hedgehog USAT clinic

I've been waiting for an USAT Coach Level 1 clinic now for at least 2 years (that's when I ordered the coaching leader manual from them) and now finally there's a clinic in the midwest which fits into my schedule (no missed classes for me). And: I managed to sign up (It is full by now!)
Yeah!

Katie Jordan I've got POWER - in more ways than one

5am is toooooo early to be doing a brick. My annoying phone alarm (If you have a blackberry you KNOW what I'm talkin about) goes off...I look at the phone, eh. Move my legs, eh. Pry myself out of my slumbersum bed to use and abuse my lower body.

Brick - 75 min spin/3.3 mile run

Spin started off rough. My quads felt like lead pipes from the hill rep… Continue

Dave "Maui" Laskey Crossroads.

Well gorgeous day today, albeit slightly chilly in the 50s...

My run, on the other hand was not as nice. Had planned to do a short 3 mile run, but one mile in, I shut it down. Plantar fasciitis was mild, but today my knee was bothering me. Still being new to knee injuries, the last 5 months have been frustrating to say the least. I have been told there will be good days, and there will be bad days, and today was one of the later.

I am at a crossroads. My current

Scott Legere 8.5

So this week in SE Mass, the weather has really been excellent. Monday was 60+, Tuesday 50 (A little Wind though) and today was great, 55 all sun, no wind. Monday I went out for the first outdoor run of the year, (I don't count a run back in early Feb since it has been a while since)....I was hoping to go 6 miles. Really starting to try and get the 'official' training going for my Half Iron which is about 3 months out now....alas, Monday i cut the run short at 4 miles, as I simply could not get… Continue

Dan Isleib Looking for a new road bike

I am currently riding an old Litespeed Tuscany (12 years old). I am in the market for a new ride that is a good all-around bike with a preference for climbing. The bike shop guy is pushing the BMC SLR01. I like it, but I thought I would reach out to see if anyone has any strong recommendations. I am up for spending in the $5-7k range. For racing I have a Cervelo P4. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Thanks

P. Dale Mason You never know who you may run into

Living in South Florida, which I did once upon a time from 1989 until 1998, there is always a chance of encountering celebrities. And by that I mean Nationally recognized Celebrities, not the local news types. Yes, Sam Dick, a local newscaster here in Lexington, is a triathlete and I have done group rides on the bike, in whcih he was present a few times. No, by celebrity, I am talking about someone whose name if you mentioned anywhere in the US people would know who I am talknig about. For in

timothy cerveny I was all about running to the pool in lieu of driving there, like a bum..then running home. Anyone else do this type of routine (workout A, workout B, then workout A again)? If so, how did it feel?

This morning I woke up knowing that to do well in the 2010 Chi Tri I needed to better my swim, but I felt like a lazy ass driving 1 mile to the local indoor pool....so I decided to pack my back pack and run there.

When I got there I was pumped. It took me less than my usually pace of 10min/mi at the new sprint pace of 9min/m… Continue

Katie Jordan Hear Me ROAR!

AM Run - Hill repeats
1 mile warm up
20 x ;45-60 Z3/Z4 sprint hill repeats - 5 miles total
1 mile cool down

Total miles 7

This was fricking hard for a number of reasons. I woke up with pretty much no motivation. The lack of motivation came from the lack of sleep. I think I fell asleep around 8:30 (before most children, I know), face down… Continue

Scott Legere The New Ride!

Wow- So picked up the brand spanking new- Motobecane Nemesis Pro today. Could not wait to get it out on the road , even if a little chilly around 50 degrees. Figured I would still go for a few miles. Very antsy, getting a bike off the Net always carries some risk. Although got my road bike the same way and it worked out great. Well got to the bike shop and my guy 'Steve' was there to help me out on the fitting and the pedals and now i need to get some new 'real' bike shoes. He had the perfect

Dave "Maui" Laskey Improvement through Brilliance

One of my life's little sayings...

"If I can't laugh at myself... I am missing some of the biggest jokes around..."

Yes... I do have some self-depricating humor.

So today is gorgeous, a little chillier in the low 50s, but my knee is still a little gimpy and my plantar fascitis still slightly nagging, so I decide to just crank out a relatively flat 24.8 miles on my Computrainer...

hedgehog Free choice - mud or ice...

I'm signed up for my birthday-marathon this year - first time ever on that day. So - well for the race in beginning of May I am heavy into training - many miles already. Today the plan was a 16-miler. I have Spring Break right now so the forest preserve invited - despite of fog and ice fishers still out there. But the upper 30es/lower 40es were nice and I could ditch the jacket for a vest. Hitting the trail turned out to be interesting: The big amounts of snow had turned into frozen-up slush - n… Continue

Dave "Maui" Laskey Step Forward, Step Back?

Was a great weekend... and so nice running on Saturday.

But why get ahead of myself... I did treat myself to the Kona Coffee Macadamia Coconut Porter Friday night after my bike and it was fantastic. Nice nuances, and a nice bold flavor.

Run on Saturday was cut a little short. Planned on doing 3 miles which is not a lot but considering I have recently had a slight quad tear and been fighting some plantar facisitis, it seemed like a good plan. The rest from my inju
