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…

Padded shorts and chamois cream Before I became really serious about cycling, I wore regular gym clothes on my bike rides. As the miles grew longer, the chafing grew stronger. My friend suggested — no,…
This past weekend Jared and I rode on our own. He rode the Santa Fe Century (tried to convince me to do it, but I was saving myself for the Elephant Rock) and I was riding solo. Naturally, I’m fine doing things alone and riding my bike felt no different. I figured I’d be fine….
