Afterwards, we enjoyed watching the meet [...]
Share Since the Olympics are generally a good representation of countries (if you forget about the boycotts of 1976, 1980 & 1984) I thought I would give the readers an idea on who has visited Speedendurance.com during the last 3 months. United States and Canada represent almost 80% of all visitors, which is no surprise [...]

Share If you remember Covert Bailey from PBS decades ago, he emphasized exercise over diet by means of fat metabolism, and how it was impossible to lose weight by diet alone. His best selling book The New Fit or Fat revolutionized America’s thinking about diet, exercise, and weight loss. This article emphasizes the same points. [...]

Share I feel bad about being in the middle of August and I haven’t posted an article on electrolyte drinks or simply hydration in general.

Share With the upcoming World Championships in Osaka less than a month away, I couldn’t help but reflect on the 2001 World Championships which were held in our “backyard” in Edmonton, AB. How many races are won and lost at the finish line? And I’m not referring only to the 100 meters. Long sprinters, 200m [...]
