Big Dawgs
What is a Big Dawg?
I'm not entirely sure where the name came from, but a name matters not. What does matter is what we, the Big Dawgs represent - a constant search for answers to higher levels of fitness and all that it pertains to. Big Dawgs have come and gone, they come in, learn, move on and are better for it; some have come and have never left - we help one another grow through removing the personal limitations; not strong enough, not enough stamina, not belonging to a community, no reason behind the prescription.
We have high level fitness enthusiasts who strive to be better at a lot of things, not just one. We have high level thinkers who understand the connection between the body and mind. We have respect for all ideas around fitness and truly allow an area for open mindedness. We welcome all; but be prepared for discomfort, mental and physical - this allows forward momentum. Wondering what group to follow, find out more HERE

Been on an investigative piece on the mind of Dave Scott for a while now.
After Ross had given me IronWar, I looked into my book tinkle trunk and remember having read Dave Scott's Triathlon Training before years back, and what do you know, there it was.
Some golden nuggets in there.
IronWar is fun as well - all politics aside, a good read into the mind differences of Mark Allen and Dave Scott, 2 true warriors with different swords.
I understand both swords, and in both cases, you get what you pay for. But I understand both.
Here is an excerpt above - a typical day of training food for Dave - call it what you will - but i cannot help but "notice" the macro totals, the ratios and %'s, and the quality of food sources.
Now it is what it is, all judgements aside, but the dude could race and suffer, bottom line, and for that, all science and analytics go out the window and a quesiton of resiliency has to be asked - are you resilient enough to suffer more, that is the true question you have to ask yourself?
And what are you doing to increase your resiliency?
