Anyone have any philosophy books on their reading list? Is anyone a fan of Nietzsche; if so, favourite books, quotes or aphorisms?

Hi guys, I'm a soccer player and I really need to start eating much better, the thing is I'm very lax unless I have something planned out for me. Can anyone give me a list of meals that I can cook for myself in order to keep myself fuelled for games/traini...

Try some quinoa with ground turkey and veges, as a 'different' sort of meal. Very easy to prepare, and quinoa is very versatile yet digests relatively easily. Quinoa is the grain with the highest ratio of both protein and fat of any others, so it's not just...

Which fabrics are best? Technical, sweat-wicking fabrics are optimum for workout clothing. They literally ‘wick’ the sweat away from your body, allowing it to travel to the outside of your clothes where it evaporates, keeping the body dry.  Sweaty Betty ru...

Do you wear items from the range? Are they expensive?

What should I expect? One of the best forms of aerobic exercise, running improves fitness levels, raises stamina, strengthens muscles and burns fat. As you start to run, you begin to breathe more quickly and deeply as the heart beats faster to provide much...

Hi all! I want to do an Ultra, and am just starting my journey.  I need to learn more about them and am hoping you guys will have some tips for me.  I am going to start reading up on them to learn what I need to know as well. I am going to read "Relentless...

I appreciate that it is November in Maine, but this morning I ran down at our local bike path (at about 7am)  and I noticed that everyone down there (jogging, biking, dog walking, just walking) were older... the youngest being in there 60's rangist to some...

I am a birdwatcher and always notice the birds on my run. Today on a trail run I saw Blacksmith Plovers, lots of longtail widows, egyptian geese and weavers.

I have found in the last week or so that the Pearl Jam album 'Live on 10 legs' or 'The Ultimate Best Of" have been a great motivation and soundtrack for my running.

Great choice!

First snow this morning. Very quiet, serene. I stared out the window, quietly for a long time. Snow, clouds, a bit of fog, mountains in the distance. Nice. Got that feeling a few weeks ago at the top of ben nevis walking in the snow covered mou...

Hi there, Im new to the Tribe, thanks for having me. I do pole gym and climbing, although my first love is white water kayaking.  Unfortunately, I have a stomach ulcer and can't eat large quantities of food at a time.  This means that I quite often run out...

Im a big fan of carbs the night before an event or big run, with a sports drink an hour before the run.  Its a simple plan which seems to work a treat.

nice review - I have a pair, done about 300 miles in them and they are as good as new (without the monkey grip) and i havent found anything yet more enjoyable to run in.

Dont forget to tally up the minutes you plank for between midnight (friday) and midnight (saturday) lets see if together we can get a record going.

Newest reply

My completed tally as im not going to plank again tonight is a total of 1 hour 30 mins during the past 23 hours. compising of standard plank on elbows, standard plank on hands, side plank both sides. You are a machine!  Way to go!!!

What should I expect? A marathon is 26.2 miles of repetitive running. Your legs need to be strong, your heart needs to be stronger and you need to be able to go the distance! For the most part you are working your aerobic energy system, which allows you t...

I haven't (yet) run further than a 10k race but I would say that you need to experiment with Gels/jelly babies etc before an event to make sure you "get on" with them ok.  I tried one Gel on a training run and didn't notice any benefit but did have a slig...
