Dru Posted April 3, 2003 Posted April 3, 2003 jogging will not help your climbing ability. instead of wasting time jogging, you should just do more climbing-specific training. Quote
Sphinx Posted April 3, 2003 Posted April 3, 2003 I rather like using the Stair-Master. Pretty climbing-specific and pretty convenient too. Quote

But this winter has been a bad one for all three. To many hours at the computer and too many days of poor conditions. Â Anyway, I need to start getting in shape again. I've started jogging a couple of miles a day, sit ups, push ups, stuff like that. As well as visiting the plastic, so weak it's pitiful. Â Any other starting from scratch suggestions? Â Best way to stay in shape is not to get out of shape in the first place, weak american boy. Quote
JGowans Posted April 3, 2003 Posted April 3, 2003 I used to be a full-time runner. I'd train twice a day every day except for race days. Anyway, as a way to lessen the stress on the body, I'd do pool sessions twice a week. Â I know it may look dorky to the regular swimmers, but I swear by these types of sessions. Fairly intense, non-impact, and a good change up from pounding the pavement. Â Get in a good 45 minute workout doing various kicks and other exercises while holding on to the side as well as mimic your running without touching the bottom. Â Whenever I'm training for marathons now, I try to get back in this habit to help prevent injuries. If you find the exercises too easy, you can add weight to your wrists and/or ankles. Â Hope this was helpful. Quote

Running up hills till I puke doesn't sound like much fun... Â But there's plenty of puke-inducing hills to run up in A-town! Â Beta: if you want a nice, more level trail run, head up the Loop Road to Toothpick Trail or the Nature Trail. Nice up there. Quote

Â It will help your climbing ability if you're working on your endurance. Throwin' a little jogging into your routine works wonders for your ability to hang in there 'til you tag the chains on your latest proj'. True fact. Quote
JGowans Posted April 3, 2003 Posted April 3, 2003 Btw, one year, I did the NY marathon. I was having a really hard time with one of my knees locking up on me. Anyway, what got me through the last 2 miles was this absolute babe that passed me. I fixed my beady eyes on her amazing derriere and while I was hypnotized, I cruised through those last couple of miles following right behind her. Â I find myself running at Greenlake instead of Discovery Park sometimes for that very reason. It's amazing what a nice looking chick can do to prevent fatigue Quote

Ha!  I got beat by a lot of girls but this one in particular, I sprinted past her with about 200 metres to go. That's probably worse than being beat by her...typical guy with too much ego and not a lot of sense. I tried to find her after the finish but lost her in the sea of foil blankets. I'm guessing she would have called me out for sprinting away like that anyway. Quote
specialed Posted April 3, 2003 Posted April 3, 2003 Right on!! That's classic. I ran high school x-country with the hottest chicks in the world. Ever since then I've always wanted to see them again to see if they were trully hot or just exagerrated delusions of my sex and oxygen deprived teenage brain.

scott Posted April 3, 2003 Posted April 3, 2003 Cycling is the best weight loss exercise I have ever done. If you follow a program like the one outlined in 'the cyclists training bible' by friel, you will get in great shape. ten weeks of lots of miles at 140-150 heart rate, then start to add different types of intervals. you can burn thousands of calories in a few hours.

sketchfest Posted April 3, 2003 Posted April 3, 2003 Hey DFA, when did you live in Ashland? Your mention of Toothpick brings back great memories of the sweet mtn biking down there. When I lived above OSF, I could head out my back door, up through the park, onto loop road and ride all the way up to mt. A, then head down for the smooth, fast and terribly to short toothpick trail....ahhh to be back in college! Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted April 3, 2003 Posted April 3, 2003 From '77 to '94, and then back and forth a couple times before settling in PDX. DFA did the Mt. Ashland run/walk (the walk) once, but never did bike past toothpick. More keen on bombing back down, and no patience for that much uphill slogging. Quote
sketchfest Posted April 3, 2003 Posted April 3, 2003 I was there from 89-96, did a lot of stuff with the some of the local rafting companies, Eagle Sun (before they got bought out) then the Adventure Center, even managed a little trip or two with Noahs. Good times, great place Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted April 3, 2003 Posted April 3, 2003 DFA knew a couple folks at the Adventure Center. Did you know Robyn J. or that huge guy from NZ (or was it Australia?), what was his name? Nigel, was it? Quote
sketchfest Posted April 3, 2003 Posted April 3, 2003 Didn't Robyn work downtown in the Kiosk? I barely new the big guy, I believe that his name WAS Nigel. The guy I knew best was Zach Kaufman and a guy we call Scotty(never knew his last name) Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted April 3, 2003 Posted April 3, 2003 Yeah, she worked in the Kiosk, but I think she got out on the river a bit, too. Zach and Scotty don't ring a bell. Didja know any local climbers down there? Not that there were too many, of course. Quote
sketchfest Posted April 4, 2003 Posted April 4, 2003 Zach was one of the owners, he and a couple of others pulled their money together to form the "A.C." and buy most of Eagle Suns inventory. I didn't do a lot of climbing back then, mostly B.C. skiing and a few snow covered peaks. Hung out at the Rogue Brewery a lot before the big flood. Most of my time was spent either in school, mtn biking, or on the river and of course consuming as much as possible. It was college after all! Quote
