Speedendurance went live on May 21, 2007. That was Victoria Day in Canada (or La fête de Dollard-des-Ormeaux in Quebec)
So today marks the 2 year anniversary.
This site has helped hundreds of personal bests, seasons bests, and Masters “age category” bests over the past 2 years. And I don’t plan on slowing down either (at least on paper, that is!)
Speedendurance had over 500,000 visitors and over 1,000,000 pageviews. That’s a lot of pageviews or “hits” in layman’s term.
This Blog originally started as the book I never wrote, because the Content Management System (CMS) of WordPress helped me organize my ideas and videos by use of categories, tags, and live search.
I am very proud to have helped you, the readers, without starting a paid membership forum based web site. And I don’t intend in starting one either.
Access to information should always be free. An athlete should never be denied knowledge, because at the end of the day, the winner of 2 athletes, coaches, or team going head to head should be the one who trained harder and wants it more, not because of a lack of knowledge. Pharmaceutical differences aside, of course.
My philosophy is simple…
If you lose, don’t be sad. Shake your competitors hand, and go get him (or her) next time.
If you win, don’t be too happy either. No hot dogging or showboating, please.
I’ve got to say credit to you because your site is one of the best out there. Information from a wide range of sources clearly put across and easy to access. I only wish more people in athletics were as open and willing to share ideas and training methodologies as you are.
Looking forward to the next two years!
Best wishes
Dave

Hello Jimson,
Congratulations on your site’s 2 year anniversary. I can honesty say that I look forward to receiving your emails notifying us of your next post. Liked the comment about not slowing down. May you have many more sprints left in you.
Cheers and an ale for your health,

Great site Jim and I am glad it’s evolving into a creditable source of information with no BS.. All that 400m training FINALLY paid off!
Well done.
