Tip of the Week
Cleaning Your Bike
Bike Cleaning Every single OULER should know how to do basic bike cleaning. The dirtier your bike is the better chance you run of your parts not working properly and/or as smoothly as they are supposed to. Follow the videos below to keep your bike looking good and running smooth.

Get Tested! It's vital to your success!
Lactate Scout There is no single bigger thing you can do to improve than to get tested. Testing establishes your zones which are vital for training progression. Every workout must have a purpose and every workout should be focused on training in specific zones. If you don't know those zones how to do you know you're working out correctly to maximize your time and efforts? Once tested on the bike and run it's also important to get retested every 3-6 months to ensure that your efforts are progressing with your fitness improvements.

Both Memorial Hermann and Onurleft Sports offer testing. Our schedule is much more flexible giving you a choice of more days and times.

Happy Birthday!

Notable Upcoming Changes - We are working on securing a track, long term, to build a speed program in the off season. Once we do we will be transitioning the Tuesday Memorial Park run to the track. With cold weather coming we are looking at changing the Sunday long ride/brick back to being indoors either at the studio or at West U Fitness on Sundays. More details to come, for now everything stays as is (above).

Shauna
Athlete Spotlight 
Shauna Hall
Shauna is a teacher in Cypress turned triathlete turned Ironman. Last year she decided to help us race direct with Onurmark instead of racing our events. It's been our privilege to get to know Shauna even more over the past couple years. She will give it her all every single time she laces up her shoes, puts on her goggles, or clips into her pedals. In fact we often need to tell her when to back off because she will go and go until she just cannot go anymore. 

She's been with us a while and helps with so much of what we do. Just another example of why the OUL family is a great group to be part of. Keep up the good work Shauna!

Thank You...
for being part of the best team in Houston. Not only do we appreciate your business but we appreciate your willingness to learn and grow with us and welcome others to the team along the way. Everyone's doing great things and we are excited to see what the future holds!

Take Care,

The Onurleft Coaches
