"The man who can drive himself further once the effort gets painful is the man who will win."
Roger Bannister

I did not know there was such a thing but there is - The ElliptiGo World Championships

While I would call how I eat LCHF (Lower Carb Higher Fat) it might be better to refer to the fat portion as "Right Fat" - Dr. Maffetone explains this as it is not necessarily high but as I put Higher in relationship to most people's view of intake and thus right for you

Kilian had planned to go for the 24hr Track Record but looks likes that is off as he is injured

Local, to Kentucky, Races and Events (If you have a race in the area, including surrounding states, let me know and I will post about it)

Running groups are a great way to get to know people but also a great way to help you progress and get out and run.  If you are in the Elizabethtown KY area check out the Running Soles Group and if you are closer to Campbellsville check out the Campbellsville Running  Club.   Have another local running group in KY let me know and I will list it.

Check out these Race Companies for local races: Good Times Even Services & Central Kentucky Race Management.  For trail and Ultra races in Kentucky and Virginia check out Next Opportunity Events

Looking for other races around the world, here is where I get most of the ones I list: ahotuMarathons (covers the world), American Trail Running Assoc.  (Mostly US but does have other races on the list),  Running  in the USA & Trail Runner Magazine
