    The Best Training Partners  You Could Ask For

    I always did my cycling outdoors until October 2017 when I was hit by an SUV. At that point I bought a Wahoo Kickr to move indoors to ride on Zwift. In a three-story 2,400 square foot townhouse I used to share I couldn’t set my bike up anywhere without the other person I lived with complaining.

    Getting to the front of the pack: Masters Swimming Works

    Getting to the front of the pack: Masters Swimming Works
    Posted on

    After competing in Triathlon for almost six years I have come to realize that there are two distinct types of Triathletes, those who grew up as swimmers and those who did not. It is usually very easy to differentiate between the two groups. One group has a sense of confidence on the start line and in the case of a mass start they can usually be found at the front of the pack, the other lines up towards the back and might be overheard saying something along the lines of, “If I can just make it through the swim I’ll be fine”. As someone who falls into the second group I am here to tell you that this doesn’t have to be the case, you can learn be confident and even love the water.

    Fartlek, yes, we said it. It’s a funny word in the English language and it’s supposed to be fun. This Swedish term means “speed play” and is a form of interval or speed training. Fartlek is an effective way of improving your running speed and endurance involves changing your pace throughout the workout alternating between fast segments and slow jogs. By adding this to your workout once a week, you can start to focus on improving that burst of energy necessary for getting closer to the podium.

    Running outside is a great way to reconnect with the world and that fresh air is so … well, refreshing! If you do not have access to a track or don’t have a GPS watch to guide you through the workout, completing track and interval workouts intimidate some. That doesn’t mean you can’t work on your speed anyways. Good old-fashioned timed intervals are just as effective as a distance workout. Of course, having the feedback of time and distance provides a little more gratification for some.

    It’s almost embarrassing explaining to the urgent care doctors that I’m not actually injured from the race, but rather from a lack of self-care that let a small problem run away.
