WOMEN OF ENDURANCE: Keira Henninger - Breathe Magazine - Ignite Adventure, Endure the Sport
"To me this is the key to being successful at any sport. It's not about making the time. It's about making it the only thing you have time for. I believe the difference between the top athletes and the average athletes all comes down to time. When I focus, and get ready for a 100-mile race, nothing else really matters for those 8-12 weeks leading up. Certain people and close friends have said I go into hiding. Sounds weird, but it's just the facts. I don't go out, I don't stay up late, and it's really nothing more than getting up day after day when that alarm goes off at 4 am and putting in the work. If you want anything bad enough you find a way to make the time.

The Science of Sport: The Armstrong fallout: Thoughts and theories
The problem is, if you choose to believe Armstrong, that it's a witch-hunt, then you are also a conspiracy theorist, because the only way you can explain all the witnesses who are willing to testify is to say that they are part of a massive conspiracy against him. One that spans the Atlantic Ocean, includes former team-mates, journalists, doctors, administrators, soigneurs, strangers and mechanics. A few people are "easy" to dismiss - Landis and Hamilton are not credible, that's easy. But if USADA had ten more lined up, it becomes more and more difficult to dismiss.

THE ENDS AND MEANS OF LANCE « Toni Reavis
Who is at fault? Lance is not the culprit here. He was just playing the game as he found it upon arrival. Neither is USADA CEO Travis Tygart the bad guy. We are. We want it both ways, citius, altius, fortius, but pure as the driven snow. We are addicted to sports. And the first thing any addict needs to do is admit the addiction. Fair play is not within the realm of an addict.

The (almost) Magical Foam Roller | Running Times Magazine
Experienced runners get different injuries than beginners. Beginners are famous for shin splints and runner's knee. Long-time runners work for their injuries. The most common injuries seen in experienced runners are muscle knots or "trigger points". These injuries start as very minor micro-tears. Next, a repetitive tear-and-repair cycle causes a know or a trigger point to develop. The runner then starts to experience pain and stiffness in the area. Common trouble spots include: the front and back of the thighs, the deep hip region, and the outside of the thigh, known as the IT Band.

Cycling Myths That Are Actually Kind of True: Exercise at a Low Intensity to Burn Fat | Biking Fitness Plans and Advice | OutsideOnline.com
Elite cyclists become world beaters by spending a high percentage of their training time at “endurance” intensity, says kinesiologist Dr. Stephen S. Cheung of Brock University and co-author of Cutting Edge Cycling. “A critical physiological adaptation for cyclists is sparing glycogen during long rides. This cannot be trained with short intense rides that rapidly drain glycogen stores.” Endurance-paced rides also train your body to be a better fat burner by building hundreds of thousands of capillaries in your legs, increasing the size of energy-producing mitochondria, and boosting production of fatty-acid binding proteins and fat carrying enzymes. Long steady rides also teach you pacing and condition your body (and mind) to be comfortable on the bike for hours, says Cheung.

Is It Possible to Change My Muscle Type? | Fitness Coach | OutsideOnline.com
THE BOTTOM LINE: Yes, you can change your muscle fiber type to become a better endurance athlete or sprinter. Researchers are still debating how much you can change through training, and whether or not the changes occur purely within the categories of slow and fast fibers (e.g. fast twitch to super fast twitch), or across slow twitch and fast twitch fibers.
