It’s been a good, killer week so far for both CrossFit Workouts Of the Day (WODs) and the new eXtreme Fitness Around Nebraska. The picture is a trophy from the CrossFit Ryan workout.  My constant running and occasional swim/bike companion Heidi has the “gee, are you sure you know what you’re doing?” look on her [...]

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 [...]

Did you set some overly aggressive goals in fitness, your career, life for 2011? Wondering if you can accomplish that seemingly far away mountain top?  Is something holding you back? CoachDaveK is a resounding believer that fitness is a mind/body/spirit effort.  Watch and hopefully be inspired!

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 [...]

  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 [...]

Weekly stats Running – 22.1  miles Bike/spinning – 46.5  miles Swimming 3,600 yards  (2 miles) P90x – Week 7 workouts – core synergies I’ve been juggling the dual goal of P90x faithfulness and achieving 2k of total miles in running/biking/swimming.   This week seemed a perfect way to help nudge those miles up – right at [...]

It was  a good and unpredictable week, seemed every day required a [...]

Will begin Day 31 of P90x today, but am thinking about Day 29.  There are so many good blogs out there on it.  One of my favorites is from a real overachiever in the San Francisco Bay area – http://www.fitbomb.com.  Check it out.  It’s a nicely daily diary of his journey! Sunday, Day 29 was  [...]
