I recently got some new shoes, the Nike Air Triax+. They're Awesome. So comfortable, so squishy, so supportive. I threw in my iPod+ pod and headed out for a run. It's the first run I've done in a while, and I was super excited to find that since I've been ...
Since I've been riding on the exercise bike, I've been doing 60 second intervals. Yesterday I did 10. The way the program on this bike works, there are 60-second intervals followed by 60-second rest periods. They alternate every 60 seconds right from the beginning, but increasing in difficulty before slowly ...

So, it'd been a while since I strapped on the sneakers and went for a run. I've been bad. Period. But not as bad as running is. I still can't stand it. My legs hurt today, but more of a slow, ache.
I know I'm just not used to asking that ...

So, things got pretty busy at work for a few weeks, and my running/workout partner moved, so I was low on motivation. However, all last week I was in Moab, Utah mountain biking, and now I'm ready to get back on the wagon and start going for my goal again. ...

So, today I began what could be the next chapter in HIIT training. I attempted to do it on an EFX machine at the gym. My results are mixed, but not due to a problem with the machine. To start with, it was the first time I've tried an EFX ...

Over the past month and a half since New Years, I've had spotty consistency with exercising. Some days I ran, but didn't lift. Some days I lifted, but didn't run. On average, I've worked out twice a week, very hard, but not much more. So, it's a little hard to ...
While it seems completely obvious in retrospect, I changed my running style slightly this week and had an immediate improvement in the amount of pain in my shins immediately after my run. For the past few weeks, I've been running uphill whenever I do HIIT interval training, partly because it ...

I got up at 5:45am, drove 20 minutes to my buddy's house, got out, knocked on the door, and was not greeted by anyone. He's babysitting his wife's sister's son, and so I figured they stayed the night at that house, so the boy could have his own crib. Drat! ...

So after a few weeks off, I finally returned to Interval Training. After lifting weights with my good friend yesterday morning, we both did four intervals of sprinting, but to make it interesting, we ran up the hill right outside his house. This was both excruciating AND much easier. I ...
