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.

Lionel Messi beat Cristiano Ronaldo to take home the UEFA Best Player in Europe Award on Thursday. Handed out during the UEFA Champions League group stage draw, the Argentine superstar beat Ronaldo and Barcelona teammate Luis Suarez to take home the silverware. To decide the winner, 54 votes from European journalists were tallied up. Messi received 49 votes, while Suarez had 3 and Ronaldo 2. Messi had 58 goals and 28 assists last year for his club, while Ronaldo had 61 goals and 22 assists. It comes as no surprise that Messi won, as the attacking superstar led his club to the treble last season.

Well I kinda gave away what this post is about right off of the bat. We are all blessed or cursed (depends on how you see it) with a natural body type. This largely due to our genetics (thanks mom and dad) and is something that is pretty much irreversible. There are three different body types classified as Ectomorph, Endomorph and Mesomorph. For most of us, mesomorph is ideal and pretty much the entire reason we hit the gym week in and out. Although we cannot reverse the way we were born and decide to come out a mesomorph, can we change it?

Water polo is one of eight sports yet to have its funding for 2012 decided. UK Sport have said that no sport will be cast adrift -but with current funding levels water polo has already been drowned. Only sports which are 'competitive' will have a place in the Games but how can a team sport achieve the required standard with a budget that does not allow the current improvements in performance to continue?

How do tennis professionals like Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal manage not only to see, but estimate the speed and movement of the ball, before deciding how to play their shot? Are they born with the visuomotor systems to meet the "interceptive timing task requirements" of their sport, or can they be trained?

AFC Leopards have been fined Sh500,000 after the club fans caused the abandonment of their Kenyan Premier League game against Thika United a fortnight ago. The KPL Leagues and Competitions Committee also awarded two goals and three points to Thika United for the match that was abandoned in the 83rd minute. Thika were leading by a solitary goal by the time of abandonment. (READ: Fans disrupt AFC, Thika United league match) According to KPL Chief Executive Officer Jack Oguda, the committee found Leopards guilty of causing the abandonment of the game after their fans invaded the pitch before the end of the match. Referee Nassur Doka tried to restore normalcy but when it became clear it was becoming a security risk, he decided to call off the game. The chaotic Leopards fans engaged the police in running battles in and out of the Nyayo Stadium causing damage to private and public property. "The verdict is out and Leopards will have to pay Sh500,000 and forfeit the match. Thika United have been awarded the three points and a 2-0 win margin," said Oguda. The decision means Leopards remain 12th on the 16-team KPL log with 14 points from 13 matches after the league body opted not to dock the 13-time Kenyan champions points. Last week, Leopards Secretary General George Aladwa demanded that KPL awards the club three points claiming that Thika United, being the home team, failed to ensure there was enough security during the game. "Thika United were the home team, they should have provided enough security. Their players also refused to return to the field of play even after calm had been restored," said Aladwa. "We therefore demand that AFC Leopards be awarded the three points," he added.

अंतर्राष्ट्रीय क्रिकेट में भारतीय क्रिकेट टीम के कप्तान विराट कोहली की उपलब्धियों को देखते हुए दिल्ली एवं जिला क्रिकेट संघ (DDCA) ने फिरोजशाह कोटला स्टेडियम में एक स्टैंड का नाम कोहली के नाम पर रखने का फैसला किया है। बता दें कि फिरोजशाह कोटला के मैदान में दो स्टैंड पहले से ही दिल्ली के खिलाड़ी बिशन सिंह बेदी और मोहिंदर अमरनाथ के नाम पर हैं। लेकिन इन दोनों दिग्गजों के यह सम्मान अंतर्राष्ट्रीय क्रिकेट से संन्यास के बाद मिल था।
