I was first introduced to Norwegian Recycling a few years ago when someone gave me a song from this “group”. It’s not really a group, it’s one guy, Peter Bull, a young engineer in Norway who is a genius at mashups. Google “mashups” and you’ll find his name all...

A couple of days ago I wrote a blog post on why one should not ride the aero position on an indoor cycling bike. I discussed the principle of Specificity of Exercise. If you are a triathlete or race in Time Trials, yes you need to ride your aero position, but it should be your exact aero position on...

If you can measure it you can improve it. That’s a big part of Indoor Cycling 2.0 where we use measuring tools to help us improve physically.  When I saw that there was a device that can measure both the quality and quantity of sleep you get I had to know more about the Zeo Sleep Monitor. The...

We postponed last week’s teleseminar due to the SuperBowl….and scheduled it right smack in the middle of Valentines evening! But no more postponing. Depending on where you are in the world, put your romantic dinner (or breakfast) off a little bit or schedule it a little earlier. My husband...

I talked John into postponing our teleseminar tonight (hope you got the email about it!) Threshold is just too important a subject to have a very small number of attendees on the call. I’d rather have an interactive discussion with you all than just me talking. Please join us NEXT Sunday for the...
