how to input trial test
um, feeling stupid. Have a trial training plan and have arrived at the first test. Have the data but don't know how to share it. I tried to input my test information via the EN Calculator. This must not be how to go about sharing this info. Give this new girl a hand.

What do you current runs look like now? # runs per week, total weekly volume, ballpark average pace, etc.
How long have you been doing ^this^ consistently? Any current nagging injuries or history of?
6 runs in the past 24 days. 4 runs 30 min. or shorter at 11 mp min. pace 2 runs 45 - 60 min. same pace. Last time I ran consistently was for fitness Jan to June 2014. Ran 4 to 6 X a wk including track work and hill runs. Ran a 10K at about a 10 min. pace during that time. By April had developed pain in my shins and left heal. Took two wks off and pain improved but did not go away until this summer when I ran less than 1x a wk. and got new shoes. No current pain.
To run outside I have to get in a car and drive to a secure location which takes time. I like to do my track work out outside as well as my long run (80 min or more) but all others are on a treadmill. The trainer is next to the treadmill, therefore when I do both it is easier to stay inside. My half marathon pace was 8:49 I think.
Ok, I think you've been running pain free and consistently enough to continue with our OutSeason training plan. However, you'll need to be smart with regards to should you / should you not test, should I dial down the intensity of the running from week to week, workout to workout, etc.
In short, the more injury prone / close you are to getting over an injury, the more you need to be smart with making the modifications you feel you need to make, in real time, to the running in our plans. Your number 1 goal is stay healthy and work with us in the forums to find a combination of frequency, volume, and intensity and allows you to continue to run healthily. IE, don't follow any training plan, even ours, into a brick wall.
Let me know if you have any questions.
I feel slow and fat running but there is no pain aside from the psychological. Looking back on where I was a few years ago reminds me that I was so terrified to lose what I had. Now here I am having lost it. It was a slow, yummy, relaxing decline. Only now I am sneaking up on 45 y.o. and my body is changing. I keep telling myself that it is ok, I am not afraid of hard work and I so desperately want to be in shape again; also, my best times are yet to come. It is week one and I trust your experience but admittedly I am a little scared that I am not running enough. I fear I will not be able to go the distance in the marathon the end of Feb. No changes to the plan just wanted to share my thoughts.
You'll be fine, but also in no way is running/not running a marathon related to a successful Ironman. Doing so before an IM is not required, in other words.
Please read this if you haven't already.
Great news! Good luck!
Yes. In general, if you miss workouts for any reason, just forget them and move on. Don't try to make them up somewhere downstream
I been sick the last few days. Been trying to loose weight but this is not the way I envisioned dropping lbs. I invested this "rest" time in checking out wiki and learning more about my bike. My plan is to modify my work out today and just move forward in response to how my body feels. What sucks is the end of last week when I finally felt strong again I didn't have the time to work out; only to be knocked back down with another sickness. Hey, it is better than an injury that could set me back wks so I am still positive, I just wanted to let you know where I am at.
Ok. It is what it is. Don't try to make up missed homework this week. And you're far enough out from everything that taking those days off and carrying on with the schedule next week (ie, not repeating this week) is fine. In other words, you don't need any special modifications. Just do what you gotta do to get better, then carry on with the schedule.
Good luck!
