Friday-i didnt get this one in. Ive been in more pain than usual in my hips so im resting them a bit. I have ankylosing spondlitis but ive been slack on my anti-inflammatory due to my lack of insurance last yr. I just got reestablished at the drs and will give them some time to kick in before i start week 5 in the calender. Im thinking maybe walks and yoga for a few days.

Jenn, I had to google ankylosing spondlitis
Doesn't sound fun at all. I agree that a week of yoga might be beneficial as well as those anti-inflammatory of course !!
Adapting is a key part of the journey right ?

Jenn - This condition can be quite painful & difficult (my father-in-law has it). Modifying your routine makes perfect sense and hope that the anti-inflammatory kicks in soon. Take care

So, Lisa, I'm curious.
Tempo run = Faster than race pace ?
Steady = Race pace ?
Long = Slower than race pace ?
What's your pace goal ?0 -
ALRIGHT !!!!
(Bianca, I just sent you an email regarding this...)
Alright alright alright !!! (Picturing Matthew Mcconaughey all of a sudden lol)
So tonight is my last workout of Hammer and Chisel calendar
(Let's dance)
lol
And tomorrow's Monday !
I need a plan
I decided on a plan.
I don't need a Hybrid version, I can go all in with Sagi.
Body Beast it is !!
I will follow his schedule til I leave on the 21st.
And we'll take it from there.
So here is what next week is gonna look like for me:- Monday morning: Build - Chest/Tris
- Tuesday afternoon: Build - Legs
- Wednesday after work: Build - Back/Bis
- Thursday after work: Beast Cardio + Beast Abs
- Friday after work : Build - Shoulders
- Saturday : Rest
- Sunday morning: Build - Chest/Tris
Let's do this !!!!!!!!!!!1 -

Tempo run = Faster than race pace ?
Steady = Race pace ?
Long = Slower than race pace ?
What's your pace goal ?
Tempo run = means going “comfortably hard”. Your near max pace (80% max heart rate), no breaks. There are lots of different ways to do it. Flat courses are recommended. It is supposed to improve speed.
Steady run = go slow, below your race pace. It can be a run/walk combo, I just run. Consider it a leisurely run.
Long Run = This is also slow (at least slower what your race pace, a bit faster than steady run). Again, it can be a run/walk combo (10 minutes running, 1 minute walking). I tend to just run. It is fairly important to take it slower than race pace, as you are building endurance week over week on these runs.
My pace goal = Honestly, to finish and have a good time at the race. A finish between 2:30 and 3 hours is fine (so like 7 to 8.5 minutes per km). This is likely to be a hot temperature race, so I need to give myself this kind of spread on the pace. I won’t really have a good sense of my near final race pace until May. Just two of my training runs will at “race pace” & these are in May. While I am training consistently, I am not training really that competitively on speed. Some runners do 7 days a week, some do 2 runs per day etc. My strength training is relatively new, and that is really helping with how I feel during runs and it should help with injury prevention & possibly speed.
More “types” of runs are coming in a few weeks: Hill training (yikes), fartlek (combo fast & slow running).
Including this week, I have 13 weeks left in the training plan & to race day!

Is that the John Stanton method ?
It reminds me of it...0 -

Yes, it is from the Running Room online training clinic. I like it as it is gradual & straightforward. The different types of runs make it a bit more interesting too. My marathoning brother has used it for all of his races. I am researching nutrition right now. It is challenging to do this training and lose weight. Just read the Runner’s World book on this, and it is great. Am going to read it again. After a long run, honestly, the hunger is intense!2 -
Totally !!
I totally get what you mean. Training for an event and trying to lose weight at the same time can be quite tricky. Needing the right nutrition to perform versus aiming for a constant calorie deficit to lose weight... I've been there too. That's why I am not setting any challenging events this year (ie The Marathon
). I am obviously on a weight loss journey but also one to create a body that I want to maintain for the rest of my life afterwards. That, is my priority right now and that's the only reason I had to make a choice and let go of the Races until I get to where I want to be. THEN, of yes, THEN and not IF, Then I'll move on to the next challenge that very well could be the Marathon.
Life is a series of choices right ? We just can't do everything at the same time with the same intensity.
That's why I'm so happy to have gifted myself with a treadmill. I am bringing the fun back into running as opposed to hitting times, paces, numbers.. (God I was becoming pretty intense there...)
Anyway, bla bla bllaaaaahhh lol
I get it. I get you. I'm so glad to have found you !
I could go on forever !!! lol

Yup, this is why I let go of pace, times etc. If you are goal oriented, it can be really hard not to compete. I love the freeing side of running. For me, getting outside, thinking, listening to music, seeing different things. So that is my focus. With a busy life, I can make myself a priority and also kind of meditate through it. Also love the “runners high”, those endorphins!2 -
Exactly.

Super weird, I couldn't find it anywhere. I ended up finding it by searching my discussions but I had to rejoin. I didn't think I did anything to get kicked out. LOL Must have been a glitch.0 -
- Monday morning: Build - Chest/Tris + 30mins Treadmill Netflix
- Tuesday afternoon: Build - Legs + 60mins Treadmill Netflix
- Wednesday after work: Build - Back/Bis
- Thursday after work: Beast Cardio + Beast Abs
- Friday after work : Build - Shoulders
- Saturday : Rest
- Sunday morning: Build - Chest/Tris
Well !!!
Body Beast.
Wow.
I can't believe I actually am at that level. Like seriously.
Ok so some of you have asked to hear my thoughts about it so here they are after only 2 workouts done.
Love it.
lol
Yup
Of course it's hard, but not harder than H&C, just different. Different in the sense that Body Beast is a program that concentrates on daily muscle combination rather than full body workouts. I've only ever done full body workouts (Chalean Extreme, PIyo and H&C) SO the point is to activate more of the entire muscle by working it out different ways, so it hits all the regions of that chosen muscle. Definitely attain muscle fatigue and THAT'S where the candy is !
So ladies, it's a go !
Body Beast is a go ! lol
Oh and !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How come nobody ever told me Sean the Bachelor is the "modifier dude" for the first workout (at least) lol Sean !!!! WTF ?!??! Anyway, that cracked me up. Especially that I could do almost the same weight as him !!!! Almost....
So BB is the plan for me for another 2 weeks exactly til vacation and then I think it will be the program I choose to start again when I return on April 1st, following the full 90 day Lean Program from the start. Yup, that's now that plan.
Anybody feel like joining ? 1 -
Another thing....
I am telling you guys this here, and now before I post it to the MeltAway thread.
I am stepping out of the Meltaway team and F2F Challenge as a whole.
I emailed Bianca yesterday to explain and Captain Jackie today to inform her as well.
It's just where my journey is taking me.
I ABSOLUTELY want to stay HERE with you guys, with our workouts, with our chats, with the accountability and encouragement. This group is what I want. You guys
So I'm staying !
I'll be writing up my announcement today....0 -

Im in! I absolutely love hammer and chisel and would continue but I think changing it up might be fun. Especially if we do it together. I have a couple more days of H/C then I will start checking the workouts out until you get back from vacay.1
