Computers make it easier to do a lot of things, but most of the things they make it easier to do don’t need to be done.

How fast can you run?
January 30, 2009 by Mr Bimble · Leave a Comment
As runners we all have an interest in measuring our fitness. One way to do this is to measure out a 100 meters and then see how quickly you can cover that distance. In an article on the BBC web site readers are then invited to compare their time against the following figures: 15.4 seconds for men and 17.3 for women. These might not seem to be particular tough targets, (except for runners like Guthrie) even though they are far from the current world records of 9.69 and 10.49. But then consider that these were the slowest 100m sections covered in the respective Olympic 1500m finals last summer! Research following the Beijing Games has shown that every athlete in both those races ran 14 further 100m stretches faster than those times, and without a break! Read more

40th Tradition Run
January 18, 2009 by Bounce · 2 Comments
Gretchen, Snobody and I participated in the 40th Annual Tradition Run at Hubbard Park in Meriden today. The race, or un-race, as they call it starts at the base of East Peak in Hubbard Park and winds around a reservoir and up to Castle Craig at the top of East Peak. The way up is approxiametly 5K and you have the option of taking a ride down or making it a 10K. We all ran back down and enjoyed conversation on the much easier return trip. The trip up and down is on roads, but they were snow covered and made for slow going. This is a great place for hill repeats, if you are so inclined. No pun intended. Read more
