Training for General Health and Wellness – Q&A
Obviously folks wanting to change body composition (lose fat or gain muscle) or maximize strength gains have to put in a proportionally larger amount of training to reach their goals but my question is this: what if my goals are simply basic overall health and wellness? What type of overall training program would you recommend for that?
Fundamental Principles Versus Minor Details
As I’ve written about in a previous article How Detail Oriented Do You Need to Be, with the advent of the Internet (along with other forms of constantly running media) people are absolutely overwhelmed with information, much of it dealing with what can only be termed completely irrelevant details. That is, stuff that just isn’t likely to make an iota of difference to anything in the real world. I think the reason for this trend is that writing about the basics and the fundamentals all the time isn’t sexy or interesting. It certainly doesn’t sell magazines.
Methods of Endurance Training: Results Part 4
Having discussed my training immediately after the Texas Road Rash in Methods of Endurance Training: Results Part 3, I want to return to the realm of self-indulgent prattling and provide another detailed race report. This race was the Napa Inline Marathon in Napa Valley California where both a half-marathon (13.1 miles) and full marathon (26.2 miles) were being held with an open division for the half- and full along with the pro/elite division for the full marathon.
Methods of Endurance Training: Results Part 3
In any case, as some of you might have guessed, I was travelling to an inline race. So while I continue to put off doing a research review (it’s been months), I’ll do yet another update on my own endurance training including how I prepared for my second race of the year and how it turned out. Again, two parts with today discussing some physiology and training concepts and continuing Friday with another self-indulgent race report.
