Message posted by: Jordan R. Despite completing 1/2 IM distance, I have only recently read about monitoring wattage. Can someone shed light for me on if this is the best way to ensure you pace properly (ie. vs. just following RPMs)? Is there a recommended equipment to use? Is following your watt output essential in your opinion for training? What is the most basic rule of thumb for watts (for example, with RPMs, one knows to maintain a high rate of at least 80+). Even just a link to a good article is appreciated! To view the rest of the post, please log-in to www.ontri.com

cycling – wattage
Research shows that a little fast running goes a long way. Written by: Matt Fitzgerald There have always been competing training philosophies in the sport of distance running. At the most general level of classification, there are two training schools: the high-mileage school and the high-intensity school. Representatives of the high-mileage school believe runners should do

Run Training: Easy Does It
Message posted by: Scott M. I’ve been training for Tri’s since July and raced in two last summer. Since November, I’ve been using the Ontri program for setting up a general training schedule. I hand make some adjustments week to week, mostly to try to coordinate my schedule. Under the ‘focus’ category, it uses 4 basic terms: technique, recovery, distance and base building. Can anyone shed light on differences between distance and base building? How would the two be different? For that matter, I understand how to focus on technique, but how would someone focus on recovery (lower HR?). I do not train with a HR monitor but I do pay attention to where my heart rate is 5-6 times a work out to make sure I am in my desired zone. Given what I learned from you all, I’ll likely be purchasing a HR monitor sooner vs. later. Thanks for the help. To view the rest of the post, please log-in to www.ontri.com

Message posted by: James T. Resurrecting this question from “that thread” that I deleted. We’ve all found this great sport through various means. Hopefully we all love the training etc. BUT, my question is this: If you could be competitive in your AG just by taking a pill, no training, no side effects, just sit on the couch and take the pill, would you do it? Or would you prefer to train and be as good as you could be with the cards you’re dealt? Journey or destination? To view the rest of the post, please log-in to www.ontri.com

is it a good deal?
Message posted by: Kate U. Hey Guys- I posted earlier about see how many days I should leave between my oly tri and 1st HIM. I am having trouble finding an OYL tri in CO at least 30 days out from my HIM July 18th. I wanted to do the same Oly tri i did last year but the race is a week later this year and would only give me 20 days in between races…would that kill me? Should I opt for just a sprint tri that is further out? To view the rest of the post, please log-in to www.ontri.com

what a difference
Message posted by: Marjan K. I am fairly new to this and I have a question about my Heart Rate. I just went on my first run with my HR monitor and noticed that my average HR was 165 (high 182). Now since i am still slow as is, running any slower is hardly possible … I am at a 10:50 pace as of right now … I dont feel I am having a problem or I am stressing my body out to much but here is the question … Am i supposed to go slower and run HR around 150 or do i keep training this way until my HR naturally comes down? tx Kosi To view the rest of the post, please log-in to www.ontri.com

heart rate question
I did the Trainer ride with a Pro tonight at Inside Out Sports in Cary. The store sponsors these workouts (almost) every Tuesday evening at 6:30 pm. They are free – you just have to bring your own bike and your own trainer. It was great killer workout, and I plan on doing this every Tuesday evening. My new job is five minutes from Inside Out Sports. Tonight’s workout was led by local pro triathlete, Alex McDonald. Since I get off work at 5, and the workout starts at 6:30, I was the first one to arrive for the workout. Alex is a member of Team Timex, and he had some free schwag for the first one to arrive. That was me! How lucky is that. I got a brand new Timex Sleek 150 lap tap technology watch. It’s very slim design and I am wearing it right now as I type. I love it so far – very sleek and comfortable! I asked him if he would take my picture so I could tweet about my prize. (Click any image below to enlarge.) I tweeted: “won timex ironman tap watch cuz i was first to arrive at @alexmmtri spin class” The first thing we did after the warmup was isolated leg drills. That is where you unclip one leg and only spin with the other leg. We did alot of those, and I hated them. But that means they were good for me. Alex let me tweet a picture of him. I twote: “single leg drill at ios with @alexmmtri “. The middle part of the workout were three tempo sets. I love those. I am very good at steady eddie riding. Then we did some super spins. Hate, hate, hated those! But again, if you hate a workout, it means it is good. After the workout, Alex let us all try a Recovery drink called Ultragen made by First Endurance. It was really good tasting. Not too sweet like most similar products. I was very impressed. I tweeted: “free first endurance recovery drink from @alexmmtri yum ” One last picture for you to enjoy: Tweet: “at IOS – look at the P4’s!” …if you found this post inspiring, please help fight Hunger by supporting the Gatorade G Movement!

I’ve been looking at Triathlon Training in general, but for all you that are in your offseason I came across some articles and Videos that may help you out, Thanks to Krista who blogged about it, so I decided to throw up a quick post, …
I had a really bad day today. Four bad things happened. I must be in a state of Nirvana because none of these things are bothering me. Mentally, I feel very relaxed and at ease. Had a bad run. I enjoyed the run. I felt like I was running well with fast feet while still going easy and holding back . But every time I looked at my Garmin it was showing a pace of greater than 10min/mile. I wondered if the heavy cloud cover affected the accuracy of the GPS. When I got home, I plotted the course out on my BT account, and it showed the same distance and pace. Crud. Not worried, tho. My fast feet are just waiting for race day. In my rush to get out the door for my run, I grabbed any old pair of socks. Stupid move! When I got home, I had a very bloody blister on my left heel. I put some Aquaphor and a band-aid on it. Feels okay. I am not the least bit worried about it. It will heal up in time. When I got home from running, I noticed my teenage daughter’s car was not in the driveway. Yet, I remember her coming in the door late at night. That was weird. I knocked on her door and asked “where is the blue car?” She broke down in tears and said she crashed it into a guardrail after hydroplaning on the wet roads. Thankfully, nobody got hurt. The car has a nice big dent in the side and needs a new tire. Could have been ALOT worse. This is not stressing me out either. I’ve been having shooting sciatica pains all day. Not worried about that either. I always get new weird pains during my taper. I think it’s my body just healing stuff that I didn’t even know was hurting me. That’s what I’m telling myself. I am very thankful to be in such a positive mood despite all these stressors. It sure beats crying because it’s a sunny day ! My plan for the week is to do lots and lots of Rodney Yee’s “Yoga Conditioning for Athletes” DVD. I did that every day leading up to Duke 1/2. Flexibility = Free speed. I’ll take it. While driving home from picking up the blue car, I was listening to the radio. The DJ was talking about the band, Nirvana. He said that Kurt Cobain was inspired to write the song “ Smells Like Teen Spirit ” when a rival painted graffiti on the wall: “Kurt smells like Teen Spirit”. Teen Spirit being the deodorant made for teenage girls. I always wondered what that lyric meant. Love that song… Smells Like Teen Spirit – Nirvana – New Music – More Music Videos Check it out : Amazon.com …Workouts in a Binder : Swim Workouts for Triathletes …if you found this post inspiring, buy me a coffee!
