Masters cancelled tonight due to storms in the area. No point going to the ymca b/c they shut down the pool when there is lightning within 100 miles (ok, might be exaggerating a bit). Grrr, so frustrating. I hate spring storms on swim days. Guess I'll hit the bike instead.
I feel you, swim canceled twice this week! Once for weather and the other for some "maintenance" man hitting the wrong breaker and cause all the lights in the building to go out! The policy was no swimming in the dark so my only option was to go back to work ??
Varicose veins plague an estimated 20% of our population and those who are fit and active are unfortunately not immune. These tortuous veins are early manifestations of chronic venous disease.
Most people believe that running barefoot is dangerous. Certainly, depending upon the surface, they would be correct. However, there is some suggestion that running barefoot may reduce injuries.
I've just got back in the pool from a 2 week break and my triceps are killing me the whole time I am swimming. Wondering if someone has any ideas or tips to correct?
I’m only slightly thick in the head, but there is a gremlin-ish energy in the air as I prepare for my run. It occurs to me that this is not gonna be a comfortable 8 miles. This is gonna hurt.
Mental toughness is skill. You need to learn how to suffer. You practice perseverance everyday when you are out training in the bad weather, when you ride or run further than you have ever gone.
My dog is an intelligent runner. She does a big stretch before she does anything. She starts out slowly and gradually builds up speed until we are running very fast.
