Success in Track & Field ... and Life
Share Thanks to Wejo of LetsRun.com for pointing this out. At the 2008 Penn Relays, Stanford’s Alicia Follmar took a hard fall on the leadoff leg of the women’s distance medley. While she was on the ground, Follmar took a spike to the head but got up to finish a gutsy 3rd. Check out the [...]
Share During the summer in the Pacific Northwest, we do get our fair share of mosquitoes, and one of my tips to reduce the pain and inflammation is taking Omega 3 supplements. Lots of it. I didn’t realize it at the time until I contacted Jesse Cannone, and he mentioned trying an “Anti-Inflammatory Diet” as [...]
Share The 4×400 meter relay is arguably the most exciting event in Track and Field. This weekend was no exception. The Oregon Relays Check out the number of lead changes in this 4x400m video hosted by Runnerspace. We are so use to seeing USA dominate (annihilate?) the competition at International meets. University of Washington phenom [...]

Share Here is a video clip from the CBC archives. The video shows Tommie Smith and John Carlos being interviewed immediately after their 1968 Olympic “Black Power” salute from their Gold and Bronze medal in the 200 meters. They were ordered by the IOC to leave the Olympic Village within 48 hours. It also has [...]
Share In January, I wrote 2 articles on Vitamin B12 Deficiency Debate and Why is Vitamin B12 the Scapegoat. Mitch Pellecchia of VitaCost.com submitted this article, along with several others with topics ranging from Protein Powders, Amino Acids, and Essential Fatty Acids and Fish Oil. I like the fact that he cites all his references [...]

Share My all time favorite race without rabbits is the 1974 Commonwealth Games 1500 meters in Christchurch, New Zealand. Filbert Bayi’s set a world record of 3.32.2 beating New Zealand’s John Walker in the process. Bayi opened up a first lap 54.9 and ran from start to finish in first place, with Walker closing in [...]
Share The Miami Dolphins will make the first choice of the 2008 NFL Draft on April 26-27. If they don’t pick running back Darren McFadden (aka “D-Mac”) from Arkansas, they should fire their whole executive staff. At least pick him, and trade him if necessary. In my opinion, he’s the most talented athlete in the [...]

Share I had the pleasure of working out once with Decathlete Phil McMullen during my years at Berkeley, California. It was a pretty intensive speed endurance workout, and I’m sure glad he didn’t invite me to practice the field events! On the other hand, his brother Paul McMullen is well known for winning the 1996 [...]
Share Kenya, like Canada, has a hard time trying to develop a pool of 100m, 200m & 400m sprinters with Olympic and IAAF “A” Standards. I can’t remember the last time Canada sent a 4x400m relay team to a World Championships or Olympics. (HINT: 1992 Olympics) The Americans are overflowing in abundance in this department. [...]

Share The 2008 NFL Draft is around the corner. I recall last year when Dwayne Jarrett ran a 4.62 and a 4.67 40-yard dash at USC’s 2007 Pro Day. Dwayne was drafted in the 2nd round (45th overall) of the 2007 NFL Draft by the Carolina Panthers, and the eighth receiver selected. He was originally [...]
Share As a sprinter or runner, you know you should throw away your running shoes or training flats before the soles shows signs of excessive wear. Why? Because the padding on the inside has lost their effectiveness. This isn’t a shameless plug for Nike, Reebok, Puma or Adidas to buy more shoes. In my case, [...]
