Want to push yourself? Get faster, stronger, both? Try a brick workout – that mixes short distance (200 run, 1,000 bike or 50 meter swim) in chunks of 5. Repeat 4-5 times, keep your recovery short and watch your swim/bike/run/row raced sore. Here’s an example from tonight with some cool friends (see pic below). This [...]

Great pic by a friend, Steve, that captures the snow flocked beauty of Pioneers Park at the Holiday Run on Dec 4…and the benefit of having a lab pull you through the snow! There’s “snow” reason for slowing down in Winter. =-]

It’s been awhile since I shared a post. Maybe that’s not such a bad thing. The culprit is being busy at work and play. So it’s been a summer of fun – I wish I could race every weekend. Not possible due to other events and budget (hence the busy with work). I did enjoy [...]

I live in Nebraska. You live where you live. Profound thinking going on here. 15 years ago we had a smattering of running road races, occasional swim events, cycling criterions and weight lifters did their thing. It was a quiet life in 1996. Plus Nebraskans were basking in the glow of back-to-back National championships [...]

The detailed statistics are available in a year end capper. I also shared some candid results in the “Proof Positive [...]
Joshua’s War Wound

Just slightly proud of my son Joshua’s war wound (OK turf burn from indoor football). He made the stop and had a great game with the Nebraska Football Academy and his friends.
Triathlete Magazine – CrossFit Endurance

This is one of my top 5 must reads for 2011. CrossFit / CrossFit Endurance is not for out-of-this-world athletes. It does help mid pack, grinders achieve results they never imagined possible in this world. Its training approaches are what some world class athletes have used. After being hit by a car in June of [...]

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 [...]
