Test Set Consistency

(Another Strava piece) I planned ahead in ways aside from my Tuesday morning workout – as in, I knew things were probably going to be running behind no matter what I did, so that made it a prime day for a test set workout. It was time for me to do one anyway – perfect! The assignment:Continue reading “Test Set Consistency”

You can’t make up for a crappy eating day

This post is taken from my post-workout Strava post this morning – my Strava posts have been blog-post-worthy as of late, so I thought I would share, as I feel maybe some of the little tidbits could prove lesson-learning for more individuals than just myself… It never fails – if you have a day where youContinue reading “You can’t make up for a crappy eating day”

The ’67 Camaro

It’s that time of year. The time of year when daylight lessens and temperatures are dropping, and wait a minute. That’s not what I’m talking about here. I’m talking about running. More specifically – I’m talking about time on the treadmill. Getting the wheels moving, greasing them, priming them, and getting them fully prepared forContinue reading “The ’67 Camaro”

BlissFALL

‘Tis the changing of the seasons, when the feted summer equinox transitions into the beloved autumnal equinox, there begins a diminution of daylight and temperatures, the air becomes crisp and fresh, and seasonal flora abounds in its’ last flourish of color. Yes, it is that blissful time of year known as fall. Great for running, for hiking, forContinue reading “BlissFALL”

The Glute March

I have found myself prescribing this exercise to many people as of late, as I have become quite a fan of it. It is great for strengthening the posterior side of the body (glutes, hamstrings, low back), while simultaneously stretching out the front of the body, predominantly the muscles of hip flexion (iliacus and psoasContinue reading “The Glute March”

Yes, I eat. All the time. And that includes cookies.

I know, I’m pretty irregular here. But hey, I work, and my effort goes there – to the people I train. I’m not a flashy sales person, so if you’re looking for a coach that’s flashy and spends a lot of time being flashy – you had better look elsewhere. Otherwise, if you want no-nonsense andContinue reading “Yes, I eat. All the time. And that includes cookies.”

Food for Thought

“With a seated society comes a toxic mind: because our bodies are still, our minds are racing. So, move your body – and still your mind.” How much do you really accomplish with a racing mind? How good do you really feel constantly sitting? Yes, I know, sometimes sitting is warranted. Let’s get past thatContinue reading “Food for Thought”

Take a breath…but when? Where? How?

I get asked a lot of questions about swimming: questions about kicking, about pulling, and about…breathing. A client happened to ask one of these questions about breathing the other day, and I thought it would be fitting to share with everyone else my take on the question… The question in this case revolved around bothContinue reading “Take a breath…but when? Where? How?”
