Expert  1180    Iowa |  Subject: What's Your Favorite Workout?Inside Triathlon magazine usually has a column where they ask the pros for their favorite workout. It's usually something like a 9,000 yard swim, followed by a hill workout on the bike - usually some place like Pike's Peak. Well this month, I'm offering the magazine my favorite workout. It's a brick ... a 35-mile bike ride at 75% max heart rate, follwed by a steady 4 mile run, also at 75%. What's yours? Edited by triman50 2005-07-11 8:00 PM |

Pro 3870  Virginia Beach, VA | Subject: RE: What's Your Favorite Workout? I like my big gear intervals with a hard tansition run. 4x15min @ 65-70rpm with 2min recovery spin @ 90+ rpm followed by a Z3 4-mile run at about 10k race pace. Gets the burn going in my legs and simulates race conditions. |

Elite Veteran 777 flatland | Subject: RE: What's Your Favorite Workout? Nothing better stop me from doing my long slow run. I look forward to it all week. I love running for distance...I'm not close yet, but I will definitely be a marathoner when I grow up. |

Veteran 277 Spartanburg | Subject: RE: What's Your Favorite Workout? I must not be as hardcore as all you guys... My favorite Workout is on weighttraining days...I love the feeling of lifting something heavy and seeing if i can handle it..getting to 12 is a great feeling because then i get to up my stakes and lift more... And i dont feel like i'm going to hyperventilate, fall, or drown... |

Master 1359 South of SLC | Subject: RE: What's Your Favorite Workout? Oh man, do I love taking off on a Saturday morning and riding for about 5 hours. I love it in the heat, in the cold, in the wind, in the rain and in any weather that gets tossed my way. It all will make you stronger. But, I also love bricks -- good hard runs after a two to three hour bike. I love the feeling you get when you look down at your watch and you know you are flying because of all of the work you have put in that week. Mike |

Elite 3020 Bay Area, CA | Subject: RE: What's Your Favorite Workout? Swimming. Just swimming. Especially OW swimming. Not having sets, or times, just out there in the water. I can get into a rhythm and it feels like I'm meditating almost. Note: only in nice water, no icky green things growing in it. |

Pro 3870 Virginia Beach, VA | Subject: RE: What's Your Favorite Workout? A 13 mile track workout? Honestly sounds unnecessarily long for speed work...even for IM/marathon training.

Expert 773 | Subject: RE: What's Your Favorite Workout? Even a bad day on the bike is better than a great day off the bike, but I really look forward to my group rides. There's nothing like being in the middle of a paceline. You trusting the rider in front of you and the rider on your rear wheel trusting you, especially downhill. A good paceline is poetry in motion. |

I did this as a part of marathon training. Nothing like doing repeats on a pitch black track at 5 AM. I would use this workout as a mid-length run in the middle of the week. Mind you I would work up to this distance over the course of about 4 months. |

| Veteran 221 | Subject: RE: What's Your Favorite Workout? 3 quarter, quarter. On the track. Run 3 quarters of a mile at 75% race pace (basing on a 5k time). Then a 100m jog into an all out quarter then jog for a quarter mile recovery then do it 2 more times. I love it. Teaches me how to changes gears for the final 400m in the race. |

Elite 3223 Hendersonville | Subject: RE: What's Your Favorite Workout? The long ride. It's the best. The long run is good too. It's also great to "get" to do a fast zone 3-4 run after months of zone 1-2 base building. Jessica |
