<div dir=”ltr”>Today was the day I decided to start working on my running cadence. I’m not a fast runner, never have been but I do love it. Who knew after successfully completing 2 marathons I was doing it all wrong. 🙂 Looking back at my longer runs (15 miles+) my average heart rate was 140 to 148 with a cadence of 76. Today I ran 2 m…

Thank you all so much for the feedback. I’ve got more homework to do on a trainer but I’m much closer now with everyone’s help. I’m also scheduled for a bike fitting with Smiley on 3/2 so will wait until then to figure out which aero bars are right for me.

Hey Gang – I have a Specialized Tarmac and am in the market for aero bars, which I have no experience with. Anyone have any recommendations? I am also looking at investing in a smart trainer or just purchasing a basic trainer. Anyone have any thoughts on a good (reasonably priced) brand/model? Is a smart trainer worth it?

Appreciate the help

I too made a rookie mistake thinking that I had plenty of time to pull the trigger and register for Eagleman. I guess Ohio here I come.

I have been using the Garmin 935 for a year and absolutely love it. While it was a little pricey it’s easy to use and the Garmin Connect iOS app is really helpful/useful as well. When I train I use the Garmin and the rest of the day I wear an Apple Watch. Both easily connect to MyFitnessPal to log my exercise for the day. When I run and bike I d…[Read more]

Hi All,

I wanted to see if you’ll be getting together tomorrow for a group ride. I’ve been doing most of mine solo on the WO&D, thought I might switch things up. Let me know if you’re interested in expanding the group.

Thanks
