Leah's Group - FULL (Page 4)

Hey everyone,

 I know that I haven't been on in a while but I have been trying to keep up with all of you on your blogs. I am having my gall bladder removed today so I will be out for a couple of days, but as soon as I can I will check back. I plan on bveing back to the workout schedule as soon as I can.

Hi All,

Wes, I hope the op went well and you are home recovering comfortably.

Pattie - my A race is also May 30.  I don't really have much planned for before then, but I will try to run a couple of local running races.  I am just now adding some speed work into my running, just getting back in the pool and I am trying to work consistently hard on the bike.  Although it never quite works out this way, I am aiming for 3-4 rides a week (all hard except for one easy ride) with most of them followed by a short (15 min) transistion run, 3-4 runs a week including 1 long run and 1 run with speed work and one run off the bike (this will follow my easier bike workout but doesn't count the 15 min transition runs).  All of my runs contain strides.  Two swims a week.  But I should add that swimming is fairly effortless for me.  I am trying to do structured swim workouts now rather than just swimming endless laps.  Now my goals may differ considerably from yours.  My A-race is a big race and I want to be competative so I have to step up to a higher level of training.  I will take a look at your logs when I get a chance and see if I can make any helpful suggestions.

Happy training everyone,

Leah 

Hey Everyone,

Well, I am back and trying to get back in the swing of things. I do have a question for the group. I am not back to full speed, but there is a sprint tri on St. Patty's day that I am thinking of competing in. Do you guys think that it is to soon to try that, or should I just give it a try?

Thanks,

Wes
