Here is some cross training stuff that could apply to either the running or cycling thread. Pliometrics could be beneficial to both.<br /><br />I found this article while wasting some time surfing the net about cycling. <a href="http://www.bicycling.com/article/0,3253,s1-14813,00.html?category_id=36...

My back was feeling pretty good today so I did the Rugby test. I struggled with it and came close to hurling a few times (sorry, too much info :) ) but I did it in 11:18.9. This makes me realize that biking is good, but to row well you need to do the speed work on the erg. So, hopefully if the back ...

Yesterday I did the workout that John M. recommended, 3 sets of 8X2:00, rest interval 2:00 with 5 min. easy cycling between sets. It took two hours with a short warm up/ cool down. I liked it! I can see the advantage to this workout. It allows you to work the muscles at a relatively hard pace, but w...

Thanks for the history information Mike, interesting stuff! As mentioned earlier in this thread, there appear to be two camps on the issue of eating soy. Obviously, I like the stuff so I'm biased towards the pro side. I wish that the information was only one sided, then it would be easier to decide ...

Wow, that is a wealth of information, Thanks. I'm going to have to print that one and start digesting it (don't worry I'm not sliding back to the protein thread :D ) I'm amazed that your doing such long ultra events. I didn't even know that those kind of races took place. I thought that I'd be doing...
