But Saffers - the good thing about Fink is that you train by time not miles . That's good for me anyway, cos find distance more of a mental chalenge than time.

Soupy I had to commit otherwise funds would have gone elsewhere and I could see myself slacking off over the winter.

Been telling everyone that I am doing it so they can give me a gee up when needed.

Saffers, what aero bars have you got?

Yay go Saffers. Outlaw 2012 is about 261 days away

Chilibean

13/10/2011 at 21:45

There you go as promised. Mmmm, interesting that the intermediate and competitive programmes start the same.

How vital is it to train by heart rate? I don't own and monitor and haven't a clue what my heart rates are/should be or whatever the terminolgy is.

TJ1004 I have Profile Design Airstryke 2000. I prefer the shape. I rode with a friend whose hands seem to slip along the straighter bar type so I opted for the Airstryke and once I got use to getting down on them with the flappy bits, I really like them.

Hey LN, how you doing?

261 days ooooh plenty of time to get serious then.

IIRC the base phase for Intermediate and Compettitive is the same.

I started with a Tesco HRM, but have a Garmon 305 now. It is well worth getting an HRM (or Garmin).

Chilli if you have not got a monitor go by Rate of Perceived Exertion using a scale of 1 to 10. 1 = resting, 10 = flat out sprint max effort. Some scales are 1-20 or 1-5 but 1 is always dead easy and top rate is max effort possible.

I aim to start next week and will be shuffling around the days to fit in work, will see how much I can do realistically.

Saffers

13/10/2011 at 22:08

Having come in late to the thread and I have read back like a good girl but can you just tell me Chilibean, the Week 1 plan you have posted above, is that to be starting next week?

Darkness

13/10/2011 at 22:12

5 Dec start, but can repeat week 1 from now to then as groundwork should you wish?

Chilibean

13/10/2011 at 22:17

Steady - that's good cos that's what I do already.

Yep, Saffers - what Darkness said. The date for 30 week plan is 5 Dec. Although there is some discussion about starting a couple of weeks early to cater for Christmas and an unforseen event that will probably crop up for all of us at some point.... but I'm not sure we've come to a decision about that yet....

Saffers

Ahhh right, okay thanks for that.

just like to reafirm the odd comment re fink and swimming

there is wayyyyyy to much swiming in there for some
there is wayyyyyy to little bking in there for others.

(but I am a crap swimmer / reasonable biker)!

For comparison to Fink , shall I post my weekly sessions...??
NOTE - I am not a beginner, and am aiming a top 15-20% finish

My Lanza program week1 - re-establish bike/run commute with a big bike to see how / if I can handle it..

Monday ride 1.5, run .5, gym .5
Tuesday run run.5, ride 1.5, stretch .5
Wednesday ride 1.5, run .5 swim .5
Thursday run .5, ride 1.5, core .5
Friday day off
Saturday plan swim .5, run 1
Sunday bike 5!!!
