My typical training regimen is to progressively build both volume and intensity to with in three weeks of my race [...]
I love traveling to Ironman races and watching. There is no other atmosphere like it. The energy is electric, that and 3000 fit bodies really motivates me to train. It’s like being at a fitness cult!
I recently traveled to Ironman Louisville to watch training partners and clients compete. I went [...]
I spent the Labor Day weekend holding a self-imposed training camp on myself and Nick Frank. The plan was to ride 100 miles a day and run off the bike at least once. We would ride a course that Nick and I have developed over the last year; we cheery picked all the [...]

Holy Sh?T I’m Tired!!!! LOL…well that is exactly where I want to be. I have had the most consistent training season ever. 10 out of my last 13 weeks I’ve been able to hold over 20 hours per week of training. I stepped on the gas pedal back in Dec. and stayed on [...]
