Fly Away

Its less than a week away for me to visit Victoria for the Lifesport tri camp. I am in a bit of a predicament: Whats the best way to send my bike?

In the past I’ve boxed my bike up and was charged $50-100 depending on the airline.  Air Canada is $50.  Not a big [...]

Training Logs - Which do you prefer?

You might remember that one of my chosen blogs is Steve Stenzel’s “Steve in a Speedo?!“? Well he’s been doing a series called “Does it Work?” reviewing tools that triathletes use on a day-to-day basis. Yesterday’s entry was Steve’s review of four online training logs … Beginner Triathlete, Buckeye Outdoors, Daily Mile, and Training Peaks. [...]

2 Down, 14 Weeks To Go ’til 1st Ultra-Marathon

When Cliff first asked me if I wanted to do an ultra-marathon in December, I didn’t think twice (ok, well maybe not quite). That’s typically the way I am when an exciting challenge is put forth in front of me: agree first… then think about it later.

Be the Next Ironman Champion

So you want to win Kona? Well I’m going to tell you how.

Sit down eat some lunch and enjoy this swim video.  It is a fascinating to watch Phelps swim.  The guy swims like an Otter.

More Rest = More Benefits

In the recent issue of Journal of Sports Secience, a study was done on rest intervals for weight lifting.  Here is a snip of the abstract:

The purpose of the present study was to compare the influence of two and five-minute rest intervals on the number of repetitions per set, per exercise and total repetitions in [...]

Nowhere to hide

A few weeks ago, our triathlon club had the tremendous opportunity to take a Swim Power Test from Dr. Genadijus Sokolovas of Global Sport Technology. Dr Sokolovas is the Sport Science Director of USA Swimming Inc. as well as coach to some of the best of the best. (Heard of a guy called Michael Phelps? [...]

Better Drilling = Better Driller

Borrowed from: Chuckie Vs Blog.

Just as it is with stretching* I’m not an ardent advocate of drills. Now before anybody gets themselves in a tizzy, I must first assert that I am not talking about motorized drills like the kind they sell down at Home Depot, with batteries and bits and lengthy warning labels. Those [...]

a long distance training weekend.

notice the title. a training weekend. even though it was ottawas biggest running race weekend this was just training pour moi. which is kinda difficult to understand really. why enter a race, and not race? well, it’s cause (i think) you want to be in peak shape, or have planned to race, your “race.”  so, [...]
