Master 1420 Reston, VA | Subject: RE: Your Top 3 Offseason Goals: What & How? 1) Build up run durability which should translate to speed. Run 4-5x per week and build mileage up to 35/week. 2) Raise FTP 7%. Bike 3x per week on the trainer - intervals + commute to work at least 1x per week. 3) Drop 1 second/100yd in the swim. Swim 3x per week concentrating on the front part of my stroke (less catch up, immediate drop of my hand once fully extended) and head position (slightly lower). |

| Champion 7495 Schwamalamadingdong! | Subject: RE: Your Top 3 Offseason Goals: What & How? i feel like the last two years have been my off-season... 1) Start running again. i bought running shoes last night. Now i have to build up my walking time in them. Once i get to 30 minutes of walking being something i can repeat day after day, i will start run/walking. 2) Get back on the bike. Follow the beginner cycling program here on BT. Ride while watching football. Ride while watching movies. Whatever. Just ride. 3) Get back in the pool. Hopefully my foot won't swell up this time.  |

| Expert 1123 Falls Church, VA | Subject: RE: Your Top 3 Offseason Goals: What & How? 1) Get faster on the run (See #2 for part of it..) but increase mileage to about 25-30mpw with close to half of that being trail miles (weather permitting) (already working! 5 mile race I did pretty well against the field and I'm just starting out on the build) 2) Improve Bike fitness. Ride 3x per week, trying to build to an average 6 hours/week on the bike. Weather permitting, go on as many group/night rides as possible. (this one will be tough with the weather.. but I only did 1 hour spin class/week last winter, so even 3 hours a week is more consistent. 3) Get OW swim times to line up better with my pool times. I could do consistent 1:40's in the pool last year, but barely get 2:00/100 in OW. I think it was because I had only just scratched that speed so this year it's about being consistent and doing flip turns, as I noticed I was too used to grabbing teh side of a pool every 25 and take an extra breath. Get to consistent 1:35-1:40's using 2 beat kick and do all flip turns from now on. |

| Regular 61 Abbotsford BC, Canada | Subject: RE: Your Top 3 Offseason Goals: What & How? 1. Swim: now that I know how to swim without my head out of the water like an eager terrier fetching a stick, swim 700 metres without stopping, so far only 75m 2. Bike: keep doing very tough spin classes with the ladies (mostly) until I buy the bike and gear I need 3. Run: stay paranoid about injury and keep walking much more than running until I get sub 200 lbs (223 today down form 238) Overall: weight loss, injury free |
