Triathlon Community Suffers a Great Loss

Written by Kevin Masters Sunday, February 07, 2010 10:06 PM

Laura MacKay was a committed athlete and team mate. She lived life to the fullest in her sport endeavors and her optismistic attitude and friendly demeanor is what APTS athletes will remember about her. These were the overwhelming thoughts of those from the Aerobic Power triathlon group who were fortunate enough to have known Laura or trained alongside her. Laura's team mates, and friends were deeply saddened by the news of her untimely passing after a serious bike crash on a slippery descent, while bike training in the Canary Islands last week with her husband and training partner Travis Eltom. We want to extend our deepest condolences to Travis and the MacKay family.

We'll miss Laura as a friend and a friendly competitor.

The family is planning a memorial service for next Sunday, setting a date when Eltom's police squad can attend on their day off.

Aerobic Power Caters to All Levels of Training Desires

Written by Kevin Masters Friday, October 09, 2009 04:43 AM

I find many athletes just aren't sure how to maximize their commmitment to training. Athletes maybe coming off a year that involved a big commitment to their training and do not want to commit to anything as large in the upcoming year. So they don't know where they fit in, with some of the training programs out there. Others maybe looking for a larger committment towards their racing goals for the upcoming season but want to make sure they are maximizing their return on their committment. Aerobic Power offers free cosultations to help you plan out your season and make the best choices for your training and racing goals in accordance to your daily committments.

Cool Your Jets

Written by Kevin Masters Thursday, January 28, 2010 01:40 PM

I have always been a student of Jack Daniels and Greg McMillan, two highly respected run coaches. In particular their high emphasis on tempo run training or threshold training, for intervals upwards of 15, maybe 20 minutes long. I loved it, and when looking at a triathletes schedule and limited to possibly 2 to 3 runs a week you got lots of bang for your buck. They were the toughest workouts I could do because of the duration of the interval and the pace, essentially one's 1 hour race pace. But while I was finding it tough to be mentally and physically ready for this level of workout on a regular basis i was also finding that everything i read in terms of training for runners, would always refer to tempo runs up to 60 minutes long. I would stress over this wondering how whimpy I was because there's no way I could do this 1 hour race pace for an hour on a weekly or bi weekly schedule. The other problem was, what do you do when you have built up to your broken interval hour at tempo pace but race season still wasn't here yet.
