Dear Mark: Cycling Harder Than Running, High-Fat Football Training, and Orange Theory

Image
For today’s edition of Dear Mark , I’m answering three questions about training. First, why might cycling feel harder than running at the same HR, and what should be done about it? Second, is it safe or smart for a footballer to try to become a fat-burning beast when he’s currently in-season? And finally, what do I think about the relatively new Orange Theory gyms? Are they good, bad, or both? Let’s go: Hi Mark, I was wondering if you could answer this (or maybe answer in a blog post). I got a copy of primal endurance a couple of months ago and love it, great book. I’ve been running using Dr Maffetone 180 formula for a fair while (with good results whilst running), I also use the formula whilst hiking on trails and using gym equipment like the eliptical trainer. However I used to do a lot of cycling years ago and recently bought a bike as a different form of training for days when I don’t want to run/hike or use the gym. However when I use the 180 for cycling it feels A LOT more

The Truth About Baby Carrots

Tiny smooth carrots – which are perfect for snacking and dipping – don’t actually grow that way. Find out how they’re made, and why it’s OK to munch on them. The History Baby carrots were invented by a California carrot farmer, Mike Yurosek. In the early 1980s, Yurosek found that many of his carrots were not saleable because they were “ugly” — they weren’t the size or shape that could be sold at the grocery store. Instead of tossing these “ugly” carrots, he used an industrial bean cutter to shape them into what are now called “baby carrots.” The success of baby carrots was overwhelming. By 1987, carrot consumption had increased by 30 percent. Today, baby carrots consist of 70 percent of total carrot sales.

I don’t know about you moms, but 3pm is a low time in the day for me. I have zero energy! So the though of going strawberry picking at 3pm has crossed my mind day after day, but we just haven’t made the drive out yet. 5pm was the perfect time to go! We went to Chiles when they were having an event, and the weather was perfect: cool and overcast. We had a blast with our friends! We picked up dinner from Whole Foods during our weekly grocery shopping trip earlier in the day: salad bar for me and pizza for M. Plus some wine they were sampling along with Bold Rock Cider. Loved listening to the live music! M built this epic road with the blocks, although he corrected me later and said that it was a balance beam! And I bought three pairs of these great wooden sunnies! Saturday morning we had a light breakfast before heading to the gym for Bradley’s athletic conditioning class at 9. It was a super class with a great mix of cardio and weights and fantastic mashups!!
