Zone training

At the moment I have slowed down slightly but long term according to what I have read I should pick…

Long distance snacks
What do you all eat on when you go on long distance rides? Today I had a 2 x gu, banana and a trail bar. However I found the sweetness was getting to me, I was a bit concerned about the 3rd gu I had as the stomach was starting to rebel. I was really looking for something salty but in easy to eat packaging. Looking for any…

New bike - thoughts
I am currently riding a 2009 Giant Tcr adv 1 with full ultegra and am contemplating getting a new bike. The dilema that I am currently having is, is it worth getting the 2015 version of the same bike or look at the 2105 Defy adv pro 1 with the disk brakes. The reading that I have been doing seems that the Tcr is going to…

Garmin vs Strava
Has anybody also noticed the difference in speed and calorie burn when uploading form garmin to strava. When. It comes to the calories not too bothered as I would rather have the lower count however the speed is something else, I would always want the faster of the two. I know they work on different algorithms, but is…

Iphone App disappearing act
Downloaded the new 5X5 app, all was good until the update,once the app updated it disappeared off my phone. I have restarted and done a soft reset with no luck. The update is sitting in the update log however when touching on it, it does nothing. Has this happened to anyone else?

New tube or patch?
Fighting with tyres and tubes this morning. Eventually got out on the road. However in the process on replacing a cut tyre, the incumbent tube had a leak. Replaced it with a second tube which had a seam leak. Third time was a charm. I had to buy a 'get out of jail' tube on the ride as I had no more in stock. I now have 2…

Garmin 610
Just took my new forerunner 610 out its first run. Ran the same route I normally run. I ran with a hrm and I have set my correct weight, however when completing the run and checking calorie expenditure it was a good few hundred calories lighter than what I normally record. So the question is, is it more accurate now due to…

Achilles tendinitis
I have this in my right ankle. For those that who have had it happen to them, what has been your recovery strategy and did you stop running for? I ran through a 1/2 marathon with it, which was probably not the best idea. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Why the F...!!! Things you seen at the gym
My morning rant. Why the F... Would a trainer put someone onto a smith machine to do dead lifts when there is a perfectly good Olympic bar just sitting there. Then to make matters worse she had her doing alternate grips and no the trainee was not lifting huge weights. At the most 30lbs.

5X5 Change up
I have been doing 5x5 for a while and have seen major improvements in core body strength, as in being able to do unassisted pull ups. However I have found it to be a monotonous set of exercises. So today I stuck to the core exercises but changed them up. For example instead of squats (190lbs), I did seated leg press…
