Fit Bit o' the Month: Warm Winter Wonder Workout, by Doug Rennie, Portland Velo's health & fitness guru

Or: On, Done, and Off in 45 minutes. During the 12 years I wrote for Runner's World magazine, my Go-To Guy for any training feature was one of this country's premier exercise scientists. PhD. Head of the human performance lab at a major Big 10 university. Big name in the field, tons of street...

The Party’s Over

My approach is all backwards, but my standard M.O. is to party all ‘cross season and then suddenly dig my heels in and bring the whole overindulgence thing to a screeching halt. I tend to be all-in or all-out. It’s one or the other. People say, “Just have one beer.” and I think...

Coming Clean. Coming Around.

It’s August 21st. I’ll be 31 in two days. In general, I feel like about seventy million bucks. But this month has been hard for me. It’s "Christmas season" for my biggest client (read: long hours making marketing for people), it’s a big month for event for photography...

NEVER RIDE HARD ON TIRED LEGS. NEVER. EVER.

Rewind. Stop. Play. NEVER RIDE HARD ON TIRED LEGS. NEVER. EVER. This absolute core principle of intelligent training is repeated mantra-like by most of us. And all too often ignored. But do so at your peril, be you race teamer or serious fitness rider. Who says? Well, everyone. Including Scott Saifer...

No Really, Get Your Iron Checked.

I’ll admit it. I was mega-skeptical about this whole iron thing when it came up. It’s one of those things where one person tells you about something and then you start hearing it all over. The iron buzz!! Get your iron checked! Everyone is doing it! It all started...

Feeling Good Never Felt So Good

On Saturday I got back on the bike for real. I went out with a teammate to go long and slow. Long and steady. My training doesn’t usually call for LSD, so I was looking forward to ignoring the HR monitor and just riding. I wanted to learn a new route, so I called on the [...]

Training While Sick: What’s the Verdict?

My cousin asked me about this a little over a month ago when she was down with some really nasty cold/flu stuff. "Should I run?" I told her to stop and get better. Or, if she did want to get a few miles in just for sanity’s sake, to go someplace warm (a gym) and do them [.....

Fit Bit O' The Week - Base Miles BS

Slow Up to Slim Down? Sounds Good, But Don’t Believe It. “Hey, hey, hey. Take it easy out there.” That’s the secret. The panacea. The Magic Bullet. Pedal long, pedal gently and you’ll fry the fat faster. The alleged Big Bonus of Base Miles: Keep your intensity in the “fat-burning zone”, or FBZ——no more...

Fit Bit O' the Week - It's All In Your Mind, Part 2

This week's lesson, brothers and sisters, comes to us not from some crazed, foamy-mouthed bike coach, not from some pocket-protector-accoutred, clipboard-carrying exercise physiologist, not from some bulemic nutritionist. No, this week's wisdom's source is T. E. Lawrence. Yes, THAT Lawrence...
