This month I decided to try out my own little experiment with my power meter. I’ve been reading about power being the best way to maximize your performance on the bike, but is it really all that it’s cracked up to be? I decided to find out. What I did was take a normal 40k TT series we have here in Tucson, and race the first one the way I (and most of us) would without power data, and the second using the tools available to me. I did watch heart rate, and tried to monitor perceived exertion as well. The course is very flat, just long of 40k, with temps in the 90s. The two were separated by 3 weeks. Both days had light and variable winds. Same bike setup both days. |

If you have done track workouts before, you are probably familiar with the old standbys of 12x400 or 6x800. While these workouts have a point, it is important to understand how to run the workouts effectively and how they should fit into your training plan. Intervals are not just going out to the track and running as fast as you can until lactic acid overcomes your body and you are a heap on the ground. This is a mistake frequently made by runners and triathletes which leads to poor race day performance, frustration and possible injury. There are different types of intervals that need to be carefully placed into your training schedule. Each type is a piece of the puzzle that when completed will hopefully pay off in personal records. |

What do I do with the Pain? This is a question asked by every athlete at some point. Truly, pain is part of the game. In 20 years of practice, I have not met an athlete who has not had pain. It’s a great topic because pain is the thing that motivates many to succeed and also creates barriers to success. |
