I do remember when I added weight training to my routine several years ago I was amazed at how quickly my body completely transformed. I'd love to see your training diets (for both ultra training and body building), if you're willing to share. My 41-year-old post-ankle surgery body is in a major rut right now, so it's time to shake things up!<BR/><BR/>My email is heinselrunner@earthlink.net.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16364393929171938371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6426765907755945845.post-19389251257016737342008-09-26T10:05:00.000-07:002008-09-26T10:05:00.000-07:00It is a bit more difficult training for a spring 1...It is a bit more difficult training for a spring 100. I have run the McNaughton 100 in April the past 4 years and have found that snowshoe running is great training! I enjoy running 50 miles on snowshoes and trail with Topaz much better than 50 miles on asphalt and ice! This year we are running an inaugural Zumbrota 100 miler in March. <BR/><BR/>Good work on the weights and stripping off the fat. That walking-that is something new for you! Good night 100 mile portion training too :)Julie Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08335126348681711755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6426765907755945845.post-26427968501786015842008-09-25T15:22:00.000-07:002008-09-25T15:22:00.000-07:00Thanks Ronda!

I do the incline walking with a very looooooong stride forcing that glute hamstring separation (booty lifter). I have a treadmill at home so I put the inlcine at 13% and the speed at 3.0-3.2. The key is keep your heart rate in the fat burning range so super low. Running will make it too high no matter how efficient we are so that's why I do the walking. Also, the change up in the muscles with the long stride is crazy. I actually think this kind of walking is a great recovery workout and I plan to add it when I start heavy training again. It really cranks on those glutes and upper hamstring portions of the muscles. The weight workouts are hard right now. Back on Monday, so lots of pull-ups. I do 6 sets of 6 weighted, wide grip trying to get the nice "V" shape and hit the bra fat area. I strap that funny waist belt with the chain and hang 25 pounds. The last two sets are incredibly hard and I have had to have some assistance on the those. Use the machine at your gym that will aid you. If you just keep at it you will be doing pull ups before you know it. Tuesdays, shoulders and abs. Wednesday, legs. Thursday, chest, biceps and triceps. Friday, off. Saturday, shoulders again. Sunday off. That's the weight training.<BR/><BR/>To get lean it's 80% diet! I know it might be hard to believe but it's true. It's all diet. If you want I will send you my menus to see how it's done. I have menus I use druing my utra training too, just send me your email address if you want them.<BR/><BR/>RondaRondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10832545114209221483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6426765907755945845.post-13194275925838167452008-09-24T09:58:00.000-07:002008-09-24T09:58:00.000-07:00Nothing like getting outside your comfort zone!

What are your workouts? I'm impressed that you're not chewing your arm off. <BR/><BR/>I'm trying to "lean up" and could do the morning and night cardio. I would technically run at lunch too but it would be a PITA. <BR/><BR/>I thought about Coyote 2 Moon (100k) but decided it might be sort of hard for me yet. I'm still a newbie :-)Dannihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02201053516148787578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6426765907755945845.post-30751117460193747452008-09-23T10:58:00.000-07:002008-09-23T10:58:00.000-07:00I'm new to Portland, but I imagine part of the cha...I'm new to Portland, but I imagine part of the challenge is getting some good mountainous training in since all those places to train around here will be covered in snow. I heard there are some good places to run in Tillamook State Forest that are mostly snow free in the winter (but maybe really slippery). I'm looking forward to checking those trails out eventually!Jessica DeLinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02087406261937964959noreply@blogger.com
