I constantly remind myself that resting takes confidence. Anyone can train like a mad man but to embrace rest and to allow all the hard training to come out takes mental strength.

This is an awesome site that CycleOps has to help figure out your power output performance. This is helpful for those that don’t have a power monitor hooked up on your bike – one day right!

By the way, check out DC Rainmaker’s review of the Garmin Vector pedal based power meter which should be available sometime early 2012 (March). This is definitely going on the wishlist.

Here is the Spinning class I taught this morning. The objective was to stay within the base building aerobic zones 2 and 3. My buddy Mike and I are taking the class through an 8-week base building program, this was the second week.

I love to go running. It’s a way for me to stay centered, to lose the stress of the world around me, and to just be present. I recommend it to everyone, especially if you’re looking for a way to find peace and focus in your life.

Joe Friel – Blog for the serious endurance athlete

I have read some of Joe’s book, but recently found his blog site which has some fantastic and informative posts related to endurance sports and training. I highly recommend his blog to any runner, cyclist or triathlete who is looking to enhance his or her endurance.
