The Great Aerobic Ketogenic Experiment, Week Six is in the books! This will be the final week I evaluate the experiment in such detail.

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…

This past weekend Jessica and I participated in the Elephant Rock, a century (100 mile) ride that started in Castle Rock, Colorado. We’ve spent months training for this event and wanted to make sure that we were able to recorded and collect data from the ride. Monitoring cycling data on a century ride isn’t an…
