I’ll admit it. I was THAT kid. The nerdy one that read under the covers with a flashlight into the early hours of the morning, while the rest of my house was fast asleep. It seems, though, I’m still THAT kid. But I don’t have to sneak books into my...
WEEK 9 It’s another week, and currently, it’s a week away from Christmas !!! Things are busy at ZF, as we are planning some Christmas-themed events, planning for some changes to events in 2022, including testing out some new features on the Pillar app, which we hope to officially launch...
Monday Monday Meetup, and making up for missed workouts last week. Today we have another session in the 20’ Sprint Intervals. The meetup today saw the original ZF Meetup Team, a bunch of us guys that started this little project during the lockdown, and we have been doing it for...

Sometimes, I get a little frustrated with myself. I know I’ve come a long way since I started cycling a year and a half ago, but I’m just not where I want to be. I’ve been putting in the work, but my FTP (functional threshold power) just isn’t budging. (If...
