Where does the lactic acid theory come from? The acid theory held sway from an early “frog’s-legs” experiment before the First World War. Voltage was applied [...]
This has been my life of late. Bouncing from one workout to the next. I’ve learned some really interesting things about my body and training long in general. One, my body hates to run at the end of the day. It’s not so much the mileage or the wear on my legs but [...] There are not many athletes who can honestly say that their performance is never affected by mental or psychological factors. Almost everyone who competes or attempts to do their best at some important aspect of life has experienced both mental boosts and hindrances. Doubts, confidence, anxiety, poise, courage and fears for example can [...] Junk Drawer It’s a Recovery Week between big volume builds and I’m sitting here relaxing, pondering and surfing. eDiscs from eLoad rock my socks. They taste like Sweet Tarts give you a boost when you need it AND are amusingly fizzy. My family is irreverent, caustic and some might even say “crazy” and [...] Good weekend in Odot.

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 [...] Less is more. Well I’m starting to be a believer. This year I’ve really taken the time to restructure and focus on my running economy. I do funny looking drills that hopefully, are going to pay off in the long run. By paying off I mean knocking minutes off my race time. My [...] Back at it and nothing special happened but thought I’d share a day-by-day account of my week. TUESDAY Run: 1:00/intervals This winter has been tough. More ice on the road than I remember in 10 years. Took my intervals onto the shoulder of Hwy#10. Back and forth. 5 x (3′ Zone 4, 2′ Zone [...] |
