Peasantman Weekend!
As we talked about at the kick off meeting, we encourage participation at the Peasantman weekend. There are so many opportunities for you, your training partners, your significant others or even your family! However, there is limited accommodations available already! There are only 18 options (cabins and/or camping) out of…[Read more]

For those who were not able to attend the Kick Off Meeting (or for those who might like to listen in again…you can always gain another tips or two!), here is the recorded link. It’s not perfect because I recorded it from my laptop. However hopefully it will offer you an opportunity to listen in (again)!

Thank you Barbara for sharing your experience! While you were low tech, it worked! Why? Because, like anything you want to change, it must be a conscious process. You must engage the neuromuscular system (brain to nerves to muscles) to make change. Most athletes breeze through form drills and wonder why they can never change form (run…[Read more]

CoachAJ replied to the topic Power meter? in the forum Half Ironman Program (HIP) for Paid Participants 5 years, 7 months ago
Great feedback everyone! Thank you for sharing your experiences. Just to add a few extra points.
Power can be a great training tool. Like others stated, it is great for indoor riding like Trainerroad or Zwift. This is a productive and cost effective way to gain experience with power.
Power meters have come down in cost making them more aff…[Read more]

Great feedback Liz! Since there are many others in the program doing OSP, how do others feel about using power?
I had several slides that dove into power. However we didn’t have time to review them. Before I share insights into the use of power, let’s hear about other’s experiences with using it first. Anyone else?

PLEASE read the Athlete’s Guide. It walks you through exactly how to do a one time sync so that your sports watch data will automatically populate in the workout and show it as complete.

Thank you to everyone who came out on Monday. We know it was a lot of information but we only had one shot to get it out to you 🙂 And thank you Jorge for the very helpful overview.
As a follow up, here are a few areas where there were remaining questions.

Thank you Barbara for the helpful feedback. Since changing running form is very challenging and you seemed to pick it up quite well, do you have any tips for those out there who might want to work on a higher cadence?
Thank you again for everyone that came out last evening!

What a perfect day to sit down and talk shop (and socialize)! Since we have an abundance of information and education to cover, we will start right at 6:30 pm. In addition, the library requires us to be finished and out the door by 8:30. We encourage everyone to continue the conversation across the street at Guapo’s!

Great feedback, Ryan! I also have an old school Garmin 910XT and it’s stood up the test of time! Let’s talk more about the options for sports watches and HR monitors this evening.

Ryan hit the nail on the head! This is a great introduction to this subject that we more into on Monday. Be ready as it’s one of the most important ones. No one wants to end up overtrained or broken 🙂
