My Shoes Have a Spec?

I never thought I'd own a pair of shoes that came with a spec. It makes sense though considering how much time one spends on these suckers.

I'm not really sure when exactly to buy new shoes but I purchased these after 260 miles. I picked them up at the running factory in Campbell, California. The owner, Tom Schenone, is a really great guy and I'd recomend his store to anyone needing shoe advice. And I'm not just saying this because he offered to lend me his race wheels. ;-)

Note to self: Buy this --> Selle Italia Prolink Gel Flow Saddle: http://www.bikeworld.com/product/saddle/selle_italia/prolink_gel.html 

Report on blood lactate 1

Everything I thought I knew about lactic acid is wrong.

...lactic acid doesn't produce burning sensations, it does not induce soreness, and it's not a form of metabolic 'rubbish' which must be eliminated from your cells as quickly as possible. In addition, oxygen shortfalls are not required in order to make lactic acid appear in your muscles and blood: The truth is that lactic acid is produced in your body all the time, around the clock, even when you're at rest, and its concentrations rise whenever you take in a carbohydrate-containing meal. Fortunately, we're not telling you all this to improve your chances of gaining a PhD in cell physiology: We're giving you the straight scoop because an understanding of how lactic acid actually functions in your body can improve your performances tremendously!
