		<description><![CDATA[One of the biggest changes that I have made in the way that I work in the last year had nothing to do with technology. It is nothing -- it is not expensive. But it has radically redefined the way that I both view my work space but interact with my colleagues and then plan my day. As I mentioned earlier, it's not something you can buy, it's really something you need to do. It's as simple as this. Stand up.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As an endurance athlete with a jam-packed schedule, you spend the better part of your day running full tilt. Whether it's work or play, you probably give everything 110% until you absolutely can't anymore. Most of the time your body's way of saying "no more!" is to throw a cold at you...or to give you enough consecutive sub-par workouts that you can't ignore the fact that you are off your game. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are different times throughout your year when you need to be able to prioritize your training in a way that is commensurate with the results you want to achieve. There will come a time in your training cycle when you will need to get really strong and focus in order to make sure the results that you want on race day are readily available to you.

		<description><![CDATA[It's not only possible to lose weight as an endurance athlete at a low-volume training time, it's actually the best possible time to do it. There are minimal performance goals and you have plenty of extra time to spend the energy on a new approach to food organization and prepararation. Yes, it's a huge downer to be focused on healthy eating habits over Thanksgiving and the winter holiday season...but for many endurance athletes simply not gaining the winter five pounds (forget losing) is a significant start.]]></description>
