Ultra-runner and fitness promoter Dean Karnazes completed that crazy adventure of 50 marathons in 50 days back in 2006 while trying to inspire others to get off the couch and move the body. Most probably thought he was a nut (aren’t all endurance athletes) but I bet there are a good number exercising today thanks […]

The film follows four top professional Ironman triathletes (Peter Reid, Lori Bowden, Heather Fuhr, and Luke Bell) for a complete season as they work their way towards the Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii. It is more a behind […]

Many times we tell ourselves and others that we can’t do this or that. I am going to say 99.9% of the time, that is total garbage.
Check out the video of this 13 year old girl that chose to run a 50 mile trail race with her mother. I wonder how many others said she […]

Do you have running shoes that you don’t use anymore? Would you like to help people of all ages around the world?
I found this neat organization a couple days ago.

ESPN put together a wonderful piece covering the life of U.S. marathoner Ryan Shay who unexpectedly passed away while running at the Olympic trials in New York City last November.
I had not followed Ryan’s career before this event but a few things caught my attention from this video (besides the loss of such a young […]

Ryan Hall provided the world another glimpse into what he is made off. This video from GodTube follows along with one of his key workouts in preparation for the London marathon, a nice little 24 mile run with some impressive tempo work.
Ryan’s physical abilities are quite inspiring but what impresses me the most is his […]

I was able to watch most of the Hawaii Ironman coverage on Saturday and thought the pro race coverage was decent. I always would love to see more but that is what the live Internet coverage is for. The NBC show is created for a much greater audience than just a small percentage of endurance […]
