No cycling class or anything, we just have some 15year old cycling maschine in the cellar that i use for for training. Hmm I don't use any shoes while cycling and I'm not sure if my feet point down. Its been a while since i had problems with the Archilles tendon, last time i got inlays for my normal shoes to get rid of it, but i hadn't any problems with it walking barefoot or with VFF so far.
Ok I don't know if i do too much too early because I have no idea what would be suiting for the start of it all.

I really have bad luck with my training ambitions. First, after one week I had these archilles tendon problems, after I got rid of the pain I got ill with an inflamation of the bladder+prostate gland. So what do you think, is it better just to skip the two weeks of training and continue with the 4 week or return to week 2 of training and start from there?

I too am training for a tri season, and hoping to complete the run portion in my VFFs. My strengths are biking foremost, running (interval jog/run/walk for long distances) and swimming is my worst. I have just started hitting the pool, but I am struggling with my breathing.
Current training schedule:
Monday: Bike (25 miles minimum)
Tues: Run (3+ miles) + weight training
Wed: Swim
Thurs: Run (3+ miles) + weight training
Fri: Swim
I have a local gym I use in the morning and my new job has a gym that is available to me as well. I plan on switching some of my weight training off the morning schedule and move it over to the work gym (as well as some cross fit style workouts as well).

You are early in the plan just head back to week 2, and ease back into it - go easy the first week back from taking time off. perhaps go at about 50% duration of all the workouts, see how you feel then go back in for week 3. it all depends on what the plan looks like. just take it easy - there is plenty of time to get ready..... wonder if the inflamation was from the biking? I have known guys that got an irritated prostate from too much biking. perhaps you did too much biking too soon?? and if you aren't set up correctly the seat it can cause problems. how are you feeling?? |

Not sure, I had only a single cycling session and it was indoors. Usually you get such in inflamation from getting too cold over a period in the kidney and/or bladder section of the body if I remeber correctly. But my bad luck continued, after fighting off that inflamation I just got a irritable bladder, you wouldn't believe how annoying that is, so I have to extend the training break even more.

sorry to hear about your string of illnesses/irritations/injuries....but take the time off that you need to rest and get healthy again.

breathing is a tough one, but that comes easier when you are more relaxed in the water. its not just about turning your head to the water - you really need to rotate your whole body to breathe - everything moves as a unit. check out total immersion swimming - they have some great drills to help with breathing and swimming technique. What exactly are you struggling with in regards to breathing?

You are the third person in the last couple of days to point me towards total immersion. The issue probably all falls back to remaining relaxed so that I get enough air in. I struggle keeping my head down due to the *fear* that I can't get enough oxygen in during the short head/body turn. I did better today, but I really need some more practice/coaching.
Which is recommended - the total immersion book or also some of their videos?

First time I hear anything about Total Immersion, sounds intersting. Okay that would really totally change my swiming style, worth a try. And it really looks like fun.
I've been watching to that presentation at MIT, its kind of an eye opener.

I took a total immersion workshop weekend a bunch of years ago when I first got into tri's - a friend highly reccomended it. It was well worth the money.
I'd say that the video is better than a book - I have the book and there are good pics - but there is no substiture for seeing it in action. the clinic would be optimal because you get pool time with certified instructors. but the video would be the next best thing.....

Interestingly, the Total Immersion principles are pretty much like the POSE (swimming) principles, from what I could find out with a few minutes of googling.

Ok I'm back into training after my sickness. I just did 20km on a stationary bike and after that a 2,5km run. My pulse at the end of the run was a bit to high but I felt great none the less, the weather was horrible, it rained at it was cold but I did it anyway. The past few weeks I did swimming, running and cycling on a regular basis so I'm not so exhausted after the 20km / 2,5km. I'm currently not sure if I can achieve my goal of finishing a triathlon before my birthday because I lack a bike  |
