The Distance of Truth
by Kevin Patrick of EndurancePlanet.com
You've probably heard the phrase uttered, "That was a lucky shot." Perhaps you've heard a boxing commentator say, "He got caught with a lucky punch." But you've probably never heard of a lucky Ironman victory or a lucky ultra marathon. Luck simply isn't a word that's used much in such events. While it is true that unlikely champions are occasionally crowned in endurance sports it's not by virtue of luck. . . . keep reading

Strength Training In-Season for the Competitive Multisport Athlete
by Coach Troy Jacobson
One common mistake that I have witnessed as a coach, especially among athletes newer to endurance sports training (1-3 yrs.) and who come from a strength sport or team sport background, is to overemphasize traditional method strength training in their overall program. By this I mean doing strength work in the gym as a primary form of training and not as a secondary, or supplementary, form of training. It's important to remember that you get to be a faster runner by running fast -- not by pounding out heavy sets of squats. Be careful not to 'burn the candle at both ends' and sacrifice your ability to properly recover from your sport specific training just in order to fit in that strength workout -- choose your battles wisely. Remember there's a distinct difference between 'training for fitness' and 'training for competition'. . . . keep reading

How healthy is your sports drink?
By Salvatore J. Tirrito M.D., F.A.C.C.
Remember the old adage: "treat your body well and it will treat you well." As an athlete, you should be even more concerned about what goes in your body. It never ceases to amaze me; many athletes will pound their bodies into the ground day after day, eat highly specialized diets, and abstain from many of the common pleasures of life, all in the hopes of achieving supreme fitness. However, if it comes in a pill, powder, or gel form, they do not discriminate and will put just about anything in their body. . . . keep reading

Recovery - An Investment in Your Long Term Performance
by Randy Stueve
When most of us got started in triathlon, we focused our efforts on the three main pillars of the sport -- swimming, biking, and running. We'd add volume and intensity over time, and we realized an improvement in our fitness level. It was a simple recipe for success: time + effort = improved fitness. Of course, we also jumped to the conclusion that if increase the volume and intensity of our training, we'd see even bigger gains in fitness and speed. Go harder and longer more often, that's gotta be the path to success. Common logic, right? . . . keep reading

Here's what our members are saying ...
I just completed IMFL for my 1st IM and wanted to send a note of thanks for your help via your IronFocus CD! The mantra of "Gut Check Time" kept ringing in my head as I ran that last 10k. All in all your CD was one of the primary reasons I was able to finish in the top 30% of both overall and my age group (M40-44). I figure that was pretty good for a "non-athlete" who ran (the whole thing, btw) his first marathon as the last leg of his first IM!! Again, thanks for the training tool...it made my first Iron-experience an absolute blast!!

IM Finisher
Hey Coach: I can attest the brutal conditions at IM Wisconsin. I would like to thank you for helping me make it through. Recalling all of the Spinerval sessions of "Mental Toughness" and "Tough Love", along with listening to your Ironfocus CD, I was able to muster up the correct mental attitude to finish the race, and feel good about the results. Thanks again!

Ironman Finisher
As a long-time runner and fitness enthusiast, but new to the world of cycling, I appreciated the attention and expertise provided at the recent Tucson Training Camp. Coach Troy was an incredible source of knowledge and motivation, giving newcomers to the sport as much attention as provided to the more experienced athletes. The camp was a fantastic learning and training experience, as well as being a great deal of fun. I came away with a renewed sense of training purpose and motivation, in addition to making a number of wonderful friendships. I look forward to attending again next year, and would encourage anyone interested in cycling or multi-sport to attend one of Coach Troy's camps!

I just want to say that I have been a home video exerciser for about 20 years. YIKES!! I have all the series from t.v. & others you find only on line. I would just like to say out of everthing out there, there is nothing like Spinervals! They all Rock. Coach Troy is the best motivator out there. He should really be proud of himself! I feel like a triathlete myself every time I complete a Spinervals workout. Keep up the fantastic workouts. Thanks.
