Around his head?! Lol. I saw a post awhile back from someone saying ‘look how amazing I am; I ran a marathon and I can still walk…I thank cross fit’.
Surely Cross Fit is the latest Zumba/TV aerobics/Jillian Michael’s Ab Shred/Insanity/Kettle Bell fad. It’s got some merit but something will come and replace it! It’s certainly not the silver bullet to running – the only benefit seems to be that you get pushed a bit harder…something you should be doing in training anyway.
Ooo, this week I learnt about myofascial pathways and sling. So cool – lots of compound work, pressure points and dynamic cable (low weight, high rep) work to add to my strength training.
swear on my life…on his HEAD. the crazier thing is that i’ve seen multiple people do this…it wasn’t like a one time freak incident…i do NOT get this fad?!?!
1.The adage ‘Never go over 20 miles to train for a marathon’ made me scratch my head. It was only when I did that I finally nailed my BQ.
2. I’ve recently tried Foam Rolling to follow all the rage, and I’m a full convert.
3. I listen to everything, but it’s all an experiment of one and things that work for one do not work for another.
how could i have NOT included that first one!! it BLOWS me away that so many people and coaches profess there’s no need to go over 20 and also i don’t get why more people don’t think it an obvious assumption that they should do at least some of their long runs at a faster than easy clip. i mean, if u want to race that far, don’t u think u should at least test the waters before hand with pushing some longer mileage?? 😛 foam rolling…that is totally legit and something we should all spoon with. look wat u did, u got me on a spooning reference kick.
