Standing Tall

Wed, 08 May 2013 07:00:00 GMT

We all know that one of the keys to a faster performance, is a more efficient swim stroke, bike pedal or running stride. But how does an athlete improve this efficiency and can improving ones posture translate to increased athletic performance?

Continental GP 4000S review

Tue, 12 Feb 2013 08:00:00 GMT

I take the matter of purchasing tires as personal as my research and purchase of a saddle. Tires are the only aspect of the bike that comes in direct contact with the ground (hopefully) and this becomes alarmingly apparent when hitting 50mph down Palomar or when you are suddenly caught out in a downpour.

How do bike makers REALLY test their bikes? Part I

Tue, 15 Jan 2013 08:00:00 GMT

Most companies use Finite Element Analysis or FEA to analyze the stresses that a potential bike frame design will go through. One popular software suite Pro/Engineer now called Creo made by PTC allows engineers to observe areas on frames that correspond directly...

High Intensity Training

Wed, 26 Dec 2012 08:00:00 GMT

What if you could achieve the benefits of a 3 hour bike ride with just 30 minutes of training? What if you received the same endurance adaptations of an 18 mile run during a simple 20 minute session? No, I'm not talking about blood doping or 'roids. I'm referring to HIT.

Matuse - In The Dojo

Fri, 14 Dec 2012 22:00:00 GMT

The Dojo is lighter, warmer, faster and will last longer because of the water it doesn't absorb. Without question, it is also the best fitting/looking suit on the market.

Winter Training

Sun, 18 Nov 2012 08:00:00 GMT

Don't fight it! Winter is nature's way of making us take a break from routine riding, and that's good. Get back in the pool, join an adult soccer league, signup for yoga, get in the rock climbing gym etc

2012 Matuse DOJO wetsuit review

Thu, 12 Apr 2012 18:00:00 GMT

I have been a triathlete for 25 years and I have tried just about every brand wetsuit out on the market. I was amazed when I tried the Matuse DOJO

Crank Length

Sat, 06 Oct 2012 07:00:00 GMT

It is true that many top athletes are switching to shorter cranks for timed racing such as triathlon and TT. This is relatively new, because traditionally longer cranks were thought to be better since they give more leverage. However, crank length is just one lever in a drive train composed of a system of levers that transmit your foot’s force on the pedal to your tire’s thrust on the ground.

What's different: Skratch Labs?

Fri, 14 Sep 2012 07:00:00 GMT

Different things work for different people, when prompted I tell them that I'm a fan of real food and not big on gel or bars, but then again I'm not racing Ironman distance races so I'm not motivated to deperately grab calories anyway I can. This isn't to imply that the long distance triathlete is relegated to junk and can't eat better.

SMALL details that can make a BIG difference

Tue, 07 Aug 2012 19:00:00 GMT

Over the years, as an athlete and a coach, something that always surprises me still to this day is how little attention is paid to little things that can really improve your performance and make your training a lot easier.

Mavic's Aero Foray

Thu, 19 Jul 2012 07:00:00 GMT

This product is a legitimate and aggressive entry into aero wheel market. No one has any doubts that wide rims are here to stay; the benefits range from better tire/rim matting to better rolling resistance and handling characteristics.
