Coach Al,
on the video on BT site you mention that the powerpoint presentation used will be posted on your website. I can’t find it. The video didn’t show all of the slides, can you please direct me to where that presentation is?
Thanks for very informative presentation.

Comment on Seminar from the World Multisport Expo… by Ingo

Hi Al,

I watched your video on beginners triathlete. In there you mentioned “Newton-Running” which was new for me. So I researched it. I am pursuing a similar approach called “POSE-Method of Running” (Dr. Romanov). I was curious what you think about the effectiveness of these “Gravity running” methods. POSE for example negates the existence of push-off as Gravity is the sole force that propels the runner forward. I thought you might have some insightful, less biased thoughts.

Thanks,
Ingo

Hey Coach,

Great post and I think that this issue is something that all of us run into from time to time. I know that I have months that balance is a word that does not exist and I know that I appreciate the support, motivation and understanding that you put forth as our coach.

Thanks,

Ron

Coach Al-

I am trying to run my PR marathon this year (hoping for 3:20 or under)and wondered if you have a training program for this time. Also, I have had injuries in the past and try to avoid running more than 4 days/week. I bike on those alternate days, and have one day of complete rest. I would love to hear if you have a program that would fit my needs and help me do my PR!!!

Comment on Making some great progress with ErgVideo… by Susan

ErgVideo ROCKS! Richard does customer service like no other - don’t hesitate over fear of technology - he will walk you through it and make it work. It is a fun, challenging way to use the trainer. Coach Al can set up workouts with it to help you achieve your goals! Computrainer’s 3D doesn’t hold a candle to it. Go ahead and get a “6-pack” of videos - they’re that good!

So when the pool is being filled with ice-cold water from a hose that feels like it is being poured on you, resist the temptation to cut short the workout. I did the whole planned swim training, but it would have been easier to resist the temptation to head to the hot showers early if I had thought of that swim as a kernel that will help make the jar full of popcorn.
