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 [...] Wrapping up today was the first push of volume (20 hours) of the year. See below for times: Figure: Left side of the graph is hours. Weekend I had to work so time to workout when significantly down… Keys I found it took me till Thursday to get use to the high mileage. When [...] Beauty weather here in London has made me a happy camper with my first volume push, also known as a training camp, of the year. It’s been sunny with highs of 15-16 degrees since Monday. Love it! Monday Group Power – Endurance exercise class held at the Y Swim – Long endurance Run – [...] It’s Friday. You know what that means? Milk challenge. I’m 60mins from my projected finish of the 20K time trial after doing 90 minutes (90!) of 90/80/70 percent efforts plus a V02 Max! All on a couple of eggs and juice. My legs are shattered. I have knots in three points that are [...] Lots of big changes happening. New house. New company. Old thesis. New weather (right?!). And of course new training. House I’ve got one foot inside the newest (conditionally) possession. Problem is that it never seems like it’s mine till the close date. New Company In the works is to begin a company that does [...] 5pm – I could be found in a Mac’s eating fist fulls of candy. Energy levels were lowest of the low. 4:34pm – Completed a 20K time trial on the bike at a dismal speed. I was spent. To rub salt in the wound, I went out way too hard an suffered for it. [...] Stretching or rolling? If you only have 5mins to get a quick stretch in or a short date with the roller, which is the better option? Although the roller won’t help elongate the muscles the same way stretching does, it’s my personal opinion that a quick roll will help your muscle relax better. [...] It seems in the 21st century that we are never satisfied where we are at. We tend to optimize the already perfect plan/invention/ etc. Hey, I’m a hypocrite when it comes to this topic; I love change! But what I’m discovering is that what you did last week CAN be repeated this week if [...] No, I am not getting soft in my old age (1, 2, and 3). I still go hard but I’ve learned that there are times to do it and others when it’s better to sit back and let the other people fight it out.
My first year of training was about going hard. I [...] So I’ve established the boundaries: Too much (Rule 2) and too little (Rule 1). What’s the middle of the Oreo look like?
