ALCOHOL HAS NO HEALTH BENEFITS By Gabe Mirkin, M.D. A study from New Zealand shows that 30 percent of alcohol–related deaths are from cancer, and 60 percent of those deaths are from breast cancer. One third of these deaths were associated with an average of fewer than two drinks a day (Drug Alcohol Rev, June […]

Seemed to have done well. I was getting some dropouts on my computer during the ride and missed much of the warmup. We did the latter in a heavy downpour. The race itself was just hot and amazingly humid. Power looks like 366 avg so I’m happy with that. I know that last year at

I had fun with these. Used the Ault Park course going clockwise and starting at the bottom of the circle on each. Average for the first set was 611 and for the second 609. The details on power, set 1: 584, 602, 618, 610, 614, 596, 606, 626, 619, 632. Set 2: 602, 602, 607,

I rode a 22:35, 27.4, 370 watts, 85 rpms with splits of 374 and 361 for each half. Certainly a decent time but I just feel like I could go faster. Seems like I’m not getting those sustained 29-30mph periods on the last 3 miles like I did in the past. Maybe its the super

I rode 1:55:00, 38 miles, 248 watts avg along the Little Miami Bike Trail. Felt good to just do a couple of hours. And I slept in until 8. Thats late for me. Will just do some recovery miles inside tomorrow. I have a big day, or evening, tomorrow as I’m hosting Jackson Browne here

Did these today instead of tomorrow and did three instead of two. Oops. I’ll ride tomorrow at endurance pace and take Sunday off. Todays under/over: 333/463, 338/450, 331/469.

MUSCLE LOSS FROM INACTIVITY: 34 PERCENT IN JUST TWO WEEKS By Gabe Mirkin, M.D. A study from the University of Copenhagen shows that wearing an immobilizing knee brace for just two weeks caused men in their 20s to lose 22 to 34 percent of their leg muscle strength, while men in their 60s lost 20

While this was a pretty average time at 22:46, 27.2 mph, power was strong at 365 with cadence at 86 and a pretty even power average for the first and last halves of the course. Oddly enough speed was better on the first half at well over 27.4 and then fell off the second half

A little hot out there….93 degrees, heat index well over 100. However, felt good on these with 359, 359 and 350. Just shows that in this weather a long warmup isn’t needed. Went at these after about 8 minutes on the bike. I’ll be sure to not warm up too much tomorrow afternoon when its
