Proud to have served, and grateful I had the opportunity.

My mind wants to get back into triathlon training, but I have to remember that strength training is what enables me to do that.

The past 7 years of USPA lifting, 4 years ago my first marathon, and 3 years ago my first Ironman.

Leg day.

Strides, rest, then a quick run.

Working the fast twitch muscles.

It's almost Christmas. There's still time to get in shape before you throw your back out assembling a child's toy.

Thinking, I rather run. Maybe I should see a therapist.

Home gym workout. For those of you who remember my old setup, I’ve switched things up and replaced it with this new system. I need the space.

Triathlon season over. For the next two or three months more focus on strength and speed..

Pneumatically adjusting the squat weight on the fly.

Back to lifting heavy and short threshold runs. (Karma... I'll never make fun about someone's video skill)

Seeing one of America's greatest parks is the best active ways to recovery.

Richland Washington 70.3 IM.

Perfect weather to test and try bike and different clips.

Morning run.

Active recovery with a slow run later.

Training for endurance will not take away your strength. It may make balancing endurance and strength training more challenging, but you get out what you put in.
