CSR 2024 - 2025 Sunday Aerobic Power and Endurance BRICKs 

(Full Time CSR Athletes with Priority Placement). If you want to secure a spot in these EPIC BRICK sessions, you should consider joining the team (Either Personal Program with CoachCal, BRONZE Program, Daytime Program or Cycling Program).

These sessions are critical when developing endurance in preparation for a break through season in Triathlon, Cycling, UltraRunning and Adventure Racing. Even ultra runners will benefit from these long sessions. Building in duration and difficulty, from 3-5 hours, these BRICKS are done at Mount Royal University on their indoor track. All BRICK sessions start at 9am unless there are facility conflicts. There are a few BRICK sessions that will push into 5 hours.  BRICK session begin in November and end in May. After participating in the majority of these training session, you will be able to ride long and strong in early Spring. The BRICK sessions incorporate 90% cycling with small amount of running and conditioning intervals. You need to bring your bike and trainer for these sessions. You are welcome to skip the runs and continue cycling or do body conditioning.

Well it is the week of Ironman for most of you. Many of you are Ironman rookies, venturing into your first ultra endurance event.

Please consider the event as a personal challenge of execution and inner strength and even patience, rather than a race.

Well duh!  But when the sun shines on your while exercising, it is an entirely different stress!  Secondly, I have to say this... every athlete present in Kona was elite. Elite age groupers sporting less than minimum body fat and just ripped! What a spectacle of amazing athletes.

Back in 1994 my final project for my Masters Degree investigated the relationship between swim, bike and run individual time trials equal to the distances in an Olympic triathlon and what happens to these performance when you link them together. I found that there was no significant difference in the performances when comparing the swim and bike.

Criticalspeed is pleased to offer a series of amazing camps and clinics throughout the year.

Push through a plateau and get to the next level in your endurance fitness.

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to take this time to thank all of you who came out to Janice's celebration of life. The formal proceedings were very well done but obviously sad. The saddest moments were watching their three young children and realizing that their mum would no longer be apart of their daily growth and memory. Her father's, Gary,  tribute was touching and caring. Cameron's version of their short but wonderful life together was humorous and heart felt. Just weeks before the accident, a wise man visited Cam, Janice and their family.

He witnessed the love and happiness and needed to share his observation... he leaned over to Cam and whispered that "he had it all"....
