Road to the 2015 American Open: Week 5 and Week 6, Day 1, 2, and 3

Wow! I didn’t realize it would be so hard to post once I started up training in the evenings with the Front Range club. This is going to be a bigger post, so don’t go away too soon. My first week-and-a-half has been awesome! It was definitely a good decision because I’ve been hitting all[…]

Road to the 2015 American Open: Week 4, Days 3 & 4

I spoke with my new coach, Paul, on Thursday and he decided to start my program tomorrow, so I went off the cuff for the last two training days of week 4. My BioForce HRV was on the fritz so I missed one of the days. One thing Paul has already noticed is that my[…]

It’s been quite awhile since I last wrote any of my training sessions down. I apologize to any of you who were actually following. The last couple months my progress has slowed and I have been thinking about what needs to happen in order for me to start improving. I’ve decided to increase my training[…]
