Buying a Car Online

I love shopping for a new car online.  OK, maybe it's because I love cars...always have...but I can spend literally hours on automotive manufacturer web sites building and configuring my perfect new car.  I'll also spend time looking at a Dealer's inventory to see what they have in-stock that comes closest to matching what I want.  Once I've decided, it's off to the Dealership to test drive.

If that sounds like a typical consumer experience then I'm part of the increasing trend in the automobile buying journey.  And it's a growing trend as online usage grows broader and deeper.  I wonder what the process of buying a new car will be like when the Internet of Things connects me directly with the Connected Car?

Lose weight with high-intensity workouts

So I've plateaued in my running.  I haven't been able to lose weight but I am running comfortably...and injury free.  Still though, I know I need to ramp it up.  I've incurred a lot of injuries over the past few years so this time I'm taking it easy with the high-intensity workouts.  



Benefits iof a high-intensity workout: Increased VO2 Max, stronger and faster running and continuing to burn calories at a higher rate well after the workout.  Now that's the way to loose weight! Although because I'm a salty snack fanatic, I often fall to the temptation. Oh well, that just means another high-intensity workout.

Until next time...

How to improve your running form

The downside of improving your running form and becomming a more efficient runner is that you'll stop losing weight.  That's what's happened to me.  Unless I add more miles, I've become so efficient in my running style that I don't burn as many calories as I used to.  OK, I may also eat too much at supper and I do love my salty snacks so those may also be contributing factors.  But the fact is that I don't consume as many calories as I used to from running.

There is an upside and it's this:  I'm running comfortably and injury-free.  And there is a lot to be said for that.  Improving my running form has not been easy and it's taken some time but it has been worth it.  I've incorporated many of the tips below into my running.  Try them and let me know your results.

Until next time...
