cycling – wattage

December 9, 2009 blogs No Comments

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

Run Training: Easy Does It

December 9, 2009 Features No Comments

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

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

what would you do?

December 8, 2009 blogs No Comments

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

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

Trainer Workouts with a Pro at…

December 8, 2009

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!
