div style="text-align: left;"Near the end of last week we did a similar test to the double pole machine on the treadmill. Scott found a treadmill at Pete Dickenson's Winthrop Physical Therapy that would rise to a 15-20% grade. The goal was to find o...
This morning I worked out with Piotr Bednarski’s Go-Training group for 3 hrs total counting my time rolling from home. I rolled to practice, played Ultimate Frisbee with the kids and then went on a 1:45hr classic ski with Gordon, Ben and Ben, and finished by rolling home. Great workout and lots of fun!

Nathaniel HerzJune 26, 2009

FasterSkier caught up with him just after he finished his afternoon massage at a National Team camp in Canmore. FS: You’re out in Canmore right now training with the National Team.

FIS has released the complete event schedule for the 2011 Nordic World Championships in Oslo, Norway.
The New York Times health blog “Well” recently posted a piece on core strength, and the potential risks to the back. Many standard core practices are called into question, and Stuart McGill, a highly regarded professor of spine biomechanics at the University of Waterloo in Canada and a back-pain clinician, provides some sample exercises that are “back-friendly.”
Off and Running
coryJune 26, 2009
Today I went for my first run since tearing my Achilles tendon in March. Actually, it was my first run since November. It was the most pathetic run ever - twenty minutes on a track at a 15 minute mile pace - but it was a big step in my rehabilitation. The biggest revelation for me during my injury layoff has been how much I love running.
