The Return of Doug Logan
Doug Logan may
be long gone from the USATF, but his pen lives on. His previous Blog, Shin
Splints, was well received not only in the USA, but around the English speaking
world.
I am proud to announce every Thursday Doug is writing on
SpeedEndurance. His topics will vary between Track and Field, Health &
Fitness, and life challenges for those over 65.
You can read his past 4 installments
here, including his latest take on performance enhancing drugs.
Rome Golden Gala Highlights
For my 5th consecutive year (have I lived in Rome that long?), I try to cover
the Rome Golden Gala in a way that you can’t get from other online media.
I
have a collection of videos on SpeedEndurance TV and articles on the Blog
that range from pre-race interviews to Why
Usain Bolt Lost the 100 meters. (I was there at his press conference and I
was shaking my head in disbelief at his excuse, but I admire his honesty... we'll see his 200m in Oslo!)
Bud Winter Spring Sale
Nice ring to it, eh? Now you can get 25% off any Bud Winter books by using the coupon
code SPRING25 until the last day of spring, June 21 at midnight. This only
applies to purchases made through the website and not through Amazon.
Relax and
Win continues to sell very well and is one of the most important books in
sport performance. His secret does not involve powders or drugs… 100% natural
willpower and mind power... you just have to train your mind.

SpeedEndurance TV – Do Elite Hurdlers use Risers in Spikes?
Two weeks ago, I did a short video for SpeedEndurance TV if you can run faster with risers or crowns in track spikes? Someone suggested it was good for hurdlers to get more lift. In this video, I asked four 110mH hurlders… Aries Merritt, David Oliver, Antwon Hicks, and Mark McKoy if they use risers [...]

Curve Running – The Ultimate Guide
Here are 5 good articles and papers regarding running the curve in Track & Field. I am referring to Lane 1 or Lane 8, 200m indoor tracks vs outdoor tracks, flat tracks vs banked tracks. If you think that is bad, check out a track that has 19 laps to a mile! (an 84 meter [...]

Using the EMS for Training
Here is a quick video on how training can be used with the EMS. As a full disclosure, you can never replace speed or strength training with your actual event-specific discipline (i.e sprinting fast to run fast), thus the EMS is used to “top up” on your training. However, when you have to miss a [...]

Should Sprinters Do Long Runs?
I know I am digging up skeletons from the closet, but a recent article in Spikes Mag brought up a few bad memories. You’ve heard the myths out there. One camp says sprinter should NOT do long runs as it would develop the slow twitch fibers and make you slower. There is no direct transfer [...]
