So I've recently changed workouts from one that was made from a local coach, to a program from Rich Strauss (online) because the coach only gave me half of the training plan. This new plan has my doing long ride on saturday, and a shorter, more varied ride on sunday, with short easy run tacked on there. Then I usually get Monday as a rest day, depending on the week.

3 Months down. I know many of you have been stuck on trainers and treadmills, but let's see the logs. Whatever data you've got. Sort of a "quarterly earnings statement," if you will :P Anyways, I'll begin. Swim: 1160 minutes (19:20) 52,600 meters (pool closed 1 month ago) Bike: 3262 minutes (54:22)

I wanted to run this by some of you pros out there- I'm a beginner, ran my first Olympic last summer in Chicago, and was hooked. Now training for Steelhead half IM this August. I've always been more of a runner- run a couple marathons, but only now am I starting to train smarter and more efficiently- at least I think I am.

I'm trying to sell my CAT Atitude tent. It has just over 2500 hours on it. It will fit a queen size bed, with room for night stand and space to walk around or a King size with absolutly no room (trust me, I did it). It is a walk in style. I would love to keep it, but I've just run into some financial trouble and need the money more than I need the tent.

As a former cyclist and rookie triathlete, I'm very familiar with the importance of establishing a proper BASE early in the season. When I was training 10 or 15 hours a week to be a competitive collegiate cyclist, it made sense to do 4-hour base rides at a Zone 2 pace.

I'm thinking about trying to shed a few more pounds before I start competing in a few weeks. My concern is that I certainly don't want to cut out too many calories because I'm also continuing to ramp up my training and I already sometimes feel like I don't have enough gas in the tank for hard workouts.

Traveling this weekend I almost finished reading the _T&Rw/aPM_ book. I was a bit disappointed that there was less Triathlon/TT specific content than I would have liked, so I'm hoping someone here might have some insight. My peak W/kg numbers are as follows: 5sec = 15.65 1min = 5.90 5min = 4.05 FTP ~~ 3.0

I was reviewing a few of the articles on this site and came across the ^ week basic triathlon program schedule, I'll admit it is not that clear to me. It is towards the end of the schedule. is that last day fri. a typo and suppose to be Sunday? I have tried to paste it below but due to formating doesn't workout right. so this is the link:

My wife has started a blog about training with a jogging stroller. She promises no whining about how difficult it is. She does a little over a 1000 miles a year with them and has got the kids conditioned to think of it as another home.
