Rob PMFF Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I hate how the cold weather exacerbates the asthma. I was told to wear a scarf over my mouth, to help warm the air, when you get too fatigued to keep breathing through the nose. Have you ever tried that? I haven't yet, personally.

vivalasvegans Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 That never really worked for me, i wish it did. my asthma is mostly under control, there's been a flu going around here that's making a lot of people end up with pneumonia, i think my lungs were just extra weak from it. be careful out there, rob! monday:commute1 hour trainer ride upper body pttuesday:commute1 hour trainer ride thirty thirtyupper body pt: could not even manage a fly movementwednesday:commute1 hour trainer ride coached Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaryStella Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I LOVE seeing the HILL! When I come out to portland we're definitely riding that beast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivalasvegans Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 There's a lot of good climbs around here. We'll have so much fun. And pain. @RC yep vegan portlanders in iron! @Lobster it was pretty challenging. I didn;t think it would make my glutes sore because they didn't fatigue at the time, but they did end up being a little sore from it. Thursday:1 hour training ride, single leg and cadence drillsFriday:commuted, realized my legs were toasted, and just hung in the weight room in the gym, but did it endurance style with a little plyo thrown in for good measure. Also benched again, this is what that looked like:6x4512x653x12x75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaryStella Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 do you have a tri bike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivalasvegans Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 nope. at this point i am only able to ride a bike that would normally be too small for me, but this week i might actually pick up a tt bike i've had my eye on for a while. it's hard to ride this bike in the drops for a long time, and i would rather ride in the drops than in the little draft legal aerobars. wow i have not logged workouts here in a while. i've been keeping to my training plan except last week i did less upper body than i would have liked. lunges are coming along nicely. some highlights have included training through a sprained finger, penicillin sensitivity, and riding over razor blades. i've been SO tired. just been coming home and crashing right out. yesterday was the first day i started to feel like myself again. i didn't log miles yesterday but i was on the road for 3 hours, three sets of different kinds of intervals. it was way fun cuz i got to do a route i've been wanting to do for a long time. left it all out there. wicked fun.

MaryStella Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 glad your feeling like yourself again. those highlights kinda sound nasty. congrats on the good riding lately! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryStella Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 reason i asked about the bike is because i am in the process of setting mine up and i was just looking for ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
