In 2005, Phoenix, Arizona was gripped by fear as two shooters roamed the city at night, firing at anyone they came across. Cyclists, pedestrians, people sitting in cars, even animals were targeted. There was no pattern, no warning, and no way to predict who would be next. The killers gave their spree a chilling name. Random Recreational Violence.As weeks turned into months, panic spread across neighborhoods. Police chased thousands of tips with little progress. The shooters seemed to vanish into the night after every attack, leaving investigators scrambling and residents afraid to leave their homes after dark.The case finally cracked when one of the men made a drunken confession at a dive bar. That slip led police to Dale Hausner and Samuel Dieteman, two men who treated murder like a game. Recorded conversations revealed casual planning, dark jokes about their victims, and complaints about not getting enough recognition for their crimes.At trial, the full scale of the horror became clear. Dieteman admitted to his role in the attacks and multiple murders. Hausner was convicted of six killings and sentenced to death. Phoenix's year of terror finally ended, but not before dozens of lives were shattered forever.This is the story of how randomness itself became the weapon.

OVERVIEWVO2 max or maximum aerobic capacity is your performance ceiling, but it is trainable and you can not only increase your VO2 max, but also the power you can produce at VO2 max, how long you can sustain that power, and the amount of work you can accomplish between lactate threshold and VO2 max. In Episode #285 of "The Time-Crunched Cyclist Podcast", coaches Adam Pulford and Basecamp's Tim Cusick discuss how VO2 max training works, the workout specifics necessary to increase VO2 max, and how to turn training into speed for real-world performance. Topics Covered In This Episode:How VO2 max responds to trainingThe relationship between lactate threshold, FTP, and VO2 maxWhat to expect after 1-2 weeks of VO2 max trainingWhat to expect after 2-4 weeks and 4-8 weeks of VO2 max trainingHow to know when you've done enough VO2 max trainingVO2 max workout structure: interval duration, total time-in-zone, frequencyResourcesTim at Basecamp: https://www.joinbasecamp.com/tim-cusick Tim on IG https://www.instagram.com/tim.cusick_coach/Stress vs Strain: Difference Between Stress and Strain - GeeksforGeeks https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/physics/difference-between-stress-and-strain/Guest Bio:Tim Cusick is a world-class cycling coach, a leader in data analytics for endurance sports, an educator, and an innovative business leader.

This is one of the clearest, accessible, and practical explanations of FTP training you'll ever hear.

The people of Ballyea have made a submission to the Ennis Travel Plan to continue the pathway/cycle lane past Edenvale up the Kilmorane Hill on the N68 Kilrush road to the turn off for Ballyea. This 1 Km section is described as extremely dangerous for walkers and cyclists to access the town. Their request was not successful in getting advanced at this time as it was outside the limited area the Plan covers. Locals are now looking for a hard shoulder to be installed on this 1km section between Edenvale and Ballyea cross. To find out more, Pat Meaney, who is the Chairperson Ballyea Community Text Alert Group and Susan Griffin, Ballyea resident spoke with Alan Morrissey on Wednesday's Morning Focus.

As we enter the darkest time of the year, Gardaí have launched a campaign encouraging cyclists and pedestrians to wear high-visibility clothing and stay safe. However, President of Cycling Ireland and former Fine Gael TD Ciarán Cannon says this “narrative is deeply problematic”. Ciarán explained why to Shane.

Gardaí have launched a road-safety campaign focusing on things like the visibility of pedestrians, cyclists, e-scooter drivers and motorcyclists.But, some are saying that it's a “dangerous” narrative and putting a lot of the blame on cyclists, rather than promoting safe driving.So, are the criticisms correct, and should cyclists have to wear hi-vis at all times?Joining Andrea to discuss is Editor of Irish Cycle, Cian Ginty, as well as listeners.

This week on the GCN Show, we dive into a controversial debate: is it time to legalize cyclists running red lights and stop signs? We also take a look at a bonkers new "6-in-1" GPS head unit that uses AI and inflates your tires, plus we analyze the highest VO2 Max potentially ever recorded. Finally, we discuss why over 6,000 people have signed a petition to change the route of the Tour de France.

Send us a textA holiday gift list shouldn't be hype; it should help. We pulled together a clear, field‑tested guide to the cycling gear that actually gets used, lasts through real weather, and makes every ride safer and more fun. From high‑lumen rechargeable lights that punch through daylight to the rear‑view bike radar that changed how we ride, we break down the smartest upgrades across budgets—under $25, $50, $100, and splurge‑worthy picks when you want to go big.We also talk storage and travel, because clutter and logistics can sink a good ride. You'll hear about the aero saddle pack that keeps tools dry and mounts a radar cleanly, top‑tube bags for snacks on the move, vertical rolling stands that free garage space, and a simple charging station that tames cords when you're juggling lights, computers, and radar. Flying with your bike? We compare hard cases designed to roll smoothly through airports and shield carbon frames from baggage‑handler mayhem. For comfort and delight, we champion the stealth move of fresh premium bar tape, stainless steel bottles shaped for cages, multitools that replace rusted relics, and even fun socks and a crisp bell that cuts through trail noise.Beyond the gear, we share a listener spotlight with a twist—Waltham, Massachusetts, the Watch City that helped standardize manufacturing and keep the rails on time—plus a friend's ambitious 2026 cross‑country route spanning 14 states, Great Lakes coastlines, Glacier National Park, and more. It's a reminder of why the right kit matters: safety, freedom, and the simple joy of a smooth ride at bike speed.If you enjoy thoughtful cycling talk and practical recommendations, tap follow, share this with a rider who needs gift ideas, and leave a quick review to help more folks find the show.

Unpredictable cycles. Sleepless nights. Mood swings. Body composition changes. And performance that mirrors all of it. During the menopause transition, you never quite know which body will show up on any given day. As this week's guest menopause run and strength coach Becky Croft explains, you can still get stronger and faster, but it won't come from constantly pushing through or grinding it out. It takes smart planning, a different kind of periodization, and recovery that respects your shifting hormones and the cumulative stress that comes from this time of life. We dive into all of it: hormones, nutrition, hydration, strength, load management, and much more. Becky also opens up about her struggles with endometriosis, surgical menopause, and younger women in menopause can feel left out of the conversation.Becky Croft is a certified running and strength coach who specializes in guiding masters and menopausal athletes through the complex intersections of performance, hormones, and identity. After years of battling endometriosis and undergoing a full hysterectomy at 38, Becky entered surgical menopause as a younger, recreational competitive athlete—and quickly realized the resources she needed didn't exist. So she became the coach she was looking for. She is a Game Changers Coach and Mentor, holds certifications as a RRCA Run Coach, Girls Gone Strong Menopause Strength Coach, and Chi Running & Walking Instructor. Becky is the founder of hustle.run.thrive., where she helps runners of all ages, stages, and identities push performance boundaries without abandoning their bodies.

Our ligaments, tendons, and overall musculoskeletal system can take a real hit during the menopause transition, making injuries more frequent and recovery slower. Too often, practitioners still overlook common issues like tendinopathies—leaving women to live with unnecessary pain before getting an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. This week's guest, former pro triathlete and licensed massage therapist Jan Wanklyn, dives into the unique musculoskeletal challenges active menopausal women face, the soft tissue therapies (like ART) and exercise strategies that can help, and why she wishes hormone therapy had been an option back in her day.Jan Wanklyn, LMT, has been a massage therapist for 34 years. She is an Active Release Techniques® (ART) instructor and practitioner (1998–2025) and former professional triathlete with five Ironman wins (Germany, New Zealand ×3, Australia) and two Philadelphia Marathon victories. She holds a Human Movement Studies degree (University of Queensland) and a Graduate Diploma in Teaching, taught PE for eight years, and has coached triathletes online and in person. Jan's clinical toolkit spans Contemporary Medical Acupuncture, K-taping, DNS, SFMA, Smart Tools/IASTM, and extensive wet-lab/cadaver and running biomechanics training.

  Snakes in Pools and Magpie Attacks on Cyclists. Jeremy discusses the prevalence of snakes, noting that it is illegal to kill them, and they are frequently attracted to swimming pools, seeking water and warmth in filters or motors. He warns that even libraries are not safe from brown snakes. He also highlights an experiment examining why magpies aggressively attack cyclists more than other people. Retry

Grazing. Chronic stress. Poor sleep. Rushed meals. Sitting for long hours. Underfueled workouts. Estrogen decline. There's a lot more behind our fasting glucose and A1C than how many carbs we eat. This week we return to one of the most consistently requested topics: blood sugar meaning and management with Liz McKinney, CNS, LDN. We explore what glucose spikes really mean, why time-in-range and variability matter more than a single peak, and how stress, sleep, and even eating speed affect your numbers. We cover carb timing, meal sequencing, post-meal walks, creatine, why under-fueling can make exercise spikes worse, and much more so you can keep glucose working for your performance and overall health.Liz McKinney, CNS, LDN, heads up the clinical nutrition team at Nutrisense. Liz holds a Master of Science degree in Clinical Nutrition and Integrative Health and is a board-certified nutrition specialist (CNS) as well as a licensed dietitian nutritionist (LDN). In her time as a nutritionist, Liz has educated and counseled hundreds of clients in areas such as weight loss, hormonal imbalances, and gastrointestinal diseases. Her approach is rooted in the tenets of functional medicine, and she strives to identify the root cause of the issue instead of simply treating the symptoms. She realizes there is no one-size-fits-all approach to achieving optimal health and feels it is crucial to be in an equal partnership with her clients.

At 46, professional off-road cyclist and coach Serena Bishop Gordon has redefined what she thought was possible—physically, mentally, and emotionally. From second place at this year's Unbound XL (360 miles in 22:19:56 hours) to multiple podiums at Oregon Trail Gravel Grinder, Serena shares how she's learned to let go of limits, release outcomes, and lean into curiosity. We dive into the mental shift that unlocked her best performances, how underfueling can mimic perimenopause, and all the ways midlife women can get faster and go longer than they ever thought possible. She also breaks down what women can expect during Feisty's Winter Training for Cyclists 16-week program she's coaching starting this December. Serena Bishop Gordon is a professional off-road cyclist, coach, and community builder with more than a decade of racing at the elite level. She's delivered standout results at Unbound XL, Oregon Trail Gravel, Cape Epic, Breck Epic, and international UCI cyclocross. Her strengths lie in technical terrain, strategic pacing, and mental toughness—skills honed over thousands of miles and many seasons. Serena founded Special Blend Gravel, a coaching and community-building organization that uplifts women through camps, coaching, and inclusive community, guided by a “person first, athlete second” philosophy that centers joy, balance, and connection.

Oregon is still waiting for a court to decide whether or not President Trump can send National Guard troops into Portland. But as that battle plays out in court, the fight for Americans’ hearts and minds continues in South Portland.   On one side are conservative media personalities and streamers, who’ve been granted eye-popping access to Trump administration officials as they broadcast a vision of ongoing protests as violent and dangerous. On the other: protestors who are actively lampooning that narrative with nudity and frogs – and a lot more.   On the latest episode of OPB Politics Now, reporters Dirk VanderHart, Alejandro Figueroa and Erik Neumann discuss those competing visions.  

What if you could boost your strength without ever touching a weight? We're tearing down the walls of traditional strength training for masters athletes and weaving it into your cardio routine. This episode is all about redefining how athletes over 40 can strengthen their bodies during the winter months by blending strength exercises with aerobic activities. It's about precision, recovery, and using the cold season to lay a robust foundation that will sustain your fitness and endurance when the heat of summer training kicks in. We're talking long-term gains without the burden of a gym-bound schedule, making the best of winter's challenges and turning them into opportunities for success. Our discussion advances to the strategic incorporation of interval training for cyclists and other endurance athletes. We provide insights into how this method can prevent the staleness that often stems from traditional aerobic workouts. Through a structured 14-week "out-season" program, you'll learn how to chart your progress with metrics like power and heart rate, ultimately enhancing both your physical capabilities and mental resilience. This flexible approach isn't just about workouts; it's a strategy that balances sport and life, allowing for a more holistic and sustainable fitness journey. Embrace the winter with us and unlock the secrets to maintaining peak performance year-round.
