Winning an Ironman on 145mm Cranks

Winning an Ironman on 145mm Cranks. March 23, 2015. While this isn’t really a Powercranks promo, I should give an insight into my love/hate relationship with this training tool. I first started using Powercranks about 11 years ago, and after about 12 months of exclusive use, I raced them to second place at Ironman Canada 2006. In this period, I also developed a severe muscle function imbalance about my hip joint and this resulted in an injury that sidelined me for months. The good news was that Powercran...

Challenge Wanaka 2015
http://courtneyogden.com/challenge-wanaka-2015
March 23, 2015. What a beautiful race location. This was my fourth appearance at Wanaka. My first attempt was in 2011, coming off victory at IM WA and I was lucky enough to finish second behind Jamie Whyte. I returned the following year a bit underdone, but scraped in for a fourth place finish. I skipped 2013 and returned in 2014, but conditions weren’t favourable and I withdrew from the event after suffering from hypothermia in the swim. Patchy to say the least for this one – I was inconsistent wi...

Is Training the Upstroke A Valid Training Approach? March 27, 2015. Where’s the rationale for training the upstroke of the cycling action? Is there any scientific evidence to back it up? In Jeffrey P. Broker’s chapter 5 article on Cycling Biomechanics: Road and Mountain in the second edition of Edmund R. Burke’s book High-Tech Cycling he states on page 133:. Compared to recreational cyclists, elite cyclists generally have. Filed Under: Race reports. July 7, 2015 at 6:13 pm. Obvious that I disagree ;-).

Rest Up and Relax
http://courtneyogden.com/rest-up-and-relax
Rest Up and Relax. March 31, 2015. I woke up this morning as I usually do, feeling like a bus ran over me during the night. Typically though, the feeling of fatigue will dissipate over the course of an hour or so while I’m having breakfast and catching up with the morning news. Soon after I’ll be ready to think about getting out the door to do some training. Sunday morning was an open water swim with 2 minute maximal efforts and in the evening I ran a “Sutto Special” set of 400’s on the...I haven’t...

Endure Batavia Triathlon 2015
http://courtneyogden.com/endure-batavia-triathlon-2015
Endure Batavia Triathlon 2015. April 23, 2015. This was the third year in a row Raija and I have made the 4.5 hour drive north to the town of Geraldton for the Endure Batavia Olympic distance triathlon. The start list had a good mix of emerging U23 talent and consistent experienced performers and the scene was set for a ding dong battle of the generations. It was rather odd lining up against some lads young enough to be my children, and while I was happy to shake their hands and wish them luck on the sta...
