Apologies for the parochial nature of this post but can anyone recommend any kung fu schools in or close to Derby in the UK ? Trained in Wing Chun and Tai Chi a long time ago but not limiting myself...

I honestly don't think there is a better way to lose weight than running - other than eating less of course. However it takes a while to get up to the standard where you can comfortably do a 90...

Any of you have an opinion on this - just something I came across.

There are different possible causes of shin pain. One is a stress fracture - unlikely though - does the pain get worse as you run?

I think another is the tendons being pulled away from the bone...

OK if you can do 9 miles in 8 minute miles that isn't bad at all - a minute a mile is a big difference though. You need to be able to maintain 8 minute miles for 26.2 miles and that is hard but if...

Sorry for being thick, I was born with a propensity for it, but what are andro supplements?

Stubbs, this is an interesting one.

Before giving you advice can I ask what your target it - sub 6 hours, sub 5, sub 4, sub 3, get round without walking ?

Also what is your current level of...

Yes it is possible to run as fast as you can for 3 m inutes - but by the end of those 3 minutes as fast as you can may well mean walking. Most runners that do this kind of training do not do...

The word it censors is f a r t l e k - it just means running fast for a period, then slower, then faster etc etc in one run.

Run for longer at a slower pace, 15 minutes is not really long enough, build up so you do one long run of 40 minutes minimum a week plus at least one run for half the time of your long run. Anyone...

To increase endurance for running, kicking or holding stances I suggest doing more running, kicking and more holding stances.

I use sand in mine and it seems fine - there are different types of sand of course - can't remember what I put in mine but I imagine it was something cheap from the local DIY store.

Yeah the further down you go the harder it is - but a lot of it is down to how much you weigh. I weigh 83kilos and can do sets of 15 pretty comfortably - if I weighed VTSs 115k then I couldn't. ...

I agree with whoever said getting a 9-5 job will make you into a day person - if you have kids that will help too. You will soon find that you are unable to keep awake much after midnight without...

Sorry to hear it has had that effect on your knees. Running for 30-40 minutes is actually quite a long time to start with. When you start running some injuries and pains are to be expected - but...

I think you need a deadlift platform/mat or something because you have to drop the bar after you have lifted it - so if you don't have one you can't do them - I may be wrong because I know **** all...

Yes certainly, email me and I'll give you my address to send the plane tickets and information about the hotel you'll be paying for. Nothing fancy - so long as its got 24 hour room service and a...

The latest running and fitness magazine (or maybe the one before) reckons that running on grass is not proven to be better for you than tarmac. I think that it must be though because running on a...

Yes the smell from sweat is caused by bacteria breaking down/eating the sweat - probably the waste products produced by that process.

Of course it is possible that you would smell because your...

If you under or over pronate then I think running on a soft surface can accentuate the degree to which that happens which is not good.

The up side is that it provides some cushioning in terms of...

I saw a documentary on the French Foreign Legion. They were at a notoriously tough training camp somewhere and said they had had a number of different militaries come down and try out their assault...

I often see people jogging, or even doing soccer training, in tops, tracksuit bototms or even jackets under the impression this is doing something for their fitness. I even remember Paul Gascoigne...

red5angel can I ask what kind of chi sao you have progressed to in your school. Are you doing free chi sao yet ?

Is sugar harmful in itself, apart from to your teeth?

I thought the reason we avoided sugary snacks was because they generally had very little nutritional value, whereas fruit does have...
