If you aren't doing some strength work then you are leaving some performance behind. The science is clear: strength training improves efficiency, force production, speed, fatigue resistance and reduces injury risk. I'm finally getting "back  in the gym" so to speak.

You are literally not the same athlete after training as you were before. A single training session sends signals to your heart, muscles and brain to change. Adapt or die!  So cool.

There are a few things I wish I knew about training equipment as a beginning and intermediate level triathlete. Today I share these with you, free of charge :)

Welcome to Season 5 of The Lonely Triathlete. I'm going back to Olympic Distance training. Join me as I discuss my failures and successes along the way.

Well, here we go, about to start the 5th season of The Lonely Triathlete. Follow along as I give you a glimpse into my training and racing life and hopefully make your own training sessions a little less lonely.

Something I doubled down on this past season was ensuring that I properly fueled each and every workout. I think it worked like magic.

I'm still between training seasons. So what have been doing? Eating and eating and not working out. What better time to get a Dexa scan! Guess what it revealed?

That quote is taken from the film Vanilla Sky and it reminds us that we have the capacity to change our behaviors with each passing moment. Will we? And if we do, how much more impactful could our lives become?

Is there something wrong with me? While I recognize that professional triathletes lay down some of the wildest, impressive performance...they don't inspire or motivate me. So I looked it, and there seem to be some good reasons for feeling this way. 

My season insights in a letter to my listeners.
