Poking a head out of the cave

Posted by: stevecaddy on: Wednesday December 30, 2009

Neil and I hit the trails for an few hours this morning. Nothing special, and everything that is special about riding. Play time. Talking shit. Re-riding dabbed features. Racing around a tiny figure-8 pump track. Coffee. Here’re the numbers.
I was sick for a solid three days over Christmas (which was great, thanks to both families), [...]

Zero P.W.O.

Posted by: stevecaddy on: Tuesday December 22, 2009

I’ve been reading an interesting discussion about a piece of research into intra-cellular glycogen replenishment last night. It seems the conversion of fats to glycogen can be spurred by training on close-to-empty. Things start to get detailed around Post #9.

In theory

Posted by: stevecaddy on: Saturday December 19, 2009

In theory, there’s no difference between theory and practice; in practice, there is.
