I am going to try to start up a post I used to do on my running blog (Bluegrass Runner) that was called The Weekly Run Down. But to start it will be a Bi-Weekly rundown - well that is the goal - as just don’t have the time and this way I can collect interesting, well interesting to me, posts, results and other things I find during the previous two weeks. That said if I can get organized it may end up being weekly again at some time. One difference is unlike my old posts that focused on running these will focus on much more as my blog is about Endurance, Health and Nutrition.
So here is the first one to start and will be a shorter one:
Can’t help but start with Jim Walmsley finally getting the win at UTMB on his fifth try and having moved to Europe to focus on getting this win. Also, Courtney Dauwalter finished of an awesome summer after wins at Western States and Hardrock by also winning the women’s race at UTMB
It was a big day (9/2/23) in Europe with not only Americans winning UTMB as we also saw American Sepp Kuss take over the lead in the Vuelta de Espana after a win a couple days before in Stage 6 and finishing with the leaders on Stage 8
The last two weeks or so have been full of great track and field with the Worlds from Budapest and then a week later a Diamond league from Zurich and Shenzhen, China.
Here is the Chicago Marathon elite field - as well as here is an update
The 2023 NYC Marathon Elite fields are announced
I have been dealing with some foot issues and in looking for some good exercises to do I came across these videos from Kit Laughlin and will be using the ones for the feet for sure - especially this one
I also, and shared this else where and have listened to some podcast by bike fitter and coach Colby Pierce on Spiral Twist and these are well worth a listen and watch:
Cycling in Alignment Podcast page with links to various podcast mediums
Youtube Channel
Talk with Bike Fitter Neill Stanburry - talks much on Asymmetry
Part 1 on Spiral Twist - Asymmetry
Part 2 on Spiral Twist
Part 3 on Spiral Twist
YouTube video on exercises in Part 3
While this is not on sports it does deal with health and to be your best in sport you need to be healthy - even if many that excel may be fit they are not healthy. I also shared these elsewhere but if you want to really stretch your mind and have time - these are not short podcasts - these two podcasts with Dr. Jack Kruse and Andrew Huberman are great, I am for sure checking out what Dr. Kruse has to say and share:
Part 1
Part 2
Kare Sabbe gets the Supported Pacific Crest Trail FKT

Coming up this week on Sept 9th - The Xterra European Trail Run Championships
I have written on this with regards to looking at the pros and this is a good article on this subject as the vast majority of people who ride, and this applies to running, are not pros - Don’t Fuel Like a Pro! What You Can Learn from the Tour de France.
