Is it sad that I'm jealous of you swim workout? I haven't got a swim workout in since before my son was born.0 -
OK, I finally have a workout to add
.
Strength training- I'm doing New Rules of Lifting Supercharged. Today was basic training 1B. Irritated my quad strain so I think I'm going to go put some ice on it.
Swim, 1K straight, 30:17. This was my second swim of 2013 so right now I'm just getting all the muscles used to it!
I signed up for a couple of races- a 1/2 Marathon in May, Sprint in June, and Oly in July.0 -
biked 25 minutes on the trainer. all the time I had yesterday.0
-
Good job getting it done.
Rest day today for me0 -

Nice workout Scott!

I would love to get in on this daily thread if you guys are still using it.
I'm sure thanksgiving was busy for most.
I've been having a bit of a rough time getting my act together with diet (nutrition) and training.
I have my first half ironman in April! I don't have the base that I probably should at this point, but I am going to keep doing what I can and hope that I can get fit enough to finish.
Monday and tuesday were decent days for me. 40 mins on the trainer mon, 3 mile run tuesday. Yesterday and today were emotional/stressful/poor eating days.
Back at it tomorrow. Heading to the pool and maybe a run. 0 -
First session on the trainer, turned on a red bull skiing video and gave it a hard 30 minutes.
Really like the kurt kinetic road warrior.0 -
20 minutes in the pool. I hate swimming.0

Hour on the trainer, 25 minute transition run, and upper body circuits today.0

OFFDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Saturday: Bike, 90 min, 2 x 10' Z4, rest of time Z2 followed by a 50 min run, 25 min Z2, 25 min Z3.
Sunday: Run, 60 min, 2 x 1.5 mi Z4, rest of time at Z20 -
@ MissyW- are you following a training plan for your 1/2 IM? I totally hear you with the emotional eating, etc. I've been working on it and (knock on wood) recently it's been going better... Have you checked out Beginner Triathlete? Lots of triathletes there for support too.
I've had a pretty good week, except Monday (I log on BT as Momandmd if anyone is really all that interested...), even though I burnt my hand last Friday and have been working out around the blisters, and i was on service.
Tues: Run intervals, 30 minutes (treadmill in the basement)
Wed: Strength training (I'm doing NROL-Supercharged), 30 min bike intervals (trainer in the basement)
Thurs: Run 30 min easy (in the morning!)
Fri: Bike 30 min easy (in the morning!)
Plan for this weekend is an hour run Sat, and an hour bike Sun. Both in the basement as it's going to be COLD here!0 -
@MissW- A training plan really is essential for halves and fulls IMO. It gives you a plan of attack and lets you just go out and get the work in from day to day instead of worrying about what you should be doing.
Tomorrow is a run test for me: 3 x 20 minutes with 3 minutes of recovery in between.
Sunday is an off day. May have to flip them depending on the weather here.0 -

This is the plan I'll be following with some slight modifications/more details per workout.
I really like it. I think it's simple and flexible enough for me and what I'm looking to accomplish.
Got an hour in today on my trainer (fluid kurt kinetic).0 -
20 minutes in the pool. I hate swimming.
That's why I DU and don't TRI! Why do you torture yourselves? LOL!0 -

30 minutes of weights, 45 minutes on the trainer.0

Just found this thread as I don't frequent the forums. But I need something to help keep me on track. The workouts are not a problem. It's the nutrition I have a hard time with. Seems impossible to lose the last 15 lbs. I just get so hungry after my workouts that I eat like crazy and tend to make some less than optimal choices.
Today's workout was 2200 yd swim 44 minutes with no drills and no rest. Just want to set a baseline at the distance for comparison. Followed by a 6 miles run at 8 min/ miles with 2 at 7min/mile. The run felt great as I've been having some glute pain that didn't bother me today.
Planning a couple sprints, one Oly and my A race in July is a 70.3 with a goal time of 5:02:00. Probably out of my range but if I can drop the last of the weight and stay on the training plan I might be able to pull it off.0 -
Today's run: 10 min w/u, 3 x (20 min all out, 3 min recovery), run to completion.
Looked and saw 2 mile repeats on the schedule for next week. Blech.0 -
45 minutes on the trainer (easy effort), lower body strength circuits, hip mobility work.0

weights today... deads, pull-ups, rows0

1500 yd swim and 65 minutes on the bike trainer0
-
10 min w/u, 2 x (2 miles all out, 3 min recovery), run to completion (1:20 total)
Woke up late so this was done on the treadmill. An hour twenty on the dreadmill is torture, but at least Hoosiers was on TV.0 -

I'm hoping by getting on here and seeing what everyone is doing will help me start my training up. Been out of training this year but have big plans for 2014. Makes me want to get my bike out seeing this.
Keep it up!0 -
