Subject: RE: Training Alone in Cincinnati Hey guys. I just saw your post. I live in Loveland and would be interested in training together sometime. Right now, training for Kentucky Derby Festival half marathon in a couple, Little Smokies triathlon (HIM ) end of May, and Caesar Creek triathlon, which are all just training for IM Louisville at the end of August. As my ride distance increases and it's gets warmer earlier, I plan on doing my long rides on Saturday morning at the crack of dawn (keep the interference with family as minimal as possible ) and long runs on Sunday, either in the morning or afternoon (actually preferrably afternoon to work on running in the heat but this may not always be possible ). For rides, I typically start at my house, pass through downtown Loveland and ride out in the "country". I do a lot of my runs on the Loveland Bike Trail. For long rides, I usually average between 18mph and 20mph. For long runs, 8:15 - 9:00/mile. Just so you have some idea of my fitness/ability level, my marathon PR is 3:43, HIM 5:12 and one and only IM, 12:21. Hope it works out sometime. Happy and safe training. |
