Per Aagaard of the Danish Institute of Sports Sciences and Clinical Biomechanics recently lectured at the High Performance Centre in Birmingham. The most interesting part of day involved his findings showing that tendon loading via targeted resistance training may enhance injury resilience.

Conditions seem to be shaping up nicely for this ski season and no doubt, many of you have booked your annual week away on the slopes. However, there is always the nagging feeling in the back of your mind that it may be cut short due to injury.

Active stretching refers to a type of flexibility aimed at increasing the functional movement of the muscles. It relates to the distance you can actively move your limbs and stretch your muscles during a movement. It is different from traditional stretching (static stretching) because you are not holding the postures for any duration nor using any external object for support but your own muscle strength.

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.

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.
