I was astounded by the great Kenenisa Bekele's statement after losing out to a Kenyan clean sweep today in the Edinburgh International cross country athletics race. "I am not in good shape," he said, in an interview with BBC Sport. "I arrived three days before the race and I could not train because of the snow. I missed two or three training sessions."

Your need for correct fitness clothes is as equally important as your need for correct workout routines. Hard core or even light weight training makes it very important that you have the right fitness clothes and apparel for your workout. Would you lift heavy weights without a back brace? Would you lift heavy weights without wrist support? No! Would you run cross-country without shoes . . . well maybe? No!

Rayo Vallecano are finally in a position to dream of La Liga survival. Photograph: Javier Etxezarreta/EPA In the middle of Rayo Vallecano's dark days, when they'd been beaten 15 times in 20 games and the goals were flying in; when they'd let in five from Atlético Madrid, five from Málaga, five from Villarreal, four from Espanyol, four from Sevilla, four from Barcelona, three from Madrid, three from Osasuna, and three from Valladolid; when they plummeted to 19th and stayed there for 11 long weeks; when the only reason they didn't fall further was that Betis were even worse; when even a glimmer of hope, a 4-1 win over Málaga, immediately gave way to a six-goal hammering; and when relegation wasn't an "if" but a "when"; there was a phrase that got repeated over and over: Paco Jémez will die with his ideas. Paco Jémez, though, had other ideas. Not because Rayo's coach was going to back down on his principles - "any club that signs me knows what it's getting," he insisted - but because he didn't have any intention of dying at all. Even when Rayo were a disaster, Jémez had his defenders. Off the pitch, that is. Last season, only two teams in Europe had the ball more than Rayo did: Barcelona and Bayern Munich. Early this season, when Rayo played Barcelona, they had more possession than them, the first team to manage it in 316 games. They threw men into attack, they were fun to watch, and parading the touchline in a dizzying array of multicoloured elbow patches and waistcoats, pink shirts and purple ties, Jémez urged them forward, always. In a country that values the aesthetic, or in which some do, he was eulogised for the way his teams played de tú a tú: as equals. Rayo didn't simply defend - sometimes they didn't defend at all - but instead they went for it. And, mostly, they lost. Rayo took the ball off Barcelona and Jémez declared himself "very proud". But they were beaten 4-0. They went to the Camp Nou where they were praised by Barcelona's

We've always heard about skiers getting lost in the mountains and woods. Commonly on cross country skiing and snow mountaineering. Here are some safe tips before going in unfamiliar places:

While I hesitate to start this way, I do want to make it known that I am a former Division 1 cross country and track runner. This is not said to pump my own ego, but to show that I have a good knowledge base when it comes to running programs. After many weeks or research, I could not find a 10k running plan that actually works. For months, I scoured the internet, read running articles, magazines, and anything else I could get my hands on, but struggled to find a complete running program 5k or 10k. There were many running for beginners programs but nothing that was as complete as I was looking for. I wanted a 10k running program that was thorough and had all the information I was looking for. Each running schedule that I found, whether it be for a 10k or 5k seemed to missing something. Initially when I came out of mini-retirement, I decided that a 5k would be my first conquest, but I really wanted to train for a 10k. There are many things to look at when deciding on a 10k running plan. Length, experience level, and the results runners have gotten are all things to look at. While I understand that a running program for beginners is different than a 10k running program for advanced individuals, I wanted to make sure I got a plan that covered all the bases. When I finally thought I found a 10k running program I liked, there was something it was missing. A friend and former teammate finally referred me to RunLovin.com. Upon entering the site, it seemed like they had thorough content, but I still wasn't sold. Since there is a lot of free information on the internet, I thought, why should I pay for it? I signed up for sample program and got my answer. They emailed me a synopsis, and some actual wording from the purchased 10k running program. I was immediately impressed with how complete their program is. Although it was a 10k running schedule, they had information about shoes, nutrition, equipment, and injury prevention to name a few.
