WHY ALMOST EVERYTHING YOU’VE BEEN TOLD ABOUT UNHEALTHY FOOD IS WRONG
“Eggs and red meat have both been on the nutritional hit list – but after a major study last week dismissed a link between fats and heart disease, is it time for a complete rethink?“—Joanna Blythman for The Guardian
WHY RUNNERS CAN’T EAT WHATEVER THEY WANT
“As a 10-mile-a-day runner, Dave McGillivray thought he could eat whatever he wanted without worrying about his heart. “I figured if the furnace was hot enough, it would burn everything,” said McGillivray, who is 59.
But a diagnosis six months ago of coronary artery disease shocked McGillivray, a finisher of 130 marathons and several Ironman-distance triathlons. Suddenly he regretted including a chocolate-chip-cookie recipe in his memoir about endurance athletics.“—Kevin Helliker for The Wall Street Journal

Now that the open is FINALLY over I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude to both George and Lisa. I am an “athlete” ( and I use that term very lightly) who took somewhere between 70k and 80k in the world. Certainly posing no threat to anyone’s spot at regionals but George and Lisa coached an encouraged me as if I were Rich Froning at the games. It is a testament to their character and dedication to care so much about my fitness. So the least I can do is say THANK YOU.
