Freaky Band Name of the Week

Pat Gallagher's Blog

I am a Madison boy through and through. You can hear me from Noon to 6pm every weekday on Triple M, where I’ve hosted the Radio Deli since 1999. I get a real thrill when artists show up at the station for interviews and in-studio performances. When I'm not on the air, you'll probably find me either at home with my wife and pets or biking, running or swimming. After successfully completing the 2008 and 2009 Ironman Wisconsin races- I’m now turning my attention to shorter triathlons and trying to qualify for the Boston Marathon!

More Strength Training…

Posted in: Uncategorized

Strength training is starting to come along. Still not my favorite activity- but I have figured out that there are two reasons for this…

1) Too long before I see results. I’m in my 3rd week and I don’t look ripped, I know that’s not a reasonable expectation, but 3 weeks into running, I could actually run a mile or two, it felt like I was progressing. This doesn’t feel like there is any progress.

2) I like to sweat. I sweat a little with strength training- but nothing like an hour on a bike or running. After a soccer game I can wring out my shirt. Not the case after lifting.

I did add a little twist to the routine this morning- doing the last set of each exercise on top of a bosu ball (that funny half-exercise ball- flip it over so the flat side is up and try to stand on it). Really made me concentrate on my core.
