August Totals (Page 2)

I feel like I should reply to the generous comments made about my training. There are numerous reasons why I am able to train as much as I do and the results I achieve. I have a profession which allows for a huge amount of time flexibility. I currently have no children to raise, and I was blessed with good genetics. Yes, I am committed to the sport and I train at a very high level because I can, but everyone here working towards a goal are as worthy of praise.

Good month for me. I slowed down the last couple days as I just raced my furthest distance on Saturday. Taper plus rest afterward cost me some. I think if I raced less I would be able to get in more volume....I just love racing too much though...hehe ; )

August's totals:
Bike:	29h 03m 12s  - 515.1 Mi
Run:	16h 57m 33s  - 120.94 Mi

S:  9733.16 Yd - 4h 27m 41s
B:  25.65 Mi - 1h 44m 52s
R:  55.31 Mi - 9h 43m 50s
Sp:  3h 20m

Travel for work limited my bike severely, but I tried to make up for it with all the undocumented ocean swims off the coast of Hawaii.

I don't know how some of you guys get such crazy training hours in; I am seriously impressed.

Spent the first 2 weeks of August recovering from a bike crash.  Ended up with a decent volume but nowhere near where I should have been during peak weeks of IM build

Bike:	27h 35m 50s  - 526.99 Mi
Run:	9h 47m 48s  - 52.48 Mi
Swim:	5h 07m 12s  - 17224 Yd

August's totals:
Bike:	8h 12m 48s  - 163.37 Mi
Run:	7h 47m 48s  - 59.99 Mi
Swim:	7h 41m 54s  - 22320.21 Yd

Had two races back to back the last 2 weeks, 3rd in AG out of 39 in race 1 and my first "AG victory" this past Sunday, 1st out of 13.  Satisfying results considering 6-8 hours/week training time.  The 1/2 IM is calling me ...........Maybe IM Kansas 70.3 next year.  We'll see.

Now about six months off the couch, August was last full month getting ready for an Olympic race on 9/11, which has been the goal all year. Following the BT 20 week 3x balanced plan, I got all the time in, even if on the slow side.

August's totals:
Bike: 23h 01m 59s - 406.12 Mi
Run: 11h 11m 32s - 68.03 Mi

Raced on 8/29, but didn't taper a whole lot.

August's totals:
Bike:	9h 52m 27s  - 198.31 Mi
Run:	15h 50m 28s  - 105.7 Mi

First 100 mile month running.

Nice work JoshR!  It was my first 100+ mile running month as well.
Personal record in overall volume as well...surpassed 60 hours...feelin' pretty darn proud of that.

Run: 18h 13m 30s - 125.06 Mi
Swim: 2h 01m - 6450 Yd

Best overall month this year. 2nd most bike miles and most run and swim distance this year. I guess I'm ready for Rev 3 in 12 days.

Not much but this is my second month of training. All the bike rides were mountain bike rides but one and it was on the mountain bike trying to keep up with the road bikes... yeah right! hehe

Fairly pleased... life tried to derail me the first of the month but I hung in there.

Run:	4h 49m 45s  - 28.82 Mi
Swim:	4h 00m  - 8350 Yd

gee...makes you think I'm training for an aquathon huh?

big road race this weekend, then it's HM training...and maybe a marathon if my joints say okay.

Thought this month's totals would be low, but it seems I was wrong:

August's totals:
Bike:	10h 39m 34s  - 166.86 Mi
Run:	6h 13m 40s  - 42.71 Mi
Swim:	10850 M

July's totals:
Bike:	8h 42m 37s  - 137.75 Mi
Run:	5h 24m  - 38.08 Mi
Swim:	10400 M

My average bike speed has slowed a little for the first month since starting last September (though only by 0.1mph ) but I'm hoping it's due to the hill that my new route takes me up.

August's totals:
Bike: 18h 45m - 303.78 Mi
Run: 2h 57m 19s - 18.97 Mi
Swim: 31m 59s - 1640.42 Yd
Basketball: 1h 30m
Kayaking: 2h 00m

Season's over. Mostly biking now.

You guys are animals

Little by many peoples standards, but this was my biggest run month to date.

My totals are off a little this month, because of getting sick.  I need to ramp it up in September.

Best month for me to date.

Total crap month for me. Mis-diagnosed with a hamstring injury for the first 21 days and told no running/cycling until it felt better. Also given a bunch of PT exercises which I followed religiously. After three weeks and just slight improvement, re-diagnosed with piriformis syndrome from my cycling (symptoms wayyy worse with cycling than running) and started running, albeit short distanecs, that day without problem. Now doing much better with PT for the piriformis syndrome and making good progress.

But, as you can see, August was awful for me compared to July. Cannot wait to heal up completely and get back to some decent volume!!! Getting better every day!

Bike: 4h 30m - 80.64 Mi

Super excited to break a 100+ mile run month, but bummed I fell less than 12 miles short of a 400 mile bike.  1.5 weeks to HIM, I think I'm ready!
