I’m Jared, a Colorado native. I create, shoot and edit. Certified endurance junkie. I swim, bike and run. I love to participate in running races, triathlons and cycling events. You can keep up to date with my 2016 race and event results here. Here are my up to date 2016 Race and Event Results: Pi…
Week Four of the Great Aerobic Ketogenic Experiment, the second and last week of a micro intensity period. This week started off kind of blah. For some reason I was just not feeling 100%. I wasn’t sick or tired, just not at 100. I went to the Rocky Moutain Tri Club Season Kickoff Party on Monday night. It’s…
1. Pick a sport or physical activity that you enjoy. 2. Dedicate your free time doing it. Okay, so it’s not that easy, but that’s how I got to where I am now. It did take plenty of time to find my passion for cycling. It took a good 25ish years, to be precise. But now that…
Week Three of the Great Aerobic Ketogenic Experiment, the first of a micro intensity period. Things definitely worked differently in this micro period. I missed running at MAF pace, but some good things came out of the intensity. A PR in a 5K and I was able to get some strength work back in. Overall though…
Wow, two weeks into the great aerobic ketogenic experiment! The entire process as been extremely informative. Other than sore fingers from the constant glucose monitoring, the testing is going well. Preliminary results are gonging the way of my hypothesis. I’m getting faster and becoming more ketogenic. There have been a few abnormal results in my…
It’s hard to imagine a 20 mile run feeling good, but this run went textbook. I can tell my body is adapting to the longer distances quite well. What surprised me the most on this run was the lack of any kind of pain. My pesky left foot didn’t bother me at all, no knee pain,…
“Just keep swimming” I tell myself or “1-2-3-breathe.” That’s when I’m alone, in the lane, listening to music, and bored staring at the bottom of the pool. Last weekend was different. Jared and I are taking a swim clinic to learn how we can improve our swimming. I found myself at the front of the pack…
I’ve been eating a low carb high fat (LCHF) diet for nearly 4 years now. I’ve used ketosis on and off durning this time. I’ve also been using the principals of Maximum Aerobic Function (MAF) for some years now as well. The two principals work hand and hand, but I’ve not seen the results I’ve been…
I was convinced my heart was going to rip its way through my chest and fall in front of my stationary bike in spin class, then run away with the legs it grew while it was hulking out inside of me. holyshitamIhavingaheartattack? The incredible stabbing and electrifying shocks that’d strike my chest as I breathed in…
As Jared and I pedaled toward Lookout Mountain, it felt like we were windsurfing – except we were on bikes, on gravel, with helmets, dodging cars. I wanted to stop and just go home. Throw up my “fuck it” arms and do something safe inside. Hop on the ol’ trainer and watch Netflix. No wind….
