The time over distance, speed/strength over LSD (long slow distance) and intensity of effort over “logging miles” has sunk in deeply now. In looking at January I could feel a few different ways: Down because my running miles were low (67) and almost 1/2 of a year ago. Excited because I had over 300 aerobic [...]

Slate Magazine is on a roll. After digging deep into the beginning of the 20th century, Annie Lowery jumps into 2011 with a quick, somewhat superficial review in her January 20th “Work Out So Hard You Vomit, The rise of P90X, CrossFit, and the “extreme” exercise routine.” The article focused more on the [...]

52 weeks of CrossFit Workouts Of the Day and Triathlon Training. Add in the P90x round from October of 2009 to January 17 of 2010 and that’s a solid 65 week test of cross training. The detailed statistics are available in a year end capper. I also shared some candid results in the “Proof Positive [...]

Farewell 2010. Hello 2011! Challenges, opportunities, failure, success, valleys and mountaintops – I encountered a mix of those as well as everyone who reads this post (and like every year before). For the exercise side of my life, the opportunities and successes jump to the front of my mind. The change-up in exercise and nutrition [...]

Summary If you’re an aerobic athlete (runner, swimmer, cyclist, triathlete) who’s reached a plateau, has found more miles does not translate into success and wonders if strength training might help – please read. I’m not offering a quick fix, food gimmick, shake, or simple trick. Over the last year I’ve ventured into a different way [...]

September and October have proven to be a nice fusion of Triathlon (primarily running) and CrossFit, much like late Summer races into early Fall. Have been solo on the CrossFit WOD’s. Am missing my Lincoln CrossFit box greatly, but due to budget limitations, have to get the WOD’s done at home and the YMCA. I [...]

Flipped the monthly blog update title. I’ll explain more about that later. Three pictures help tell the story of the last five weeks better than words can. They are from the Thunder Run (Sherri, Joy and Amber – front, myself, Rob and Jason back), Pikes Peak Ascent (finish line!) and Mud Run (Joy, Andi and [...]
Hit 1,000 miles in 2010 today
Posted: August 11, 2010 by David Kohrell in Crossfit, Cycling, Marathons, P90x, Rowing, Running, Strength Training, Swimming, TriathlonsTags: Crossfit, goals, Triathlon
The first 1,000 miles have come in quite a bit differently from previous years. Running miles are 2/3 of normal, but cycling, swimming, hiking/walking and rowing are higher (or in the case of rowing a first). The benefits of the diversity are sinking in: alternating workouts to reduce stress, using workouts for the season [...]
