Here’s some food for thought: the slower you run, the longer you live.
That’s a finding from a new study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, which concluded that people who run on a regular basis—consistently, but slowly—have a longer lifespan than those who are out pushing it to the line every time. The people who...

This morning Pro-Triathlete Andy Potts posted something about how you need to love to train.

RACINE 70.3 RACE REPORT - 1. About 30 minutes before race start they told us not to walk down the beach to the swim start. We were soon told the race would be delayed until at least 9:30 and to go seek shelter due to an incoming storm. While this was unfortunate I can say that the storm was intense with torrential downpours and I was happy not to be out on the bike when that rolled in.
2. The race was changed to a duathlon, completely cutting the swim, a bike shortened to 31.5 miles and the full run and we’d start at 10:20. I had gone back to my hotel to stay...
