Grinding It Out

Another week down! I must admit that I’m about ready to start racing again because race weeks, and the races themselves, are a lot easier than what I’ve been doing as of late. Today underscored this fact. Three weeks of aggressive training have started to take their toll. Key workouts are starting to get a [...]

TDF Defaced

Pathetic. I guess that any time big money enters the professional athletics equation, all bets are off as far as sportsmanship and ethics are concerned.

That’s a Wrap!

What a week! Between an influx of new clients, a heavy workload, and 20+ hours of training, I don’t have much left in the tank. I’m glad that tomorrow is an “easy” day; a 6 mile jaunt in the a.m. + 1.5 mile ocean swim in the p.m. In between, I’ll make some time for [...]

My client load seems to be growing exponentially, thanks in large part to the success that everyone is experiencing and the fact that we do things a little differently [...]

Where Did All of the Tracks Go?!?!

Sometimes the hardest part of a workout is simply finding a place to execute it! Today was no exception… Trying to lay down an interval set in a pool full of kids and old ladies, well that’s one thing; They have a tendency to move out of your lane pretty quickly, especially when you have [...]

Pushing the Envelope

Well, I’m back at it again, training full tilt and pushing the envelope day in, day out. It’s been a hectic few weeks… My coaching business has really taken off over the course of the past couple of years, and since most of my athletes are currently smack dab in the middle of their competitive [...]

New Beginnings…

One of my up-and-coming athletes, Liam O’Connell, turned me onto Blogspot, so here I am!
