FOS ~ Week 14 ~ Celebration!
Well, the time has come for our group to move on. To that, I say thank you for jumping in when you can, providing training updates, team mojo and all around good cheer. Join me as Kool and the Gang usher into our final week togethe ~ whether on the same plan, or in spirt! {https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GwjfUFyY6M}
We've got swimming on deck, a continuation of those super fun single leg drills, spin ups, longer main sets, leading into testing on Thursday, (hopefully) an outside ride on Saturday, and perhaps a 10K or 1/2 marathon on Sunday.
If you are racing, please let us know so that we can give you the proper EN sendoff to the start line.
Although our group was small, I appreciate the opportunity (thank you @Brenda Ross ) to head up the bike thread.
My schedule is shaping up to be super crazy, and I am not sure where this season will lead, but I will share with you that given the few races I've had, the OS works!
Stay in touch, and see you on the forums!
Cheers,
Beth

Back to back biking for me Sat and Sun.....
Sunday several of us did the EN ABP ride on Zwift: https://www.strava.com/activities/975259103
I ran both days but fatigued.
Slogged through a 26 X 100 (50/50) swim this morning: https://www.strava.com/activities/976659578/overview
Felt better after the swim than before.
Happy week 14!

I did a 15mile trail relay yesterday with my daughter, and one of her XC chums. It reminded me a bit of your race day. We slogged through the trails at Mendon Ponds Park - wet, cold, rainy, hail (maybe), and snow (I think so!). I was off today and want to ride tomorrow if I can get my bike in time! New shifters are on! Woo hoo! If I can't get out and ride, I will head to the pool. I am pretty sore from yesterday.
One of these days, I am going to have to get myself on Zwift so I can play with the cool kids! Nice ride around London - one of my favorite cities.
How do you strava-fy for the swim? Plugged into your Garmin?
Happy first day of week 14!

@Elizabeth Hornak Damn! The leg strength it takes and fitness driven by a 15 mile trail run is quite exceptional! Congratulations! Rest!
5 X 3' interval run for me this morning inside of 7 miles.....was tough!
Happy Tuesday all!

@Shaughn Simmons Thank you - we are still cleaning up the mud!
@John Culberson knees are still a work in progress.
I did my bike test yesterday as today I was beyond slammed for time.

http://https//connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/1726344907 - test - if anyone is willing to help me unpack these results, (super happy just to see mph!) I would appreciate it.
Today I ran an easy 2 miles with my youngest daughter. YAY! I had a super intense massage yesterday to work out my cranky VMO, which is contributing to my knee issues.
Hope everyone is enjoying the week!
Now 2-3 months ago on that same course can you compare time and Avg HR? If you time has improved at and equal or lower HR you are more fit!
You now use that avg HR of 152 to derive your HR zones using the EN calculator. If you need help with that, holler!
Nice work!
@John Culberson - Hope to see you sometime on the Sunday EN ABP Zwift ride!
Run Part 1 complete this morning feeling about 80% and better than yesterday. We'll see if there is life for part 2 later .....

Cool early morning and got to see the sunrise.....love that.
KMF all!

Yes, will need an assist in updating the HR.
I ran three miles this morning. https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/1730560827 I am having trouble getting my cadence up. If there any suggestions, I would appreciate it.
I don't think I will have time to ride - today is my eldest daughter's junior prom. So proud that is she is flying solo. I will post a picture.
Cheers!
My daughter, and rising EN member, Emma!
