Just in case anyone else is as confused as this thread sounded. Women's 30k classic was yesterday (Saturday). Kikkan Randall came in 24th, and Holly Brooks came in 36th. http://tinyurl.com/y9zmeve Kikkan's strength is sprint freestyle, and this was the first she raced 30k in international race....

Remember how Rogge complained at the Beijing Games about how Usain Bolt celebrated in the 100M before he crossed the finish line? Well I have seen several cross-country skiers during these games celebrate before they crossed the finish line. If you don't believe me, here's one report of...

Gold medalist nordic combined skier. Nordic combined skier, Bill Demong , is fast-with or without skis. He's one of the fastest Nordic skiers in the world, and has a penchant for running 4:30 miles when he scraps his skis. "I've run a bunch of 4:30-something miles, but never under 4:30," says...

While I wouldn't be surprised if Rogge is a racist, I think your comparison needs better evidence to make it stick. Bolt's celebration at Beijing was slapping his own chest before the finish line. Rogge called Bolt's action disrespectful. And it was, whether Bolt intended it or was just being...

The race went off quite well, except for the fact that it was 3.35 miles long instead of 5K. *Three Garmin GPS devices measured it at 3.35 miles. The course was supposed to be three out and back loops on a half-mile road, plus a .1 mile stretch on an intersecting road, within a city park. The...

On another thread (is walking a waste of time...) the person known as "me" referred to HIT (high intensity training): http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100225/ap_on_he_me/eu_med_intense_exercise I have three issues with it: 1) Is there long term research on the health efficacy of HIT, versus an...

I ran at mid day today, and it was 80F here in Hollywood. After the first climb, I had to take my shirt off, and I guzzled down 48 oz of my sports drink on the 10 miler. I'm still thirsty. Hey, I hear Lake Erie is frozen over for the first time in 15 years, I guess that's good news for the...

Since I've been running, I've gotten faster, and I've noticed that the speed has come fairly naturally the longer I've been doing it, because I think as you practice something more and more you think about it less and less while your doing it, so you no longer focus on moving your legs...
