    Astroturf sled track

    Hi guys, I am thinking of buying a roll of astroturf to lay down on a rubberised floor in the gym downstairs to run sleds on. Anyone know how best to secure it to the ground? Does it even need securing to the ground? Would some strong tape run around the edge be good enough? The stuff i am...

    PT's in Parks

    You see P.T.'s in public Parks all the time now. They all seem to be getting their Clients to do a Circuit type program ie. Medicine Ball lifts and throws, Bands, Push Ups, Abs and other stuff. It seems to me that they are just targeting the ill-informed and running/starting a Business that...

    Dr Karl: Why do ponytails swing when we run?

    There's a lot of maths — and a bit of astronomy — behind the sideways swing of a ponytail. If you go for a run, your head bobs up and down a little bit as you move forward. But if you've got a ponytail, something weird happens. As you run forward, and your head bobs up and down, the ponytail...

    Powerlifting shoes - where to try and buy in melbourne?

    Previously I've only worn runners when training, so obviously I've never bought any before. So because some brands will fit my feet better than others, I need to try some before handing over any cash. Is this actually possible in Melbourne?

    Strength Runner

    Last year I trained for the Melbourne Marathon and have to say now that I did actually enjoy running, whilst I have never been good at it and being larger, I was slow but enjoyed getting out there hitting the pavement/grass. The issue I had was my weight being over 100kg's. Since that venture...
