Expert  1164    Roswell, GA |  Subject: March Goal ChallengeAlright everyone, I thought I would start this up since I have not seen one yet. I like being able to keep track of everyone, and a bit of personal accountability from peers never hurt either. Here is what I want to hit for mileage in March Bike - 450 miles Run - 90-100 miles Swim - 40000 m Of course I am going to talk to Coach Dan first to see how he feels about it, but I think I am more than capable of hitting it. What does everyone else have in mind for goals? |

The danger in a volume only approach to monthly goals is it doesn't reward quality, which to me is an invaluable part of the training load equation. However, you could partial it out, but its a POA. Regardless, the volume approach was helpful last month so I am back in. Provided Shanks and my old body allows, I'm looking to top February 2011 totals:
Last year I threw down the following in August, which is roughly the equivalent distance from my IM as is March is to the June IM this year. Thus I will be trying to hit these numbers too:

Master 2638 | Subject: RE: March Goal Challenge No way am I going to throw down the 17 hrs per week that phat is doing. Run - 100 miles? I'm tapering and then racing so that may be a stretch. If it's less, no big deal. Bike - 2x per week without fail. Would prefer 3x per week but that would mean trainer time. Swim - 1x per week No wussing out and skipping a workout because of a tough day the day before. |

Elite 3495 SE | Subject: RE: March Goal Challenge I am kind of ashamed about all of those hours but I do have an IM in June with a taper due in about 12-13 weeks! Plus I don't want to be crying on the side of the road in Idaho like a baby with a wet diaper. EEK |

Extreme Veteran 680 Acworth, GA | Subject: RE: March Goal Challenge OK, goal not volume or intensity driven, that takes care of itself. Mine is still to form the wake up early habit. |

Member 28 Covington | Subject: RE: March Goal Challenge So I bit on this in January as a beginner wanting to get into shape but then fell off the wagon with work / family / school / personal commitments all piling on me at once. So March is a redo and we are setting some beginner style goals. 1. Run/Walk 20 workouts for at least 40 miles 2. Complete 1.5 mile PT Test in under 12:00 3. Lose 5 pounds (from 235) 4. Get on Bike (at least 5 workouts) 5. Complete my first 5-K 6. Start / Stick With 100 Pushup Program With better weather and some staffing issues being resolved at work, hopefully I will meet these goals this month and stick with it. |

Elite 3495 SE | Subject: RE: March Goal Challenge
Swim and bike are on target (after tomorrows 60 mile ride) and run is a bit behind. I can live with where I am at. Due to a slightly strained left hammy I have been on an adaptation week which hurts volume but allows me to heal before the onslaught Shanks is bringing next week and alluded to earlier this week. phatknot - 2011-03-01 1:54 PM Provided Shanks and my old body allows, I'm looking to top February 2011 totals:

Would've liked a few more miles/yards, but who wouldn't? I hit the goals generally that I set forth in the March Challenge. Hope you had a good month too. My body is holding up nicely and fitness is coming along. The volume doesn't speak to the quality either. Shanks has been throwing a fair bit of that my way too.

So, I did OK on the run, just behind on the bike and missed some swims. April will be bike-focused and a LOT of it or I will be the one crying by the side of the road like a baby (only in Knoxville and Wisconsin). |
