Tri Training Start

by Ron on April 13, 2005 · 0 comments

So I’m officially training for Jeff & Brede’s Intergalactic Triathlon. I didn’t use their training program because I found it totally confusing. Instead I bought the book Triathlon Training in Four Hours a Week by Eric Harr.

He has a little self evaluation test and it puts you into one of 4 groups. I’m in group [...]

Running

by Ron on April 7, 2005 · 0 comments

Ran with no plan today. I’m unofficially taking the week off. But I decided I needed to do something, so I ran 2.25 miles in 25:22. That’s 11:16 miles, which is way faster than the race, and it seemed pretty hard.

Now I’m planning my triathlon training. I need to know by this weekend.

Ran the Race

by Ron on April 4, 2005 · 0 comments

Sunday morning I ran the Space Race 5K. My time was really really slow, 39:17. But I ran the whole way, not even walking the water stops.

Turns out the Space Race is big bike race, but not a big run. My friend Chris who is a marathoner, ran the 5K with me and then branched [...]

Ran 5K

by Ron on March 28, 2005 · 0 comments

Did my run today and did 3.1 miles (5K) in 36:38. That’s 11.77 minute miles. I’m hoping to finish the 5K race this weekend in under 35, but I’ll be happy just to finish.

Running Log

by Ron on March 25, 2005 · 0 comments

On Wednesday I ran a little over 2.75 miles in 32:50. Today I ran the same length in 35:03.

I was sluggish having not slept enough and eaten late the night before, but I’m not sure why I was that much slower.

I’m contemplating a heart rate monitor and maybe getting one with distance and pace built [...]

Monday Run

by Ron on March 21, 2005 · 0 comments

Time: 32:04

Distance: 2.75 (approx)

Well that would be 11.6 minute miles, which would be a lot better than last week. I’m not totally sure the distance is 100% correct. I hope to ride it tonight and see. I actually rode the loop last night, but had to change it a little this morning. I think I [...]

Painful Run

by Ron on March 17, 2005 · 0 comments

Well mostly it was painful afterwards. So I ran 2.5 again last night. It was raining yesterday morning, so I skipped running. Normally skipping a day wouldn’t matter because I could go Thrusday/Saturday. But I’m going to be shooting at the Excaliber Faire this weekend and won’t be able to run. So I needed to [...]

Ran 2.5 miles this morning in 31:21.

I need to pick up my pace a little more. I’m in the home stretch to 5K. I think my Monday run is just about finishing the new distance. Wednesday and Friday are about increasing pace.
