Best of Internets

Short and sweet here are the five best things I found on the internet this week, that are relevant obviously.

#1 http://runwithmark.wordpress.com/2011/01/19/diet-tips-for-endurance-athletes/
The whole run with mark site is pretty motivating. I picked this article because it reinforces the eating view I have, which we're going to discuss on Monday with reference to a pair of great recipes for the time conscious and flavor conscious runner.

#2 http://www.runnersforum.co.uk/
If your in the UK get on there. They have a great Wednesday weigh in that I'm going to make regular use of as well as forums on everything from kit to tactics to nutrition. The community seems amazing with everyone chipping in positive reinforcement as well as quality snippets of advice.

Some of the workouts are a little off the wall (read hard) for me but I plan about two weeks in advance so I can work the good ones in. If your stuck for some cross training sessions or just want to add variety go have a look see if may be worth it.

I'm looking at going to my first session next week. I can never motivate myself enough to do a proper combined session like this. It does have a price tag comparable with low end gym membership but it looks great. I'll let you know next week what I think.

It's a Zumba video. All week Elle has been trying to get me to go with her to some Zumba somewhere and have the workout replace one of our sessions. It looks like step or combined cardio to me, which is great, but sadly it looks both difficult and a little out there, especially when your feet as as far left as mine are. I encourage everyone who can dance to give it a look though because I can see how it would be good with the right instructor. It's important to have fun with it right?

That is it. If your doing your long run tomorrow or training for a distance event check out http://www.marathontalk.com/ as well. Tomorrow is Hill Starts for me but I probably won't make a post until Monday.If you want to keep up to date follow me on Twitter.
