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 …

So after doing 5km runs for a while now I have started to feel as though rather than it being a question of whether or not I CAN do them, it becomes a question of how fast I can do…

Running is supposed to be enjoyable, right? I'm just kidding, of course it isn't. I go running because I want to stay in shape and be on top of my cardiovascular health, I do not…

I am definitely not an expert on running techniques or even just running in general. What I do find myself to be good at though, is being very stubborn and not giving up and I thi…

I signed up for a half-marathon in about 7 weeks so I figured I would get out there and train for it a little bit and in the process of doing so I have learned a few things about m…

I love Mexican food or more specifically, Tex Mex which I think is superior and I will not apologize to people who thing that is wrong. Well I want to have tacos but I already kn…
