World Records & Personal Bests
Although I've enjoyed having my life back this week, I've had a bit of Olympic withdrawal. I have to admit, I'm an Olympic junkie, and this year, I got my 4-year-old son hooked too. His favorites were Ledecky and Bolt. The kid knows how to pick a winner I guess. I like the Olympics for … Continue reading World Records & Personal Bests

I went for a nice bike ride at lunch today, starting off National Bike Month in style. The weather was a sun-drenched 65, and the smell of spring was palpable. One can only assume that the weather will hold and every day of May will be just like today...right? Whether it's rain, shine, snow or … Continue reading Bike Month!
Intro into HR Zones
In February, we published a couple of posts about training intensity and heart rate. I promised a more in-depth article about heart rate zones for those of you who were interested in learning more about how heart rate and heart rate zones can be used to aid in training and recovery.

Staying on the Trail
It's spring and it's awesome out there. As I'm writing this sun is streaming through my office window and I'm day-dreaming of all the roads and trails I'll be covering this spring and summer. If you're like me, and many other Montanans, your exercise routine changes with the seasons. That's one thing I really like … Continue reading Staying on the Trail
