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.

Aerobic Power athletes excel in Great White North 1/2 Ironman lead by Annett Kamenz who after working her way up the podium over the last couple of seasons captured the 1st Overall Title for 2010.

Success on the Jasper Skyline Trail Runs

Written by Kevin Masters Monday, July 26, 2010 08:17 PM

Coming off of a successful day one of the 45 km skyline trail, you always wonder how there could possibly be a successful day 2. But with some solid recovery practices and lots of good food, things can usually workout ok. We were psyched and ready for our second pass of the skyline, in 2 days.

Trans Rockies Run 2010

Written by Kevin Masters Friday, July 23, 2010 10:40 AM

I dont consider this a typical blog as i would rather write about our athletes then what i am doing, but over the next month I will try to provide some stories on the preperation and hopefully successful completion of the TransRockies Run 2010. In 2008 myself and a partner from Calgary, Mark Fewster, had a super week and finished 4th after the ~ 115 mile 6 day run race in Colorado. Everyone seemed to enjoy my attempt at a blog so I thought I would do the same this year, with my new partner Marc Meunier. We have not just started our training, things have gone quite well so far with success at the 5 peaks events, Canmore Challenge and Powderface 42, but I thought going into an epic weekend where Marc and I will be running the Jasper Skyline Trail (45km ) 2x it would be a good place to start the story telling. With the introduction of the Iphone we also hope to provide some video of some of our ups and downs.

Running Glory

Endorphine Daze athletes covered the majority of the IM run course on Friday, last day of camp and about the 18th to 20th hour of training for the week. Best success story goes to Erin. How many times have you wanted to pack it in, for some reason get talked into a few more minutes and then voila, somehow someone, maybe your coach got you to finish the whole darn thing. This is Erin's first year of triathlon, and her first IM, and while we are at it, her first camp. So by Friday she was getting a little tired. Erin ran into Ok Falls our 1/3 to 1/2 way point for runners. Her legs were cooked and she declared enough was finally enough. I told her climbing out of OK Falls is one of the worst parts of the IM Run so i said she had to do that and i would pick her up in the support truck at the top. As we got to the top i kept going until the road flattended out a little bit, my co pilot thought i was being a little mean, but i needed to let her feel the relief of the flats after the climb, WHY? Because when she reached us in the truck on the flat stretch, she asked surprisngly if that was the climb back there. Erin was starting to get a head of steam on the flats and possibly the worst is behind her??? So at the end of the day Erin finished the run to our predetermined finish line and therefore ran ~ 17 miles instead of 8.5. Congrats to the whole gang of Aerobic Power athletes and the Calgary contingent at the camp who were tons of fun and as tough as nails.

Campers Test their Legs for a Second Day in a Row

Written by Kevin Masters Friday, July 16, 2010 12:18 AM

Following a swim session, Endorphine Daze athletes set out on the bikes to take in a challenging but still one of the most beautiful Penticton rides. The first half of the 80 km ride included climbing green mountain road, then descending down the other side, before having to take on Yellow Lakes, the steepest climb of the Ironman Canada bike course, for the second time in two days. After Yellow Lakes, the only section of todays ride on the main highway, riders got back onto the some of the most beautiful and vehicleless roads around. Through training, testing and lectures riders are learnring a lot about "overreaching", the effects and appropriate use of training volumes and intensities and markers for warning signals of poor physical states that would affect training quality. I think this year campers are going to leave camp stronger and smarter about their training approaches.

Penticton Bike Course NO Match for Aerobic Power Athletes

Endorphin Daze team of Aerobic Power and TCR supported the camp's athletes through the full Iornman bike course today in 36 degree heat. It is the first year not a single person dropped out into the support wagon. Aerobic Power athlete's Erin, Terry, Chris, Dave and Brian all had spectacular days and will now be going into race day with another level of confidence.
