CoachAJ replied to the topic Easy run/heart rate in the forum Half Ironman Program (HIP) for Paid Participants 5 years, 5 months ago
Since everyone has nailed their HR zone training, let’s talk through this Christy. I am sure others will learn something too 🙂
First off, have you done the run baseline test? And did you do it accurately? Were you literally finishing your 30 minutes and at a place where you couldn’t give another step, breath, heart beat? If so, did you take t…[Read more]

CoachAJ replied to the topic I can't see! Goggle care… in the forum Half Ironman Program (HIP) for Paid Participants 5 years, 5 months ago
Great feedback! Another cheap method is spit! I have been spitting in my googles for years and countless races too! Spit, swish it around, dunk and go.
Remember that technology is technology. Obviously there is advantageous. However there are also drawbacks if you overlie on it. Sometimes the best option can also the the most basic (or cheapest)!

As everyone here likely had a similar situation when they started using HR zone training, let’s hear what others have to say. How did you manage this situation? And when a workout states ‘recovery’ or ‘easy’ what zone should this be in?
Hint, read the Athlete’s Guide!

CoachAJ replied to the topic Peasantman Follow Up in the forum Half Ironman Program (HIP) for Paid Participants 5 years, 5 months ago
Good feedback. When they talked about nip to hip, this is where your arm swing should target from a cueing perspective. So your arms are at a 90 degree angle and then you go 45 degrees forward (nip) to 45 degrees backward (hip). They did not mean that you were supposed to touch these parts. So yes, you want your arm swing to be moving you for…[Read more]

Great feedback Katie! I love that you swam to the start of the open water swim race. Talk about taking full advantage of the opportunity 🙂
Nice lessons learned from your practice race too. Transition is free speed so the more organized you can be, the better. It sounds like you found the right balance of pushing the bike (but not ove…[Read more]

Thank you for coming to the running clinic at Peasantman. It sounds like it was helpful for you to understand what is happening and why, not working, etc. You can’t change something you don’t know! Hopefully the clinic was informative!
Here are a couple of options for you.

CoachAJ replied to the topic Tips for Riding in Wind in the forum Half Ironman Program (HIP) for Paid Participants 5 years, 5 months ago
Now the good feedback is rolling! Thanks Ryan for your helpful insights. My guess is no one is using a disc wheel either. But worth discussing. As for race wheels in general, practice! And practice outdoors 🙂 There is no wind on the trainer! We can tell you this or that but it really doesn’t matter unless you practice and feel comfo…[Read more]

CoachAJ replied to the topic Tips for Riding in Wind in the forum Half Ironman Program (HIP) for Paid Participants 5 years, 5 months ago
Since we have had no participation on wind riding strategies, let’s talk through some of these items. I guess Liz is the only one concerned about wind for Eagleman. The rest of you are going to be surprised!
As for wind, you were correct to engage your core. This will allow you to efficiently ride WITH the wind. The more aero you can get, the…[Read more]

Very impressive observations Julia! This demonstrates you are working hard on heart rate zone training. Nice work!
The answer is ‘it depends.’ Some people experience a difference in HR execution between indoor training and outdoor riding. Some can get their HR up on the trainer but not outdoors. Some can get their HR up outdoors but not on t…[Read more]

Great question Liz! Since this situation does and will likely apply to each and every single one of you (most of you in a month’s time), how do you handle the wind? What are you strategies?
It is pretty much guaranteed that Eagleman will be windy. So let’s talk through it!
