Last week we went retro–back to the mid 2020-and-a-half’s and I talked virtually on Zoom with Stacey Kadenas, co-owner of Lumber Capital Athletics near Williamsport, PA. This was a somewhat selfish episode for me, as I’ve been inching closer and closer to the unveil of a massive announcement for Ruthless. Its reassuring that someone as …
Firstly, welcome to December–you heard it here first. But now onto fitness stuff. In this installment of Featured Fitness Content we’ll be looking at some articles that sit on the fringes of what can typically be considered ‘health’ content.

Let me start by saying that I don’t much consider myself a cyclist. I’ve just found myself in the position of long-distance cycling on a handful of occasions. The Capstone, of course, was the longest cycling event that I’ve completed, which was a cross-country cycling tour from San Francisco, CA to Pottsville, PA.–but this 4,000 …
