Veteran 419 clayton | Subject: RE: Consistency Equals Success - CLOSED two easy spins on the trainer t loosen the legs. This week is my biggest volume week then it starts to taper to the race; how did that happen so quickly!? my running shoes are good for ~350, but careful consideration of my ache determine the final retirement date.

353 Conroe, Texas | Subject: RE: Consistency Equals Success - CLOSED Background: Last October I started a CSI(Cardio Strength Interval) Class at the Gym I train at in the morning. The class is an hour long 3 days a week, 45 minutes of various exercises getting my heart rate to Zone 4(145-165bpm) and keeping it there. Followed by 15 minutes of cool down exercises and stretching. The class has been very beneficial to me. I never really worked my core or legs in a manner that this class does and I can see and feel the improvements. My legs are stronger then they have ever been, my balance has greatly improved, and my core strength is also on the rise. A lot of pluses for the class but there is one big negative in that I believe it is effecting my other training. By this I mean that the class is taking some of my energy and I believe it is having negative effects on the rest of my triathlon training. Here is a typical week for me. Monday morning 1hr CSI Class followed by a 30min swim. Tuesday I normally run but it really depends on how my legs feel from the class. After doing 150 squats and 75 lunges the day before my legs are very sore and tight. And this is very typical for the rest of the week. I know I could run, swim, and bike longer if I wasn't either zapped from the class or recovering from the previous days class. Question: Should I abandon the class through the tri season and just concentrate on the 3 disciplines?

Master 3022 | Subject: RE: Consistency Equals Success - CLOSED Updating for swim at lunch. Dennis - At a minimum you should dial it back. I agree with some strength and core work, but I 100% buy in to the adages that if you want to swim, bike and run faster you need to swim, bike and run. Can you skip the class and do strength and core work on your own? I've done classes like that before and they really kick your butt!

Question: Should I abandon the class through the tri season and just concentrate on the 3 disciplines? Classes like that are great for off season conditioning and breaking up S/B/R training, but Mitch is right. As we roll into the season I would cut back if not eliminate the class until the off season comes around again. That way you will get the benefit of the strength training, without ruining your tri training. Plus by time the fall rolls back around the class will be fresh again.

And your right Mitch, classes like this will kick your butt. I have to say I always underestimated these classes in the past until I started this one. Thanks for pointing out the obvious and helping me get my head on straight. Pretty sad when you know your screwing up but you need someone else to tell you your screwing up before you acknowledge it.

I was thinking today that the core of this group has been together for at least 3 years, maybe 4 or longer. |

My wife isn't interested in that conversation, but God bless her for her tolerance and support. It is pretty cool that the core group has been here for 3+ years. |

The above article was on consistency and how to increase it. The below article is from a conversation with Chrissie Wellington and deals with the importance of rest days. Rest days can be even more important for Age Group athletes due to stresses of full time jobs, managing families and trying to train at the same time. http://www.220triathlon.com/training/beginners/chrissie-w-on-the-im... |

She tries so hard to act like she’s interested in hearing about triathlons, fellow triathletes, the latest Garmin gadget, and so on. She just can’t seem to hide her eyes glazing over when I say anything triathlon related. Bless her heart she does try so hard! |
