Hello all, I'm thinking about traveling through the U.S. from early December for a week and a half or two weeks on way to the U.K. The normal tourist stuff is easy to find out about, but I am after some recommendations for scenic half marathons or 10KM. Hopefully there are some on where it...

# "Sprinters are born and not made. So world class 100 meter sprinters do not have to train? They do not need world class coaching to achieve their potential?

BTW, I don't think either Courtney nor Whitfield were amongst the 4 best Americans at 400 meters. Our team was smaller so they were good enough, but could they beat those who came in 4th, 5th or 6th at the Olympic Trials those years? Glenn Davis, the #1 400 meter hurdler in '56 and '60 also ran on...

Awl -- 100 m sprinters -- purely anaerobic, right? Do you think any of them include distance running at all, for "crosstraining" purposes? Distance = 1 mile. Does anyone know what people capable of a 10 sec 100m would run a mile in? How bout distance runners running the 100m?

I have experienced a second wind during a 7 mile race while running on a quarter mile track. I felt as though I was laboring thru the entire race, but I finished the last 200 yards at a blazing pace. Where did that sudden burst of energy come from? E.A. Williams

I did four miles on the treadmill today at 5 MPH (12 min/mile). *At about 35 minutes, I felt a surge of energy; I don't know where it came from, though. I wasn't taking any carbs while running, just water with a NUUN tablet dissolved in it. *Could it have been fat burning kicking in? *Could it...

I just don't have a good way to carry water. And I'd rather not have something sloshing around if it's not useful. I use an Ultimate Direction waist belt. Carries a water bottle in the back and then in the front I have two sizable pouches. I put Gu, paper towel (in case i have to hit the...
