A Thank You

No Charity Love?
It used to be you could sign up to run a marathon, pay your fee and trot through your 26.2 worrying only about your miles. Now, the game has changed. It’s all about charity. You cannot simply run a marathon anymore, mainly because it’s become harder and harder to get in one. So many races [...]

Beyond their PBs, many [...]

In the online fitness world of late, this particularly applies to personal trainers, as each of them vie for their corner of the market, striving to [...]
Sports Star Salute: Nadia Comaneci
One sport little girls will flock to watch in droves on TV is gymnastics. We all want to be able to do the twirly thing with the ribbon and heck, I still wanna be able to back flip my way out of a conversation or throw down on the monkey bars at a playground. When [...]
Cyclrexic: Body Image in Cycling
*Disclaimer: While I am adamant about not covering anything to do with weight loss on this site (determined as I am to shift the conversation and focus surrounding women and fitness), I am also conscious of the importance of a real and open dialogue surrounding body image and issues that affect active women.
