“You should really have a camp in Duluth.” Said one of my athletes.
“OK! Let’s do it!” My camp experiences have always left me with a ton more confidence and knowledge and I wanted to give that experience to my local athletes. Also, we have a ton of fun so I am always up for a weekend devoted to training.

Last weekend, August 21-23, my coach and I hosted the inaugural rbCampDuluth! ...

Friday we started out at beautiful Island Lake, just north of Duluth, with our talk on the important training topics: heart rate, recovery and fueling. Zone 1 is NOT recovery! We then did a recovery run and swim.

Prior to our long ride Saturday morning, we fueled up with breakfast at The Social House. I find that we learn the most just through the casual conversations we have during times like these–Listening to others’ experiences and being able to ask questions. This breakfast was no different. We then headed out for our long ride. For some of the athletes, this was the longest ride they’ve ever done. I was most proud of them because they worked the hardest and had to leave their comfort zones many times that morning. When we were finished, we fueled and headed to the track for some speed work. My legs are still sore!!!
