ALFIE!: Part 4
Today I’m going to talk about some other stuff that has happened with ALFIE! including me doing my workouts around him along with our Christmas road-trip/adventure. Don’t worry, I’ll be babbling about training and fat loss come next week so anybody who’s getting all twisted can certainly wait a few more days.
ALFIE!: Part 3
Two weeks ago I did an update on Loretta in Loretta Update: Loretta Has a Foster Home; continuing in that vein, I’m going to spend the next two updates talking about dogs and do an ALFIE! update; mainly while I try to find a paper worth doing a research review on. Of course, there will be plenty of pictures and even a couple of videos. Because, let’s face it, that’s what this is about: pictures of my awesome dog. A lot of them are from the old apartment, but some are from the new house as well.
Glenn Pendlay Olympic Technique DVD – Product Review
Glenn Pendlay is a name that should be familiar to most on the Internet. He was originally associated, so far as I can tell, with Mark Rippetoe and Lon Kilgore in Wichita Springs, Texas. Now Glenn is located in California and training Ol’ers at his California Strength Gym. Recently he did a seminar where he did both a technique and programming seminar (the programming DVD is coming later or so I’m told).
Methods of Endurance Training: Winter 2010/2011 Part 4
In brief, I had set things up so that my key slideboard workouts (which are of primary importance) were either done after a complete day off (Monday/Thursday) or an easy day (Saturday). Running was placed after weights since it’s before the soreness kicks in, cycling was done at home and the EFX was done when I was out and about. The other details of why things went where are in Part 1 and you should go read that if you missed it.
Methods of Endurance Training: Winter 2010/2011 Part 3
The basic summary was that I’d spend at least December through February as my base training with a combination of slideboard, running, cycling, the EFX and two weight workouts per week. The whys and wherefores for this is laid out in Methods of Endurance Training Winter 2010/2011 Part 2 so read it first if you haven’t already. Now I want to start showing you how I put everything together which will give you a bit of a primer on how to set up training programs in more detail.
Loretta Update: Loretta Has a Foster Home
So I was sent this via email and a special Austin Humane Society Newsletter that Loretta is currently out of the shelter and staying in a foster home. Once again, the donations that my readers gave contributed to this and the following appears on the Austin Humane Shelter’s webpage about Loretta:
Methods of Endurance Training: Winter 2010/2011 Part 2
In Methods of Endurance Training: Winter 2010 Part 1, I talked about how I had moved into transition after getting my head out of my ass enough to do the Houston race and the thought process I had put into deciding what I wanted to do during my winter training. While it may have seemed primarily like self-important prattling, if you paid attention you might have gotten some ideas of how to think through setting up your own training programs.
Methods of Endurance Training: Winter 2010/2011 Part 1
Today I’m going to move back into self-indulgent prattling mode and talk about how I went about setting up my own winter training for the 2011 speed skating season. Make no mistake, it’s not just self-indulgent prattle. If you pay attention, you may pick up some ideas on how to go about setting up your own training as I lay out the thought process into how I laid out mine. Or you may not.
