One of my latest ambitions is tackling a 50K trail race on about 10 weeks of training. Most people’s first thought is, are you nuts? The second is, how do you train for this? My longest run has been 42kms which included some street and some trails. I’ve done a 35km tempo run, yes [...] Read it here too… One thing that I truly admire about kids, is they put up with just about anything you throw at them. In terms of exercise, they will do crazy feats like wind sprints till they puke (suicides ring a bell?). At a young age, it’s about proving to you, their friends, and themselves [...] When I first started training, I had no idea how far I could go. I had no clue how fast I could run or bike or even swim! Then I got a watch. Then I got a heart rate monitor. Then I got a GPS. Then I got a…. Now, speed is very well [...]
People can fall into many different categories. I have summarized my thoughts on a few: Pole counters – Not much going on in the head. Reliable for work but don’t ask for any creativity. Dreamers – Everything is achievable. Every thought is BIG. Unfortunately not much gets done. Medium – A little [...] Juggling life, work, new house, grad project, and training has taken its toll.

My power on the bike has increased substantially, my running is holding [...] A super sprint for some reason, has got a bad name. It’s too short. It’s too easy. It’s not a challenge. It’s only only for beginners. I challenge that. Where can you do three different sports, in less than 30 minutes outside of an obstacle course setting? Super sprint tris are a blast [...] Quantifying a workout even when you have all the gadgets is still hard to evaluate. How does one compare an easy long ride to a short hard time trial? Enter the point system combined with a lactate test. A lactate test will give you the specified zones you need to work in. Zone 1 = [...] I was doing my nightly website blogging and came across Joe Friels: Overtraining article. Much to my displeasure, he never came up with a clear answer. Honestly I’ve come up with a small list of things that happen that typically lead down the road to being overtrained. 1 – Canker sores. Yes, breakdown of your mouth [...] Anyone going to Magog, for the Triathlon National Long Course? If so, please email me! Magog Triathlon - Sketch music. Not liking that there is no wetsuits! Found this great article in an effort to increase my repertoire of drills.
