2/24 Cycle workout: Slams!
This is what my class did tonight. This was a tough workout, especially since we have not done a lot of out of the saddle type workouts. Read P.S. below for more details. Special shout out to fellow SPIN instructor Joseph for the 'Slams' idea. Thanks Joseph!
Warm up:
5 min. easy spin
Main Set:
30 sec. baseline pace x 30 sec. push in the saddle, level 6 x 30 sec. push out of saddle, level 6; all flat road
1 min. baseline x 1 min. push in saddle, level 6 x 1 min. push out of saddle, level 6; all flat
2 min. baseline x 2 min. push in saddle, level 6-7 x 2 min. push out of saddle, level 6-7; all flat
3 min. baseline x 3 min. push in saddle, level 7 x 3 min. push out of saddle, level 7; all flat
-2 min. easy
-5 min. climb, increase tension every one minute, level 6
-1 min. easy
2 min. climb, 30 sec flat x 30 sec. pick up out of saddle on hill
3 min. baseline pace x 3 min. out of saddle push, level 7 x 3 min. push in saddle, level 7; all on flat road
2 min. baseline pace x 2 min. push out of saddle, level 7 x 2 min. push in saddle, level 7; all on flat road
1 min. baseline pace x 1 min. push out of saddle, level 7 x 2 min. push in saddle, level 7; all on flat road
30 sec. baseline x 30 sec. push out of saddle, level 7 x 30 sec. push in saddle, level 7; all on flat road
Cool down and stretch
Total time: 60 min.
P.S.
So there is a lot going on in this workout. The idea is to make your legs really hurt/build up that lactic acid while still maintaining good racing form/pace. Start the workout just below race pace effort. Once you are onto your first 3 min. set then you should defiantly be at race pace effort. Do not worry about rpm or turning a big gear for this one. Just have enough resistance to stay in control (for both in and out of the saddle pushes). Note, you will probably have to add a little tension to the bike once out of the saddle.
When we are biking rarely are we out of the saddle for more than 30 seconds at any one time. Any one who cycles out on the road can attest to this. The point of this workout is to really work your legs to the point of fatigue while still trying maintain your goal race pace. This is good for triathletes and cyclist alike.

Run workout 2/22: 800s
one mile warm up, followed by 8 x 800m repeats, then a mile cool down, with a one lap jog rest in between each one. Simple as that. Oh and pacing wise you should be looking to hit a little faster than your 5k pace, so these should be fairly quick but make sure you can do all 8!
Thanks Thomas

Running Workout: Running Drills
Like any sport, doing certain drills and exaggerated movements can help to improve your fitness and form. Are are a few for runners....
1. High Knee- kick the knees high up towards the chest while running forward
2. Skipping- sounds crazy but doing an exaggerated skip can help.
3. Rabbit hops- with both feet together load your knees with your body weight by performing a squate then push off the ground and 'hop' forward (do this as a continuous drill).
4. Strides- as the name suggests, just open up your stride and run down the street.
5. Stride on incline- same as above except you do it going up a hill. This will help to develop power behind your legs.
6. Heel Slides- i.e. kick your own butt with your heels as you run down the track, road, etc.
7. Stadium steps- run up some stairs if they are available to you after a run. This forces your body to get your knees high and your leg speed up.
Try doing some of these a couple times a week after a run. If it work awesome... if doesn't then do not do them!

Weight Workout: Go Big!?
Got this one from an article I read, which I will try to post shortly.
GO BIG
To harness your muscles' latent power, slip this maximum-effort gym session into your strength routine once every three to four months.
(1) 10–20 minutes easy aerobic warm-up
To harness your muscles' latent power, slip this maximum-effort gym session into your strength routine once every three to four months.
(1) 10–20 minutes easy aerobic warm-up
(2) Pick an appropriate lift for your sport, like the dead lift, bench press, or back squat. Estimate the maximum weight you think you can lift once with proper form, then do:
(a) 10 reps at 35 percentof your estimated max (EM)
(b) 5 reps at 55–60 percent of your EM
(c) 2 reps at 70–75 percent of your EM
(d) 1 rep at 85 percent EM
(e) 1 rep at 95 percent EM
(3) Do one rep of your max. If you get it and think you can go higher, try a small increase. If you can't get it, reduce weight slightly until you can complete the move. Always end on a successful lift—and always use a spotter.(a) 10 reps at 35 percentof your estimated max (EM)
(b) 5 reps at 55–60 percent of your EM
(c) 2 reps at 70–75 percent of your EM
(d) 1 rep at 85 percent EM
(e) 1 rep at 95 percent EM
Compliments of Nick Heil from Outside magazine. I will upload the article later.

Weight Workout 4:upper body workout for swimmers
Warm up:
5-10 min.
Upper Body:
3 sets of 10 cable cross over pulls
10 push ups
3 sets of 10 dumbbell flies (increase weight after each set)
15 push ups
3 sets of 10 bench press (increase weight after each set)... do the bench press on a stability ball for added difficultly
20 push ups
4 sets of 15 Seated Rows
3 sets of 15 reverse fly
2 sets of 15 standing front raise
2 sets of 10 lateral raise
3 sets of 15 Lateral pulldown
4 sets of 15 upright row
20 pushups
2 sets of 20 tricep kickbacks (20 each arm)
2 sets of 40 dips
15 push ups
2 sets of 20 bicep curls
2 sets of 10 concentration curls (10 each arm)
2 sets of 20 reverse curl (i.e. palms down on bar)
10 push ups
Finish with 10 minutes of core
Cool Down:
5-10 minutes + stretching
P.S.
This is just a sample of some of the exercises you can do to help increase upper body strength (regardless of whether you are a swimmer or not). Start light with any weight, but as you progress through each set, as well as throughout the workout, you can add weight as needed. Generally, you want to use the 5%-10% rule. Only increase the weight by about 5%-10% after each set (if you feel like it). This is a good workout for swimmers as it helps to strengthen the all important chest, shoulder, and back muscles (i.e. traps, rhomboids, posterior deltoids).

Start light with any weight, but as you progress through each set, as well as throughout the workout, you can add weight as needed. Generally, you want to use the 5%-10% rule. Only increase the weight by about 5%-10% after each set (if you feel like it). This is a good workout for swimmers as it helps to strengthen the all important chest, shoulder, and back muscles (i.e. traps, rhomboids, posterior deltoids).

2/17 Cycling Workout: Power Intervals and Playlist
Tonight's workout was a solid interval and power workout. Great for building endurance and getting your legs used to feeling 'used' for that swim to bike transition.
Warm up:
5 minutes easy
10 x 1 min. leg isolations (5 each leg). Increase tension after every 2 min.
Main set:
3 x 3 min. pushes, flat road, start 90 rpm and increase tension after every interval.
1 min. recovery in between each set
1 x 4 min. climb, heavy tension
6 x 1 min. one leg isolations (3 each leg), increase tension every 2 minutes
3 x 3 min. pushes, flat road, start 90 rpm and increase tension after every 3 min. interval
1 min. recovery in between each interval
5 min. climb, heavy tension, push race pace if you feel like it.
Cool Down:
5-10 min. easy
Playlist
P.S.
This is great for building power in the legs. The workout may not seem that bad at first but if you do the one leg isolations right, by the end, your legs will be on fire (almost like an incredibly aerobic leg weight workout). Great job tonight guys!

Running Practice 2/8: Coach Thomas Track Workout
This is what Thomas is having everyone do today for Track practice...
400, 800, 1200, 1600, 1200, 800, 400
We'll have a one mile warm up and one mile cool down, and we'll take a one lap walk/jog in between each interval (two laps after the 1600). This should be a great workout for getting us back into speed work, as it isn't too long. The danger with this workout is starting out too fast. I recommend a pace that's below your 5k pace, but remember not too fast, as for many of you (including me) this will be your first day of speed work in a while. Total distance including warm up and cool down is about 7.75 miles.

Cycling workout 20: Ryan Whitely Workout
I like this one a lot... hint hint
need a cadence reader so good for a bike trainer or a spin bike with the panel with the speed/cadence/ etc on it
15 min warm up ez
turn to a medium hard level (not too hard) and start at 65 rpms for 1 min, then 66 rpms for 1 min, and so on all the way until 95 rpms, all while keeping that same tension you began with. (so 31 mins total for main set)
15 min cool down
...Thanks Ryan

Running Workout: Trail trial!
So I did an 8 mile trail run/race yesterday and that got me thinking... trial running is a very explosive sport. You are constantly trying to find your balance, jump over obstacles, sprint up steep hills, etc.
Try this...
Warm up:
Go to the trail and just do easy 15 min.
Main Set:
Find a two part hill... i.e. a hill with two inclines and one decline (a downhill). Practice running up, down, and up the hill as fast as you can.
Do this 5-7 times (race pace effort)
Next, find a long, flat, and technical section of trail, preferably rooty/rocky section of trail. Practice running at race pace while making sure not to trip and fall. Do this 5-7 times (race pace effort)
Next, find a one part hill... i.e. up then down. Sprint up the hill then practice running down the hill on the other side. Do this 5-7 times (race pace effort)
Next, go back to that flat but technical section of trail. Do 15 sec. on x 15 sec. (sprint) for as long as the trail will allow you. Do this for 5-10 min.
Cool Down:
10-15 minutes easy
End the workout with some strides, barefoot, on a nice grass field.
P.S.
Great do to if you want to break up the monotonous intervals on the track or on the treadmill.

Running Workout 13: Treadmill workout
This is one I did a few days ago...
Warm up:
1 mile easy on treadmilll
Main Set: set incline to 1.5 for baseline incline for rest of workout
-Increase speed to level 6 or just below race pace (working on good tempo) and hold for 2 miles
After 2 miles...
-Run with same speed for 2 min. on a 5 incline. Do 2 min. hill x 2 min. 1.5 incline for 1 mile
-Run with same speed for 4 min. incline at 5 incline then 3 min. at 1.5 incline then 1 min. at 6.0 incline
After this (which is about 2 miles)
-Drop incline back to 1.5 and increase speed to ideal 5k race pace for 1 mile.
*Note: There are no recoveries in between these sets. Hold same pace throughout (i.e. straight 5 mile tempo with only the incline changing).
Cool Down:
1 mile
Total Miles- 7
P.S.
This is a really good sub-threshold/aerobic running workout for the treadmill. Good for tuning out and just dialing in as well. Enjoy.

Cycle Workout 2/3: Attack the Hills/the hills are your friend
This is what we did tonight. Challenging class, but great for getting yourself familiar with the hills...
Total Time: 60 minutes
Warm up:
5 min. easy
3 min. build; start level 5 build to level 6, flat road
3 min. flat; 30 on x 30 off, level 6 push
Main Set: (all intervals should be at race pace/level 7)
1 min. flat push then immediately add tension and push 1 min. on the hill (hold same pace)
1 min. flat push then 2 min. hard climb
1 min. flat push then 3 min. hard climb
1 min. flat push then 4 min. hard climb
1 min. flat push then 5 min. hard climb
1 min. easy in between each flat/climb interval
2 min. easy
2 x 2 min. pushes on flat road level 7, with 1 min. easy in between
3 x 1 min. pushes on flat road level 7, with 30 seconds easy in between
3 min. attack zone on heavy hill, basically sprint as many times as you can for as long as you can for 3 min. on a hill
Cool Down:
10 min.
P.S.
This workout is great for hill climbing. It forces you to hold your pace from a flat road to a climb (like being out on the road). Furthermore, the flat pushes at the end force your already tired legs to turn over that big gear and still try to finish strong. I really like this workout for getting your body used to really racing up the hills (as opposed to just trying to get over them).

Running Workout 12: 2/1 Thomas Hill Attack
This is what Thomas and gang did for their running workout today...
mile warm-up (UGA track to the bottom of the hill),
-followed by the hill repeats which were...
-4 repeats to Finley St (think 1 min. climb),
3 repeats to Pope St (think 2 min. climb), and finally
2 repeats to Church St (the top of the hill) (think 3-4 min. climb).
We did about a one mile cool down back to the track.
In total it was about a 6 mile workout including warm-up/cool down.
Note: if doing this workout on a treadmill, use a steep gradient.
Thanks Coach Thomas!
