At first glance, the results could seem disappointing. The exact same FTP results about 14 months apart. But this is not at all upsetting to me. In fact, progress can look exactly like this. After getting the bike in 2020,…
On Track
The first week of the new eating plan I created went awesome. I think it has been one of the best weeks to date. I don’t have to track every day, I am portioning out my meals properly, I don’t…
Refocus
As the weight on the bar has gone up, so have the numbers on the scale and stretch in my waistline. Last week, during Thanksgiving, I felt terrible. Toward the end of the week, I was at the gym and…
Mock Meet – Juggernaut AI

Leaderboarding
Last night I went with Lauren to the 7:00 p.m. – 7:45 p.m. CycelBar class. These 45-minute rides are intense. Well, at least they are for me. I personally think some of the Peloton 45-minute rides are easier. Perhaps that…
