I saw this video drop yesterday and from the moment it opens, I thought, “damn, Eric’s got it!” In a piece that captures his “coolest triathlon day with the coolest people” on the longest day of the year, I couldn’t help but wonder: did this badass, professional triathlete accidentally venture into the crushitzone??? You be […]
I was asked the other day about how I felt cross-training with swim impacted my running. Honestly, I can’t imagine not doing it, since I’m a much better swimmer than I am a runner. For me, running is really jarring and 2-3 days straight will definitely start to show in the form of ice packs […]
Moving from Florida to California, the first adjustment I had to make was elevation. Now I get it, Los Angeles isn’t at 6,000 ft above sea level, but you can go from 0 to 2,500 ft in less than 2 miles and still see the ocean here! One of the amazing benefits of the company […]
I’ve seen a lot of posts pop up lately about diet and the struggle of being a kick ass athlete while trying to also eat like a gazelle. I’ll start by saying very plainly, I’m not a dietician. I’m not a nutritionist and I’m currently not an expert, but I have found some really good […]
I can’t believe eight days ago, I launched this site with the 100th #CrushItZone post. Today we topped 200, making that just about 12.5 photos posted per day of you all CRUSHING IT! I’m floored, I’m speechless and I honestly can’t thank everyone enough for embracing this tag and incorporating it into their fitness journey. […]
Years ago I read an interview with a fitness expert where they describe Millennials by their “workout so they can eat pizza” mentality. To be honest, it bugged me. Maybe they were right, or maybe I’m just bugged by any generalization that presupposes the intention of a group, either way it has stuck with me […]
This past holiday weekend I wanted to spend more time at home and to make that possible, I went back-to-back days on the cycle trainer (which I reviewed here). I did two completely different workouts but really want to compare them to each other. To be honest, cycling is one area I’ve been struggling to […]
It may come as a surprise to some of you, but I play a fair amount of videogames. In fact, at one point in my life I was tasked with building the videogame program for Red Bull. What resulted are some of the closest friendships that my wife and I share, due in a large […]
One of the questions I received recently was from a long distance runner looking to branch out to swimming. While I’m not a spectacular swimmer myself, these are three things that anyone can use to add some distance to their swim sets: Focus on your form: whether that means joining a master’s swim group or […]
WE HIT 100!!! Training aside, #CrushItZone hit 100 uses on Instagram! This is absolutely unreal to me and I am continually inspired by everyone out there making it happen, day in and day out. It’s so cool to read about new PR’s, tough days, long hours and rebuilding from injuries. Somehow all that makes my […]
