Hello and thanks for receiving our email updates. I'm getting back from a trip to the Life Time Fitness Center in Scottsdale Arizona where they had a big event featuring the Toyota Venza. New sponsors for LTF including VeloVie Bikes and MBT Shoes were there too. It was a great weekend!
The weather is starting to break and spring is right around the corner. I hear from athletes across the country how their motivation and excitement for the new season is on the rise. Being stuck indoors is can put a damper on anyone's enthusiasm, but if you 'paid the price' indoors this winter, you'll be ready to hit the road with good form now that the weather is improving.
When you start getting outside more, the tendency is to drastically increase your training volume. However, you need to be mindful of over doing it. Remember the old rule of increasing volume by no more than 10% every 1-2 weeks? While this is not a magical formula, it will serve to keep your training volumes in check and help prevent doing too much-too soon and create various overuse injuries and other issues. Be smart.
A few quick updates:
