Welcome to the Endurance Geeks blog!
Endurance Geeks is the culmination of a degree in Exercise Science, a slog through the world of personal training, a degree in English (writing concentration), a Master's degree in Health and Safety, a geeky database programming background, several years of triathlon training (including a total of seven Ironman finishes), and several 7+ hour bike rides while training for Ironman Florida 2007.
You'll have to figure out how to split all that experience between the two EG principals, Jon Hall and Barry Baird.
Bottom line: we love training and racing. And studying the art and science of training and racing. And playing with all the fun algorithms and equations of training and racing. The human body is an amazing, adaptable machine. Trained correctly, the very body you occupy right now...yes, the one you see in the mirror every morning...is capable of incredible feats. That's what we're all about: finding out what makes you tick. Then applying the correct stressors, in the correct doses, at the correct times, to maximize your performance.
If you can't imagine crossing a 5k, 10k, half marathon, marathon, or triathlon finish line, we can help you see the light. It is possible. You just have to make the commitment and do the work.
We also work with people who simply wish to get fit, lose weight, and live a healthy lifestyle. Of course, we're always happy to suggest a race or two - just to add a little spice to the workouts!
Sure, we're a bit geeked out about fitness and training...but we do it to cut through all the clutter out there. For new athletes especially, there's endless information available -- problem is, it's often confusing, contradictory, or just plain dangerous. We bring clarity -- and sanity -- to the playing field.
Don't worry...this blog won't be just one big sales pitch. Sure, we'll refer to VO2 testing and it's benefits...but we'll also provide real, applicable training tips and advice. And we'll feature guest columnists to share their particular experiences and expertise. We'll also hear from our coached athletes with their race recaps and interesting training experiences.
Stay true to your zones!
Jon and Barry
