  • Turtlehead Peak Trail Run and Analysis (Red Rock Canyon Conservation Area)

    Just outside of Las Vegas is the Red Rock Canyon Conservation Area. Last year about this same time I ran partway up Turtlehead Peak from the Calico Tanks trail at the Sandstone Quarry parking lot, but ran out of time and got lost a time or two too many. This time there are new trail…

  • Beta Testing a 12-3-30 Incline Treadmill Workout

    I had the opportunity to test out the 12-3-30-Treadmill Protocol on my own treadmill. I used my Stryd Footpod, the RunCline App (iPad), and Zwift (AppleTv) to record the "run" which was actually more of a hike. It’s fair to call it a run though, because if you were out on a trail run at…
