| Q and A with Dave Scott |
|
From Joe G. from Nashville:
I am an
experienced triathlete in my 50's. I used to be a pretty
good runner (10K PR 36:30 15 years ago). For the last
five years I have not been able to really train very well
for the run.
I can swim really well and my ride is strong. But if I try
to do intervals to increase by run speed I nearly
always get injured. I am able to lope along at 10-11
minute miles for 20 or so miles per week. But that is
not getting me faster or fitter. I have tried the elliptical
trainer with some success.
Do you have any suggestions for what I should do? I
keep straining my calves when I try to pick up the
speed. I stretch a 3-4 days a week and get a massage
weekly. I do a set of 100 squats about twice a week.
From Dave Scott:
Dear Joe
First off,
drop the
100 squats 2 times per week. I like the squat exercise,
but you need to vary the movement pattern and foot
placement. My suggestion is . . .

| How to "catch!" |
|
In swimming the "catch" is very important. Here is
a land drill that makes it easy to practice so you get it
right.

| Doin' the Double |
|
Before I got into triathlon I discovered the world of
ultra
cycling and in '02 embarked on a 6 year stint of riding
and racing the California double century circuit. In that
time I learned a lot about pacing, nutrition and training
and because of the distances I was riding I
encountered a lot of people scratching their heads
wondering how in the world I prepared myself to cover
200 miles on a bicycle.

Running Tips for a Faster T-Run |
|
|
|
by Dr. Alex Mroszczyk-McDonald MAP Team Member
and Half Ironman Winner
Once an athlete is confident and strong enough in
both cycling and running there is a third step, combing
the two into one smooth, seamless transition which is
vital for success in triathlon. Learning to comfortably
move from a hunched over biking position to an
upright running position can be tough, especially at
first, however, you can teach your body to adjust to this
transition. Below are a few ideas to incorporate into
your training that will help this process.
1. The T-run: After a long bike ride practice a quick
transition and go for a short 10-30min run at a nice
relaxed pace. Have your run gear laid out in advance
and spend less than 5 minutes in transition, the faster
the better. This will help your body become more
accustom to the dramatic difference between cycling
and running.
2. Neuromuscular conditioning: After your body
becomes adjusted to comfortably running off the bike
try incorporating some very short busts of speed into
your T-run this helps to develop the Neuromuscular
connection and allows the brain to better and more
accurately control the muscles. Example is 20" sprint,
40" easy running begin with no more than just a few of
these and gradually increase the number.
