How/Why did you start running?
Or in case you're not yet a runner, why do you want to start running? Let's hear your stories :) I'll start with mine... I've never seen myself as a runner before and I never thought I would be one, if you had told me a year ago that today I'd be running 10 miles straight I'd tell you that you were out of your mind. I had…

Body Fat % Accuracy and importance
Hi all, First of all let me appologize if this is not the correct section for this, I thought of opening this thread on the exercise section as this is where I see these stats discussed the most but it really isn't about exercise so I thought it would be better here, I'm pretty sure the new moderators will be able to move…

Hydration in Heat
Just found this interesting article on Runner's World that given the recent stories of people strugling with the heat I thought would be good to share here. Enjoy: It must have been a decade or so ago that Hal Goforth took me by surprise. Goforth, an exercise physiologist and sometime winner of his age group in the Boston…

Resting Days
Hi Guys/Gals, A question has been lingering in my mind for quite some time now. Studies seem to show the more you do some physical activity the better your body respond to it, so if you train more in a "task" you'll be better at it. Having said that every single trainer and exercise expert will probably tell you that rest…
