Read more →A couple of my athletes have had trouble falling asleep or staying asleep. When this problem is present the night before the race or the night after the race, I don’t worry too much about it. It’s a common problem.

Read more →A rider finished the Austin Rattler a few weeks back and scored a spot at the prestigious Leadville 100 Mountain Bike Race. The rider asked what his time might be given a particular time at Austin. Good question. I sampled the 2013 Austin race and cross-referenced names to the Leadville 100 event. Below is the sample: Before I head into discussion, the disclaimer is I don't know any of the athletes in the list and I don't know what long list of variables affected each person's training or their races.

Q and A - How to manage altitude for the Leadville 100 Mountain Bike Race
Read more →Q. I read your advise in 2012 on the Yahoo forum to get to Leadville around Wednesday before the Leadville 100 Mountain Bike Race. I'm racing again this year and I have the opportunity to go to Colorado three weeks early. I currently live in Minnesota. I'm wondering if you can give me your thoughts. What is best? Should I stay at Copper Mountain for two weeks then move up to Leadville? Stay in Copper the whole time, etc. In 2012, I stayed in Keystone for 10 days and felt miserable the entire time. On race day I was seeing...

Read more →Q. In "Swim Workouts for Triathletes" Muscular Endurance (Distance) card #3, it says Race Pace + :30. Does this mean go 30 seconds faster than race pace? What confuses me is it also says “swim each 50 1-5 sec. Faster than race pace” -- T. S. A. Hi T.S., First, thanks for picking up a copy of Workouts in a Binder for Triathletes. Sorry for the confusion on ME Distance #3. What is intended on the card is that your swim interval for the 300s is your race pace, plus 30 seconds. For example, let's say you can average 1:30's...
