do I need to find a longer hill? AND - why the hill repeats? I know that sometimes when I walk up a hill my Achilles tendon tend to hurt a lot, I suspect probably no training/stretching in that area, and doing the hill repeats will stretch that a little bit making it easier to go up hills. Am I right? Lastly - when you go up the hills do you just go on the ball of your feet, or use the entire foot to go up the hills but lean body forward? |

Expert 1027 | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN- Miles and Miles ahead!!!! CLOSED Well I got the PT up and running today for a workout. Unfortunately, I think that the guy I purchased it from may have been mis-informed that it was updated to be ANT+ capable, so I will have some fun working things out with him. For now I will be using the little yellow computer as I have figured out how to get the data into PowerAgent... finally, and then import over to Sport Tracks. The one thing I noticed was that the power it was displaying was around 5% below what the trainer equation came out to. Meaning my FTP is probably about 5% higher than I expected, Since I restarted my plan this week(despite being sick) it will take me right up to my first race of the season. This means I will be doing both a 20 min and 5 min TT test again next week now that I have the PT. Still coughing like crazy and still stuffed up in the sinuses a little, but I felt strong on the bike. Two little tweaks tonight on the bike (flipped my stem over and raised it a bit, and angled the whole cockpit up a bit further, made it more comfortable on the arms/shoulders. Thanks for that suggestion! |

Champion 7163  Verona WI--Ironman Bike Country! | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN- Miles and Miles ahead!!!! CLOSED DJ If you can get past the corny factor, this video has some great information regarding hill repeats. I fear the hill you are describing is not going to be long or steep enough. What about Red Rock? My one caveat with hill running is it CAN be really tough on the body if you go at it with too much zeal. I did that this summer when training for a very hilly HIM and it took quite a long time to recover from those sessions. One other thought is you could also try a TM hill workout like the one described here. Suzy CyborgQueen - 2010-01-16 7:48 PM Suzy - Hope you have fun in your Bike Maintenance class!

Master 1675 Suwanee, Ga. | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN- Miles and Miles ahead!!!! CLOSED I can echo what Suzy said about the hills wearing on the body. I did 8 x100m repeats on Thursday...a LITTLE too aggressively  and my legs are still trashed and I have a 13 miler tomorrow that I am not looking forward to.Build s l o w l y into hills...all aspects, grade-distance-speed-etc..

Sounds *sarcasm here* like a great video, but kind of useless for me...can't understand. Moi deaf.

Kind of like if you know a few Japanese words and you go to Japan and you can pick up words that you know, but the rest is just mumble jumble...that's what it's like for me. Red Rock is a good idea, especially in some of the hills that I know is pretty good and steep, and long. I can do that when I start putting it in my training (I think it's too early in the training to consider doing extra stuff...right now I want to make friends with my feet and the trail and try to go 3 miles without walking first!).

At least we are heading to the pool now. Is this what you people without kids do? Awesome. I remember in our PK days (pre-kiddos)... Hubby and I trained for a marathon together (Napa, 1998). We'd do our long run on Sunday, then go out to a restaurant that served insanely huge portions. We'd split three entrees (we'd each order salty and then split a sweet) and clean our plates. Then we'd come home and turn on football... and take naps on the couch all afternoon long. Don't remember dinner but it was probably pizza. Any wonder that we both weigh about 15 pounds less than we did then?! Now when I train for a marathon (or other), I start my long run early enough to get home in time to be a good family member. Make my typical breakfast (smoothie) and spend the day being a mother and wife... Even if that means being active (again) -- hikes, bike rides, soccer, trampoline double-bouncing, etc. Sleep happens only at night. And yeah, I weigh about 15 pounds less (withouth trying). |

Expert 1027 | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN- Miles and Miles ahead!!!! CLOSED Well, I am at a loss for what to do as I have not figured out my PT issues communicating with my 310. I am going to try and contact Saris tomorrow as I am not sure what else to do. It is supposed to be updated to ANT+, but the firmware the computer had installed was not of appropriate level for ANT capabilities. Looks like its going to be time to file a complaint and see if I can get refunded some more cash since it was advertised as having been updated. Did 1:20 on the bike today it said z2-z3, man thats a huge power range, I hovered in the middle of the range for the most part, carrying about 210 watts average for the workout, not quite the 260 that the 20/5 min TTs indicated. I followed it up with a recovery run... that wasnt so recovery and more around LT, but it felt awesome. I averaged 8:30 miles over 4.1 miles, and man did it feel good to be outside! Time to kick back and watch some football and enjoy the night. |

Expert 801 Oklahoma City | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN- Miles and Miles ahead!!!! CLOSED Hey!!! HUGE breakthrough for me today. I was able to run 2 miles WITHOUT walking today! I couldn't believe it. I fully expected to go out there and run/walk/run/walk all the while feeling my lungs exploding like I did Tuesday. Well....it didn't happen! When I sat out for the run I remember what all of you wonderful people told me about pacing myself...that I may have started running faster than what I was used to on the TM because the TM kept pace for me. So I purposely went super slow...and in two miles was finished with my run sans walking - HR at 158 (I think I can run further if I keep HR under 160), and I actually felt like I could run further, but didn't want to injure myself. I am so happy and excited! I was pretty bummed after last Tuesday's transition from TM to outdoors, and you all helped me through it. Mentor program is definitely working for me, and I have all of you to thank! Trina P.S. Also got a new road bike today. Will be posting bike porn soon. |

We came back to Katy and ate breakfast at IHOP.....then to Coldstone Creamery this afternoon....totally wrecked our diets.....but, back on the program tomorrow.

HOLY COW!! Congratulations! That is awesome!!! And dayum, but my husband pulled off a 1:50 in his first half mary. That's sort-of my PR... but really, truly my PR is a 1:49 and change. But the particular race where I did that only goes with the gun time, no chip time. Not knowing that I was 20-30 seconds back from the start... So my husband is still giving me credit for being faster, but really he crushed his race. I'm proud (but envious!) of him! |

We came back to Katy and ate breakfast at IHOP.....then to Coldstone Creamery this afternoon....totally wrecked our diets.....but, back on the program tomorrow. We plan to run the Rodeo 5K at the end of February and decided a stop at IHOP after a 5K is now a family tradition. Two teenagers wanting to do more of these together......PRICELESS! A great day down here in Houston. A nice run with a little over 17 minutes off my previous best, 1:56:12. ya got me sam....for now. RR here. LOVE IT!!! by far, the best race of the weekend. i am so happy for you and your family glen! we'll meet up soon enough. maybe rodeo run. apparently someone around here needs to help you find 1 second. ;-) IHOP rocks! |
