Race Report – the dog loop Freddy beach.

LMS Athletes Perform On The Weekend

Three athletes, three different locations all out playing on the weekend!  TJ Worden-Rogers was competeing in a bicycle stage race in Fredericton, NB.  In a telephone conversation after the race, he said his day went well; besides flatting in the road race.  Lots of good solid tempo riding which will help him out in [...]

Need Help Running Faster?

We know that adding resistance to movements makes you stronger and faster.

Adding resistance to some movements is obvious. To jump higher, for instance, you can squat with weight. To push harder, you can do presses or explosive push ups.

But how do you add resistance to activities where you’re moving through space instead [...]

Crossing-Over

No I don’t mean to the dark side.  I mean swimming.  On Monday our swim group did a 500m time trial.  While plowing through the water I was told that my right arm crosses the center line.  In fact on further inspection, I swim crooked.  My dang right lats are just too strong!

So I [...]

World Duathlon Championships, You Goin?

A couple years back this is all I could think about, Du Du Du Du.  Yes those crazy run, bike, runs.  Triathletes, you have no idea how easy you have it!

So after my last race at the World Long Course Championships in Richmond Virginia, where I crashed and DNFed, I thought that would [...]

Calm before the Storm…

It’s almost that time again…  Race season.  It comes and goes without much notice doesn’t it?  Has it been a year already?!

This weekend I’m throwing my legs into the 1st of 5 trail runs.  This will be my first ever “series” which I hope to complete (or win ).

Two weeks from now I’ll [...]

Believe in the System!

In order to tune up for my ½ marathon coming up in 2 weeks from today, ‘coach’ had me sign up for a 10km charity race on Saturday, May 9th called “Run for Kenya.” It was being put on by a school in Kanata, [...]

It’s always something!

I’ve spent the last two weeks pretty much doing nothing.  And whining. Lots of whining. Because the only thing worse than doing hard workouts day after day after day is not being ABLE to do hard workouts, day after day after day!

Sciatic Nerve

It started innocuously enough. A bit of a tender spot [...]

The trend toward lower-cost diets

Americans are consuming more refined carbohydrates, more added [...]
