I don't really drink nearly as much as I used to because that was a very large part of the reason why I ended up gaining so much weight in the past. If you are drunk or worse, hun…

I have a jogging program where I go out and hit the bricks, as they say, at least 3 times a week. I am not trying to break any land-speed records when I do this, nor am I overly c…

It wasn't that long ago that I was a rock-solid 92kg. Because of a strongman contest that happened one year I dropped below 90kg's just because that was the cutoff point. There w…

Over the years I have heard a ton of excuses why a person can't exercise or various explanations about how they eat in a certain unhealthy or fad-at-the-time sort of way and I am c…

I don't claim to have all the answers in health and fitness but I do know quite a lot from having done a lot of things right, then doing them wrong, and then changing them up to do…

For most of my fitness life I have been focused on weights, bulking, and bodybuilding. In the many years that I have been on this planet, for the younger years of mine, I found th…

After that grueling hill race that took over 6 hours to complete and drained me like I don't think I ever have been before, I took about a week off before I started to look around …

So after my big trail run in the hills a week ago I desperately needed some time off of moving at all basically. When I woke up the following day my entire body felt rigid and my…

Lately I have been working pretty hard on my cardio by my standards. For 2 decades prior to now I was mostly focused on strength training and bodybuilding but then decided one day…

If you aren't new to the fitness game, you probably already know this. I was digging through all the case files that have probably been intentionally buried on the internet that i…

Now for starters I want to clarify that what a long run actually is will be very subjective. For me, since I haven't really been training for running for very long and only recent…

I was talking to some local friends the other day about triathlons and cycling in general and we all came to the consensus that of all the exercises that all of us do, cycling is t…

For most of the past year I have been doing cardio for the sake of improving my cardio but also because over the years involved in weight training and the diet that comes along wit…

Although these times are certainly not going to be impressive to everyone and wont be to anyone that has been doing distance running for a long period of time, it is impressive to …

So I was real proud of myself for doing 12.5 km in a single day including one of them being a non-stop 10km jog that was a pretty decent pace. I was a bit irritated at myself for …

If you follow me perhaps you read my last story about a planned 10 km run where I was 4km away from any assistance before I figured out that I had cheap cotton socks on and they we…

Socks are pretty important for sports and it wasn't until I started getting a bit more into distance running that I started to realize that it makes a lot of difference which kind …

I live in a part of the world where almost everything is dead flat. There are barely any hills and definitely aren't any mountains. The only elevated anything we have around here…

The pros and all the people who have fitness websites would probably tell you to repair it with the kit that you should *always have with you* and they inform you of the benefits o…

It's taken me a bit of time to figure this out but I have discovered the pace that I can run for longer periods of time without much difficulty. There are a number of things that …
