Do tattoos impact a runner's ability to sweat, that was what this study looked at.

The Falmouth Road Race was this past weekend and here is an article on it: 4th Title for Stephen Sambu

Michael Wardian is always doing something that makes one go wow.  Well he did it again as just about 6.5 - 7 hours after finishing the Leadville 100 in 10th overall (20:18:57) he went and finished the Pikes Marathon in 111th (6:02:55) and here is another article on his feat.

Devon Yanko's Leadville 100 Race Report

Floris Gierman writes on getting faster by running slower - this is not about plodding but realizing it is not all about running every run fast to get fast.  I can attest to running faster in the last couple years by dialing back how fast I train.  Sure I have hard runs but most of my runs, and even large segments, are slower than most I race against.
