I am trying to coordinate a private workshop for HRM (hosted by StressThenRest) and looking for more people. According to Eric, I need a minimum of 5 attendees for a private workshop. I have tried HRM three times (speed training sessions and 25k) and have been very impressed by the experience and results. I cannot wait to get my own. If anyone is interested, could you please let me know? Thank you!

Full Version: Anyone interested in HRM private workshop?
I would be interested in participating in this workshop. Let me know if you can round up 3 more people.
I would likely be interested-- but would like more info re: schedule and cost before I can commit.

Thank you for your interest!
I believe the cost per person is $100 ($500 for the 5 attendees and $100 per additional attendee). The workshop is borken into two parts (Please refer to the website for more details); 4 hour each session. The workshop does not include AT test, but I'm sure it will be covered during the workshop. I am thinking about getting AT test done soon. For those who are interested in AT test, you can talk to our yellow coach JR and schedule an appointment.
According to Eric, we will schedule the first 4 hour session of the workshop. We can then go a head and get our own HRM. He'd like us have a chance to use it before the 2nd session (usually in a couple of weeks) so that we can ask specific questions during the 2nd session. As for schedule, I have not checked with Eric for his availability in July and August, but I believe he is available to host the workshop in the evening during the week or weekend (again, depending on his availability). We'll then have to figure out what date/time works best for all of us. I'm pretty flexible, but if possible, I prefer Monday/Wednesday/Friday evening or weekends.
If you have any specific questions, please let Eric or myself know. Please feel free to email me at aiokada94@gmail.com. Thank you very much! Look forward to taking the workshop together!!

I am interested.
How many participants do you have so far? Any dates on the books?

I have received emails from two participants showing definite interest so far (Thank you very much!!). If anyone is interested (& would like to commit), could you please send me email (aiokada94@gmail.com) so that we can discuss more details? I'd greatly appreciate it!
In order to actually schedule the date with Eric, I'd like to make sure each attendee completes an "Attendee Private Workshop Registration Form" (so we know each of us is fully committed
) . The form is to include a check payable to HeartFit for the amount of $100. Here is the link to the form:
http://www.stressthenrest.com/Presentation...istration01.pdf
Each of us can mail it separately to the address indicated on the form, hand it to instructors at StressThenRest (Eric, I believe that's okay?) on Saturday or Tuesday, or give it to me.
Again, if you have any questions, please let me know. Thanks.

I just wanted to say to anyone who is still thinking about taking Eric work shop. I would highly recommend you do it. I was with Portlandfit for 3 season and I never wanted any thing to do with a marathon because I did not feel I was ever going to be ready. Last season I took the class and after a few weeks my running improved, I was no longer taking GU on my long runs, when I got home after a long run I was still able to get things done and no more naps. I ran my first Marathon last Oct and my second this past June. I enjoy my runs more than I have in the past 15 year........

I just purchased aPolar Monitor 625 X and I think I need help just setting the time, so I guess a workshop is in my future..

Holy %$#@!!& Moly, Dave. I just bought the same model and am in the same boat. JR tells me that people working at Intel return Polar HRM's for lack of understanding the manuals...I don't know if he was just making that up in order to assure me that I'm not a complete moron or not, but I'm going with that story. I'm looking for a voodoo doctor to make the magic wireless connection from computer to watch come to life, and if not that, to put some sort of hex on the monster that created this. I'll let you know what I come up with.

I usually go over to Vancouver on Sunday morning..Please let me know what you find out...
I think the manuals are all writtne by technonerds instead of English majors...
Also, I am still looking for folks who live out by Lake Oswego or Work on Portlands EAST SIDE for running partners.

Anyone that needs help with their downloadable Polar heart rate monitor S-Series (S610, S625, S720 or S725), please send me an email or see me at PDXFit/VancouverFit functions. I am happy to help you learn how to maximize your performance with the heart rate monitor!
I will not be at PDXFit on 7/22/06.
I will be at VancFit on 7/23/06 and at Duniway Park Speed Training on 7/25/06.

Hello,
Hope you enjoyed the 13 mile run yesterday and are recovering well. I have received emails from five people so far (plus one from my work) and would like to start working on the date. I just sent email to those who emailed me (Thank you so much!!). Please let me know if, for some reason, you did not receive my email or anybody else is interested. I can re-send/send it to you.
Again, this is a great opportunity to learn about HRM, hot to pick one for yourself, how to incorporate HRM into our training, and much more! I have been working with Eric and JR for the last couple of weeks during the speed training on Tuesday and I am already feeling the difference. I never ran longer than 3 miles in my life prior to joining P-fit & was not involved in any sports activity. To be honest, the first 3 mile on our first day for clolor group assessment was the hardest (I took it easy, but still difficult.
I was that out of shape!)
Look forward to the HRM workshop and continuous improvement!!! Thank you P-fit; coaches, ACs, Clearwater, volunteers, and you members!!

I heard that a few people that were going to attend the workshop with Ai were not able to make the date. I just wanted to let you guys know that I am having some friends over at the end of August for a workshop and would welcome anyone that couldn't make this one.
More details to follow! Please email me at sharon.reeb@gmail.com if you are interested. I'm going to shoot for the week of 8/21.

Hi Yoomi,
I think Ai's workshop already took place but I am hosting one at the end of August/first of September. Send me an email at sharon.reeb@gmail.com to be added to the information distribution list!

I took Eric’s HRM workshop almost a month ago with our fellow members (Big thanks to everyone! We had 9 attendees!) and just wanted to share my own experience with HRM and its workshop as I am too shy to present during the seminar ! I have taken HRM workshop (Thank you AC Eric Lewis!), got my AT tested (Thank you Coach JR!), and purchased my own HRM & Foot pod about a month ago. I have to admit that was one of my best investments in my life.
This is my first year of running and I did not think I would be able to run longer than 4 miles at the beginning of my training with Portland Fit. I joined Portland Fit to train for HTC, which went very well except I got really bad altitude sickness. Until I talked to AC Eric Lewis and borrowed one of his HRM, I had no clue about my pace, intensity, etc. (I’m still learning). I simply thought the harder the training, the better it is. But, I was WRONG.
Sometimes, it is hard to tell if I have improved or not due to other variables, such as lack of sleep, stress at work, temperature, but I learned it is important not to get discouraged even if we do not see immediate improvement. One thing I have learned from AC Eric Lewis is how to be patient among all other great information on HR and HRM and I totally agree with him. I keep telling myself that this is my first marathon and I would be just happy if I can cross the finish line without any injury & hitting the walls.
As our fellow members already discussed, here are a few things that I have noticed myself:
• Increased pace while maintaining the same HR (Finally! Also, my 21 mile benchmark was painless.)
• No injury (When I attempted to play any kind of sports, I always got myself injured at the beginning and could not participate for the rest of the season)
• No more nap on weekend after the long-run (I can still go out with friends and have fun afterwards!)
• No more Gu/Hammer gel during the long-run (I have a box full of Gu I purchased at PRC. I guess I can consume them during the race over 5 years?)
• Loosing some fat (Although my weights remained relatively the same due to weight training (hopefully?), all my friends told me I lost some weights.)
• How I feel does not necessarily correlate to HR (Again, there are so many other variables in daily life! HR is the objective way to know about your body. It is interesting to collect and analyze my data).
• More motivated about running because of my new HRM (I cannot run without it)!
This is just my personal experience and I am not at a level where I can give good advice to other runners as I am a newbie, but I can at least say it is never too late to do anything good for the body. I would highly recommend anyone wondering about HRM, talk to Eric, try it out and attend speed work on Tuesday at Duniway Park (2 more sessions?) I spent over $500 for HRM workshop, HRM, and AT test, but in a long-term, it’s worth it. As I was able to cut down shopping and drinking time and traded for training runs, the money invested for my running did not seem as expensive as I thought…… I hope to continue my training after Portland marathon (I would like to join “Stay Fit”!) and maybe I can join yellow group next year!
Thank you very much to Portland Fit, all coaches, ACs, volunteers, and members (special thanks to AC Eric Lewis!) I could not be where I am today at without them.
