Growing up in Colorado you can't help but love the outdoors. Something magical happens with 300 days of sunshine and the Rocky Mountains in your back yard. My athletic endeavors started on the bike, I would get out and ride whenever I could. In 2011 I moved to Oxford, England for work. I missed the sunshine and mountains, but discovered my passion for running. When I moved back to Colorado I started combining cycling and running, so it was only natural that I started competing in triathlons. I took second place at my first sprint, and caught the bug. Today I'm training for my fourth Ironman.
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,…
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…
It’s done, 18 miles under my belt. Fuck, that was not easy. But I’m glad I finally made it that distance. The build up to this run had me very nervous. My left foot had been bothering me and I wasn’t sure how it was going to hold up on this run. It had been…
After my 16 mile long run a couple weeks ago, I had severe foot pain. It was on the top of my foot, near the ankle. I wasn’t sure what to make of it, but my initial though was a stress fracture. With a few days of rest, the pain subsided dramatically and I ruled…

So I made it to 16 miles! I’m not going to lie, it hurt like a motherfucker! I was actually a really good up until I hit about 12 miles, then my body started falling apart. The last two miles were no fun, and I had feared I created a stress fracture in my foot….

I had the bright idea to run a marathon this year. I wanted to see if I could do it, and I knew I’d need to reach that distance if I wanted to do an Ironman one day. Last year when I was trying for a half marathon, the distance seemed like a challenge. Comprehending…
What had started as an obsession with cycling has transformed into an obsession with triathlon. And while I’ve been running along time, it’s time to step up my game and increase not only distance, but speed. As a techno junkie, when I first heard about the Stryd power meter there was not question, I knew…
