May 15, 2014 – Napping – I can remember while in college I always took a 1pm nap, and that nap was at the same time as my freshman year English class. Prof Miller asked me to remain after class early in the semester and the topic of our discussion was my napping. No problem he said, just sit in the back of the class. We won’t talk about my grade.

While in the army – coffee break – Marty was napping – smoke break – Marty was napping. This was a way to beat the Army, who’s MOI was the to keep us sleep deprived – I was always ready to go.

So, HERE is an article I found in Sports Illustrated that should more then convince you to work the necessary sleep breaks into your schedule each and every day, so you can be the most efficient athlete all day long when training and racing.

Core – maybe nothing new here, but all good stuff – take a look.

Concussions – Every athlete needs to know about this, as they have become an important element in all sports. In a non-contact sport like ours it would be easy to pass off a fall where you get up whoozy and have a headache the next day – you have  now experienced a concussion, most likely. It is your responsibility to get professional help to sort it out – BE SMART. Read this CCC article here.

Legkov Motivation – Let this video confirm what you are doing in your training is the right stuff and that Legkov is just the guy to motivate you this summer.

Strength from Sweden – Love these guys, although I knew some of this stuff in the early 70s – hope there are some new ideas here for you.

Talk to you soon!
