Drinking water vs absorbing water
Most people probably drink too little water. They kill their thirst with some sort of bottled or canned alternative containing either none or lots of calories. Steering somewhat clear of that discussion I will focus on the ones who actually do turn to water whenever they feel thirsty and only uses the bottled and canned […]

Sprinting – The art of the start – The first few steps
This will by no means be a full description of block starts, that will be beyond the scope of this post, but I will instead focus on the first few steps you take out of the blocks as they are some of the most important steps and sets you up for the rest of the […]

Surely you’re joking Mr. Feynman!
I’ve had this book on my shelf for quite some while. I actually started reading it while in Dublin on a business trip some 6-8 months ago – got very amused by it, but at the time I was in the midst of two other books so had to leave it for some while and […]

Dan Ariely on delayed gratification
Predictably Irrational is one of the most entertaining books on psychology you will ever read. I read it several years ago and absolutely loved it. I have even written about it before here: Books on psychology and decisions but just stumbled on this awesome presentation by Dan Ariely from a Ted conference. Please do watch […]

“Nailing” perfect sprint technique; high knee, quick recovery and toes up with one simple tip
I absolutely do not consider myself an expert on sprinting as it, at least by track & field terms, is not something I have done my entire life.

Intermittent fasting and meal/macro periodization
As I have written many times before, I am a long time follower of intermittent fasting(IF). So long that I have even forgot when I actually started, but probably like 6 years ago. My take on IF is a 16/8 approach – 16 hours without any calories and only black coffee, tea and water, and […]
