Do You Enjoy Being Injured?
When you’re injured, you’re miserable and when you’re miserable no one, including your family wants to be around you.
The good news however, is there are steps we can all take to help actively reduce our risk of running injuries. It is important to take an active approach in preventing injury then being reactive because once you’re injured there’s typically no magic overnight cures to whatever you’re suffering from.

Stretching - The Neglected Step Child
Flexibility, the ability to move your joints through their full range of motion, is one of the key elements of fitness, along with body composition, cardiovascular endurance and muscle strength. The way to maintain or improve flexibility is to stretch. Numerous studies have shown that the muscle elasticity and elongation of tendons/ligaments gained by stretching increases the range of motion of joints and may change performance.
Stretching has for many years been the most neglected of all the areas of training. Incorporating stretching into your training comes about by enhancing your knowledge of the most productive ways to stretch and how stretching can benefit you, particularly in ways that are not readily apparent.

Iron Dreams: First You Have To Sign Up!
For many people the hardest part about doing their first Ironman is signing up. Not because it cost nearly $600 and commits you to hours and hours of training. No, the hardest part is just getting an entry. Ironman races are so popular that entries sell out faster than a Justin Beiber concert!

IronDreams: Creating Your Time to Train
You’ve registered for your Ironman and you’ve committed to putting together a plan to get ready for it. But what comes first? Designing a training plan and then trying to find the time to follow it, or figuring out how much time you have available and then designing a training plan that fits your schedule? The problem with the first approach is that you might schedule more training than you have time to do. The problem with the second approach is that you might not find enough time in your existing schedule to train properly. So, you need to approach the problem from both ends--determine the necessary training needed to achieve your Ironman dreams and determine the true amount of time that you have available to train.

IronDreams: Training Focus
You’ve signed up to do an Ironman, you’ve carved out time to train and you’ve put a plan together to get in Ironman shape. Maybe you’ve even hired a coach to put some real structure into your training. But when you look at your plan you see strength workouts, aerobic workouts, long rides, intervals, tempo, recovery, LT workouts, threshold, RPE, etc., etc., etc. You’ve got more things to think about than you can shake a Power Bar at. How can you simplify all these workouts, terms, and training objectives and boil them down into as few a words as possible to focus on?
