About

You are here: Home / About

I live on two principles:

1) Lao Tzu said 2500 years ago, “Fail to honour people, they fail to honour you”

2) Steve Jobs said, “People with passion can change the world for the better”

SpeedEndurance.com is based out of Vancouver, Canada, Rome, Italy London UK and founded by Jimson Lee.

In short, it’s the book I never wrote. Yet.

Who the heck is Jimson Lee?

Jimson is a Masters Athlete and Coach. He was the President of the Metro Athletic Club based in Vancouver, BC.

Jimson participates in numerous foundation projects, including being the technical editor for the 1956/1973 re-release of Bud Winter’s So You Want to be a Sprinter.

Why does SpeedEndurance.com sound familiar?

This Blog has been quoted in ESPN (sports.espn.go.com), BBC (bbc.co.uk), NY Times (blogs.nytimes.com), Yahoo Sports (Rivals.yahoo.com), Sports Illustrated (sportsillustrated.cnn.com), Yahoo’s College Football (collegefootball.rivals.com), the San Jose Examiner, WIRED.com and Wikipedia.org.

Several leading research papers have referenced SpeedEndurance, including PEDIATRICS: the official journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics, the International Journal of Sports Science & Engineering, and the Journal of Human Kinetics.

Zen Habits ranks SpeedEndurance.com as one of the 20-plus Amazing Fitness Blogs to Inspire You

As well, Sprintstrong.com ranks Jimson as one of the Top 20 Online Speed Experts.

SpeedEndurance.com’s work was referenced in the printed edition of ESPN Magazine, The Globe and Mail (Canada’s National newspaper) and GeezerJock magazine.  Recently, Jimson has contributed to the IAAF New Studies in Athletics (NSA) Journal.

He also writes guest articles for The Final Sprint, The Science of Sport and other popular Track and Field sites.

Jimson is a member of the Track & Field Writers of America.

What this site is about

This site is a fun, no-nonsense, useful, and interesting approach to Track & Field, lifestyle, health, and fitness.

Generally, the posts will vary on a weekly basis with topics of:

  • Speed & speed endurance training tips and actual workouts
  • Analysis, commentary and videos of elite performances
  • Supplements and nutrition
  • Weight training & circuit training workouts
  • Product reviews of books, DVDs, and training gadgets
  • Injury prevention and recovery
  • Leadership, sports psychology and success
  • Olympic history

I was inspired to write these articles after 30 years of experience and being fed up of seeing gimmicks presented by personal trainers always trying to sell you a gadget. As well, I was fed up of seeing the million books on fad diets even though some have good ideas and intentions.

I’m not selling anything, though the articles here on this site alone can easily fill up a book or two. No gizmo’s, no quick fix, no magic pills. All the information provided here on this site is free of charge.

To make an analogy in the Computer world, I am taking an Open Source approach such as Linux and offering a service for free. I will at times, however, use the Microsoft approach if I plan to copy something :)
