La Sportiva Wildcats – Trail Running Shoe Review

WSG — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 03:39:01 +0000

Here’s a sweet ride with a ton of cushion and large toe box the Wildcat has become one of my favorite La Sportiva Trail Shoes. I ran my last two 100 milers in the Wildcats, the Wasatch 100 and Oil Creek 100. The shoe it self does weighs a little more then the Fireblades and is a little bulkier but has a killer traction( FriXion® X-Axis rubber outsole ) system that gives you a lot of confidence to bomb the technical muddy downhills. The wildcat is a higher profile shoe but surprisingly I never role my ankle in the toughest terrain, no blisters with the Wildcats…by La Sportiva

Lake Erie Endurance Swim Record – Shattered

WSG — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 19:06:43 +0000

Long time college friend Randall Mcelwain set his sights on a endurance swim across Lake Erie, he trained all summer and was determined to take down the record of 11:53 from Long Point to Freeport Beach, Pa. Randy sent me an e-mail asking for some endurance nutrition ideals, I mentioned the EFS Liquid Shot by First Endurance, this will keep your electrolytes in line and deliver even energy througout the swim.

I am the new Long Point, OT to Freeport Beach , PA record holder with a time of 11:23. The record was broken by exactly 30 minutes with the former holder there to witness. The swim was great except for the 2-4 foot waives the entire crossing.

Hey, the First Endurance EFS Liquid Shot was great. I took it on the hour and my strength was did not waiver the entire swim. Not a single cramp in my Arms and Shoulders.

Thanks for the advice!

Ultragen by First Endurance

WSG — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 02:11:13 +0000

This is the one product that has changed my race seasons by leaps and bounds!!

Robert Kunz, MS

The hard training we do on the bike is only the stress that we impose, and is only half of the training equation. To get the most out of that hard training, we need to recover and let our body adapt and come back even stronger. Ultragen recovery drink by First Endurance can be a critical component of your recovery plan.

The Importance of Recovery
When I was younger, my ideal weekend consisted of pounding out hours and hours on the bike each morning and then trying to do the same the next day. I rather enjoyed that feeling of utter exhaustion in between and at the start of following rides, and looked at it as a sign of good training. It was only a few years and degrees later that I put the training-recovery spiral together and realized the importance of proper recovery, both physical and dietary, as an important component of overall training.

Think of a rubber band analogy. If you want to have the hardest snap of the band (training), you also need to pull the band back (recovery) as much as you can. One does not exist in a vacuum without the other.

Dietary Recovery
You have probably heard of the following two terms bandied about before, but let’s define two of the most important concepts in dietary recovery:

First Endurance teams up with trail running

The Wasatch Speed Goat Mountain Racing Team powered by First Endurance!

Karl Meltzer introduced me to First Endurance three years ago and I haven’t stop improving since then. With the heavy demands we put on our body it’s tough to keep up with nutrition. Lance Armstrong’s Astana Cycling Team is also powered by First Endurance products….Scrape on!!

Wasatch Speed Goat Trail Team testimonial: Chris Boyack

“Just wanted to drop a quick note and say thank you for sponsoring our Wasatch Speed Goat running team. I am a firm believer in your products and put MultiV, OptygenHP, Liquid Shot, and Ultragen to the test over the past two months leading up to the Moab Red Hot 50K+ race last weekend. Karl turned me on to Ultragen last year, and I have been taking the vitamins and Optygen every day for the past 2-3 months. LS was my fuel of choice for the race. I had a great day in Moab and give a lot of credit to First Endurance. I couldn’t believe how easily I was beating my targeted splits, and with such a moderate heart rate (for me). Truly a fantastic feeling. Yes, I trained a lot as well – but I feel that the FE products really made a difference in how my body was able to absorb the training I was doing.

I surpassed my goal by a long shot, and didn’t have to kill myself to do it. A great confidence boost and I now know I can start pushing even harder. Keep up the good work, and thanks again. “
