This week i will be sharing a workout that is designed for a small group of individuals who have been training with me for 6 weeks, once a week. These individuals are preparing to race in a Tough Mudder event in Colorado this coming September. The Tough Mudder is a team-oriented 10-12 mile obstacle course…
So when Crystal asked me to put a few notes together on what training with her and the Wright Training team has done for me, I struggled a bit to know where to even start. I’m in my 50’s, and pretty far from the average fitness of a lot of her athletes who I see…
This work out is designed to tax the glycolytic abilities of the working muscles. The idea is to have short bursts of high intensity exercises that use the stored energy within the muscle. The muscles will fatigue towards the end of the round but we are trying to push our lactate threshold. This will show…
This workout is a great stamina workout, really focusing on core and maintaining stamina through the summer season. When we only participate in our sports in the summer our core and stabilizers become weak. Our big muscle groups become overused and we start to compensate for weaker areas. This workout will get all your muscles…

Firstly, what was the race? Scout Mountain Ultra Trail 60k (37.5 miles) How long did you train for the race and what…
This weeks 7:30 Base Fitness class is nothing special. No wild or crazy new exercises, just pure traditional strength and work capacity. The warm up is a favorite of mine. Each movement is performed for one minute – single arm kb swing, front to back lunges (same arm still) then halo one direction around the head opening…
With bike/run fitness classes wrapping up last week and summer (almost) officially beginning, it is time we take the strength, balance, and stability we worked so hard to gain out onto the trails, road, and mountains. Athletes should now have a solid base on which to build sport specific speed and endurance outside of the…
