sucks about the heat.

running distance in the heat absolutely sucks. i've come to hate it tbh.. I don't think I mind short sprints in the heat though.


as for the bus.. you had to walk all the way home?

Wait til winter comes and you'll be missing the heat. I'd prefer to run in hot and dry weather than cold and wet.

400m Sprinting or Shorter / Re: Kim Collins apparently lifts weights

He attributes yoga towards his long athletic lifespan as well. Being flexible would logically help in the avoidance of muscle tears and strains. In one of Michael Johnson's books he talks about how he always used to get injured a lot and it wasn't until he took gym work and stretching (stretching in particular) seriously and accomodating time for it, that his body started becoming more resiliant and injury-free.

A 4 plate row is solid!
Most people can row a similar amount to their bench press so it's not surprising that you're rowing more than most of the big benchers at your gym (doubt there's many people benching 3-4 plates at the average gym).

Japan took Silver in the Mens 4x100m  :o
I didn't see them beating the USA or Canada, but it was an impressive effort. Jamaica won the Gold so no shocks there.

Edit- The USA came 3rd but they have now been DQ'd.

If bolt goes sub 19 then he is doing the best job pretending he isn't fit ever... If he goes sub 19 he needs to jump in a 400m! 

I don't think he will this year.  I think he will cruise in sub 19.5 and win but I just don't see it... Next year I think he may... I hope I'm wrong though!

Yeah I see Bolt running 19.5/19.6 based on his 100. I'm not sure if Bolt will even run next year. I'd love to see him try and break his own 200m WR before retiring, but with his back issues he might retire.

LMAO i have a strong prejudice against olympic swimming because of the australian obsession with the 'sport' .. even worse than acole i think, cos I dont even try to be balanced about it. bolt all the way. However, i love the idea of comparing athletes .. who is the greatest of all time? Who even makes the top 5? Does Lebron make the cut?

damn .. why'd you have to bring lebron into this? lulz.



from an article LBSS linked on fb:



sick!@@!$

That was an epic performance. Atm everybody is caught up in the Bolt hysteria so the performance has been overshadowed, but in the future people will look back and realise just how incredible that 400m was. Wayde is a young sprinter as well so there is still plenty of potential for him to break his own WR.

Can't wait for the 200m now!!!

Phelps is the greatest Olympian of all time (23 Gold medals) but Bolt is definitely a better athlete. Everyone can run, and it doesn't matter whether you are in China, Russia, Ivory Coast or the US etc. You don't need any special equipment and it doesn't require any specialized skills. It is the purest form of performance. Even if people wanted to make a counter-argument that anybody can swim I think you'd just need to look at the various sports Phelps and Bolt could excel at and you'd chose Bolt over Phelps for your football and basketball team any day of the week over Phelps. I don't really like comparing them though because they are both masters at their chosen sports.
