February 2019
Dreaming of Speed
Speed or going fast in the swim, bike or run doesn't just happen because you want it or register for races. Speed it developed by effort in many aspects of your behaviors:
-Maintaining Race Weight/Body Composition-if you don't have the right amount of muscle or too much fat speed either can't be created or will be hard to maintain
-Practicing Fast- in your sport and resistance training you need to go really fast, not just hard,
-Go Easy-if you get caught trying to get a good workout or keeping up too often you will be tired, hungry and not practice really fast well
-Eat Clean- too much junk in your diet will challenge your recovery, limit your neurological system and could inflame you
-Sleep Enough-all systems and tissue need the chance to repair, recover and refuel for the next training
-Train Enough-both yearly and weekly repetition needs to happen to master the skill and create resilience to breakdown during training

Metabolic Testing
This testing is something I oversaw for 12yrs at TFP but are now choosing to contract it out so we can focus on training but it will continue to be a foundation of TFP coaching both Endurance Athletes & common fitness people looking to feel well and push off disease. A bonus, they offer a full body Dexascan to tell you your fat, muscle & bone levels in all areas of your body.
How it helps us: -we know HR zones are right -we know cal/min in each zone, loss over hours -we know what fuel you are losing and know need to maintain energy -we know what is the potential fat burning %, if below, the urgency to make change for to reduce fatigue, injury & bonking -we know the correlation to future health if low fat burning is the result
Here are the options we have set up for TFPers:
2 Months of Basic Training Plan + 2 Tests = $560 2 Months of Basic Nutrition Coaching + 2 Tests = $400 2 Personal Training Hour Sessions + 2 Tests = $270 Monthly Metabolic Clinic + 2 Tests = $220
Next Clinic is Dec 16th 5pm.
