Frequently Asked Questions...
I’m a heavy runner/cyclist @ 245 pounds & 6’-5” tall & would like to improve my 5k time & cycle faster?
I have recently added cycling to my training and have dropped my 5k time from around 25min to around 22min but I weight the same. I have tried to lost weight but nothing seems to work. I’ve tried dieting, but every diet I try makes me feel sick and lit headed, or weak. My goal is to get my weight down to around 215 pounds or less if possible and drop my 5k time to under 20min. and to be able to cycle longer at faster pace 20+ mph. I currently play b-ball for 45min 4-5 times a week and run around 12 miles and/or cycle around 60 miles a week. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Live strong & ride hard.
Answer:
Do intervals! On both your run and your bike. As for the weight, you need to cut carbs and eat more fresh fruits and veggies. What are your eating habits like? You said you don't like ot diet, but when you pick up "bad" foods yo need to think about what you want more, the icecream in your hands or to be lighter (which will make you faster!) Good Luck!

Riding a horse can be your weight loss guide
HorseCoursesOnline.com has added the unique feature of “telephone consultation” to its “special knowledge” equine studies course Fit to Ride, a weight loss guide.
The online course is instructed by Norma Fay, a certified weight management consultant and active horsewoman.
Most of us know when we are a little overweight, but most of us don't know what to do about it, says Fay. We know that a horse should not carry more than 20 per cent of its own body weight, and that includes the tack. So if you are pushing the limits, what can you do about it?
“Don’t diet,” says Fay. “Instead learn the steps to the S.M.A.R.T plan which will help you attain your proper weight and keep it there. And if you want to talk about your progress and your riding, just give me a call.” The S.M.A.R.T plans stands for "specific" "measurable" "action" "realistic" and "timed": the things which assure you control you weight, Fay says.
Fay points out that there is always one communication aid being employed the entire time you are riding—your weight. “A lot of riders know they are a bit too heavy,” Fay says, “but most of the time they really don’t know what they can do about it, other than diet.
“But diets don’t work for long and aren’t the best remedy,” she says. “What you need is a plan for living a healthier, happier equestrian lifestyle, and that’s what you get with this online course.”
“Special knowledge” courses, such as Fit to Ride, are taught by leading experts in the field and concentrate on single interest topics or competitive events, and are “elective” courses for personal enrichment.
