The Des Moines marathon on Oct 16 was an enjoyable and memorable day. I was able to run it with friends (who PR’d in their marathons and snagged some great 1/2 marathon times). It was also my second one that my ace marathon volunteer and son Joshua joined in. The time was OK – 4:10 [...]

12 weeks to my second Pikes Peak Double. Uh-Oh! A shade under of 40 miles of bliss in two-days to prepare for – Saturday Aug 20th is the Ascent and Sunday Aug 21st is the marathon. Two years ago I was in the midst of preparing for the first Double. I had a few Ascents [...]

His mentor is Brian McKenzie, founder of CrossFit Endurance. T.J. began a slow adoption process of CrossFit in 2011 to overcome an aerobic only induced knee injury. I’m eager to see his results [...]

I shared a catharsis in my post Tulsa Marathon recap a few weeks ago. Since then I’ve ramped up my CrossFit intensity at home and the Y, am saving some valuable coin to return to the CrossFit Lincoln box and have picked up some swim, row and bike miles! Fun way to end the year. [...]

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 [...]
