It's a little older, but, does provide a good introduction and logical sequence to strength training for newbies to the stuff. Yes, there's quite a bit of "cheesy" with the book. But it does explain weight/strength training and provides decent variety.Snakebitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16879428992616238833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-78616735587198854182015-11-02T11:33:52.917-07:002015-11-02T11:33:52.917-07:00So glad to hear your bike training is going well a...So glad to hear your bike training is going well and you are having fun on the bike again!! More snow this weekend and this coming week in Fairbanks. I'm bummed I can't get out yet to enjoy it but trails are starting to shape up nicely. Can't wait to hear your 100 MoN report. You can do it! Wish I was going to be there to do it with you (although not sure I could deal with the 80 degree weather). Have fun!Corrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18079166369675219383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-31386640664697381372015-11-02T11:24:51.252-07:002015-11-02T11:24:51.252-07:00Tips are always appreciated!

I'd still do my fun weekend outings but perhaps less time outdoors during the week, during the allergy and grumpy heat season. <br /><br />I frequently develop IT-band irritation that most likely stems from extremely tight hamstrings. Most of my running issues, including my tendency toward "slurring" my feet and tripping and falling, probably centers on my hamstrings. I've wondered, if I became really disciplined about a stretching or yoga program, how much that might help. Again, all these are "off season" ambitions, as it's just a little too much to do this on top of trying to build up my endurance, which past experience has shown me needs volume over anything else. Once ITI is over, we'll see if I can avoid the lure of a summer race and really try to focus on wellness. :) Jill Homerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02983065990450931943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-72243610501636895062015-11-02T08:11:26.844-07:002015-11-02T08:11:26.844-07:00I certainly don't know everything but I have l...I certainly don't know everything but I have learned it's better to lift first. When you do cardiovascular first, especially at the rate you do, you don't have much left to give. Also, I never used to do leg work in the gym either. I am paying for that now. Sone muscles become stronger as we do our running/hiking/biking and others stay weak, thus I am dealing with a possible ITB/quad imbalance thing right now. Squats are the best, possibly.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11166776565191771729noreply@blogger.com
