From Carl in NYC: During the off season my strength workouts show improved strength and I make gains. Now with a lot of training for an upcoming Ironman I can barely keep on an even keel. For example 6 months ago I could do 12 pull ups and was getting stronger. Now with lots of [...]

From Jim in Ann Arbor : Do you suggest training through an injury? A lot of days my calves are sore and I am wondering if I should run or not. Usually if I take a few days off they are still sore. Should I wait longer until its all gone? From Dave Scott: “Soreness” [...]
