    My Spin Bike Workout Research, plus Tribute to Coach Sean

    Hi Suzy Thanks for posting, I enjoyed reading the articles at your blog. It is timely, too, as this morning when I woke up I said, "I'm mad at you Sean O'Malley." I haven't gone for a run since his death. Your articles inspired me to put aside my grief and anger, and re-engage. Have...

    Remembering Sean O'Malley

    Since Sandra posted the news on Monday I have been in shock and grieving. Monday, in Sean and Jim’s honor, I did a cycling workout to Press Play and sobbed my little eyes out.

    Need Advise from Cathlete's HELP!!

    Hi Sherry Your post asked for rotation ideas but was a little vague. Without more info, like what you’ve been doing and how you have been eating, my response is going to hit all the bases and focus on this - Thought we had been working out pretty hard and eating clean (Not hard enough or...

    Need a yoga suggestion

    Hi Jen I have two Standards, both red. I agree, fantastic dogs. They also make great running partners, they come with me for my long weekend run. I also was, just recently, diagnosed with low back scoliosis, which was the source of all my running issues. PT saved me.
