Training Talk – Mitochondria
After wandering around my brain a bit at the end of the year, I’m back on the coaching track with this one… I loved every physiology class I took, but I really loved the Exercise Physiology! Dr Seals and Dr Byrnes are the two that come to mind from my University days. Ex Phys and…

My Decade…
It occurred to me in the last couple of days that we are at the dawning of a new decade. Will it be a return to the “Roaring 20’s” of the last century or are we simply one step closer to our own demise? I recently wrote a bit about some of the changes in…

The Decade In Training

Training Talk: Threshold And You
Facebook and Zwift have been amok this year with the question “Does FTP mater anymore?” and opinion ensues about yes or no.

Ouch, A New Start…
I recollect my weight pitching forward, my arms desperately seeking a perch to stave off the coming catastrophe. Peripherally green foliage on the side of the road beckons – I have a particular dislike of road rash and thought I could soften the landing a bit. It’s the second time that preservation instinct has come…

From The Archive: Touring The Formosa
This was in Pez awhile back. I’m posting in honor of a friend who recently enjoyed Taiwan cycling for the first time… Touring the Formosa In the fall of 2015 I was in the final preparations for the Taiwan KOM Challenge. At the time I had not been to Taiwan and was terribly excited at…

Touring The French Alps
I went to France in July for two weeks of thrills in the Alps. It was a recon trip for future guided tours and a chance to ride some of those most historic of roads as well. Lots of Cols were ridden, espressos were drank, and delicious local food was eaten. Here are some highlights!…
