#CFE Max Dist Run – 90 min – home to MoPac 3 + by coachdavek at Garmin Connect – Details. I’ve used a Garmin (205 and 405) for the last few years. Sometimes I love it, other times it frustrates me (when quirks such as lock up or ventures into bizzaro satellite search mode during [...]

Just got back with my #1 faithful training partner Heidi, yellow lab and was reminded that there is such a thing as dog sense.  About 2.5 miles into a 7 mile run I went straight at  the trailhead of a famous local bike trail (MoPac) where we usually turn left or right.  She stopped and [...]

  Don’t let the cold, ice, snow stop you from getting outside.  The indoor work from swimming, spinning, rowing, lifting, metcon and treadmill are healthy cross training pursuits – sometimes you just got to get outside.  Was a perfect cold weather day for the dogs – Ace and Heidi and people – Becky, Laura, myself [...]

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 [...]

Beautiful in between snow rounds day.  6 inches of snow were on the ground. Weather was perfect for running – 22 degrees with no breeze.  Laced on some snow spikes and headed out with my dog friends Heidi and Cash for 3 miles.  We weaved through sidewalks, streets and some open field running.  Slow going [...]

MoPac trail was a little icy today.  Picked this souvenir up at mile 5.  Was a fun run with freaky fast friends Amber, Dave, Heidi(4 paws), Joel, Megan And PJ.  With a 20-40 MPH NW wind we used an age old and wise technique of leap frogging or driving one car 6 miles out, leaving [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
