[reply]Ed and Bigsky17 this is for you.
Volume and frequency Ed will improve your running. Are you running 6 times per week at least 35+ mpw? If not that would help and help with those few extra pounds, as would a week with the food police. Contact SAC and see what he is doing over the holidays, he is housetrained. Which leads to Mr. 17's ? about junk miles. After you have rested there is really no thing as a junk mile when building your base. You need to increase your volume to develop the aerobic pathways. There are stupid miles like sprinting for the city limit sign every ride, or getting into a pace line that just keeps getting faster and faster spitting people off the back, or going to the track to run intervals. really, getting into shape is about consisteny day after day after day week after week after week after week after week after well you get the idea. triathlon is, an aerobic sport and doing lots of base miles puts lots of money in the bank towards being able to go further faster. You would be surprised how fast you actually got if you took 24-30 weeks to develop base fitness. You could do climbing, and some LT stuff, but if you were consistent for that long you'd be a monster. 12-15 hours per week for 30 weeks will get you further than 18 hours this week 4 the next 6 the next 12 the next etc.
So avoid the always accelerating pace lin and the group run that starts easy but ends up being a hanner fest and just put in the miles.[/reply]
Does SAC babysit?
