REP Lab's Jay Dicharry talks Ironman prep |
Island Power: a case study in athlete development for Ironman World Championships in Kona, HI
"Hello- this is Jay can I help you?" After a short sigh, I get a panicked summary of the past several months. A constant battle with shin splints and stress fractures. Not able to run. Rest isn't helping. Oh and their biggest race of the season - IM Kona- is in 7 weeks. I wasn't startled. I asked her what her goals were for race day and she said top 10 and a PR in the run. Fast forward through 7 weeks of targeted rehab,strength, and form work. Longest run up to Kona was only 9 miles. Results? She ran a 3:04 and got 10th.

Road vs. Cyclocross Bike Fit: what's the difference in positioning?
A lot of hype concerning the difference between fitting a road bike and a cyclocross bike could be cleared up if we all agree on one simple thing: put the engine in the right place, and then adjust for handling and comfort. Let's break this down.

REP Athlete of the Month |
Linsey Corbin
I grew up in Bend, Oregon with dreams of winning Olympic Gold as a ski racer. Although I garnered many accolades as a downhill ski racer, my 100 -pound frame, large lung capacity, and tenacity led to running cross country and track & field through high school and early college. When I decided I no longer enjoyed running in circles, I hung up my track cleats and transferred to the University of Montana to study nutrition and exercise physiology.
Once in Missoula, I found my two loves: Chris Corbin and triathlon. It is in this complex sport that balances mental fortitude with peak physical fitness that I began to really dream.
I won the first two races I entered and set a course record in my first race as a pro. My vision is to transcend the boundaries of my sport and represent the importance of a sound mind, body, and diet in achieving dreams.
