Week Five of the Great Aerobic Ketogenic Experiment. This week felt good. The volume went up, my speed went up and I was able to get back into ketosis. I did something a little crazy and singed up for the Rage Triathlon at the Hoover Damn in just two weeks. Olympic distance too! It’s a little sooner…
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…
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….
I was riding bikes with the men two weekends ago and learned a lot about them and myself. I asked the women of the Pedal Women’s Cycling Club if any of them were interested in riding bikes up Deer Creek Canyon and at the same time, there was a Strava discussion with the Racing Team to…
I’m stats from last year’s events are essentially the same as Jared’s as we rode together, except for the Oktoberfest Triathlon.
