This is my second winter with indoor bike training and I feel as if I have come a long way from last year. I mean, for starters, my FTP went from looking like my standard 5 KM in the first year of running (going out at full speed only to die a painful death midway… Read More…

Why I Have Been Measuring HRV

I have received a few questions so I thought I would put it in a post and share some of my biggest learnings from it. Heart rate variability (HRV) is a method for assessing the effects of stress on… Read More…
