Effect of pre-running stretching and reg
Posted by Pete McBreen
An acute bout (pre-running) of stretching does not improve force or jump height, and the results for running speed are contradictory. Regular stretching improves force, jump height, and speed, although there is no evidence that it improves running economy.
Conclusion – no need to do stretching before you go running, but you should be doing stretching regularly to keep yourself supple.

The men’s race was won in 59:25 by Deriba Merga, who went off too fast and slowed at the end;–)

Parkour or Free Running
Posted by Pete McBreen
The word “Parkour” is derived from the French “parcours” which roughly translates to “obstacle course”. Much like the term for a practitioner of parkour “Traceur” is formed from the Parisian slang “Tracer” which means “Hurry” and the actual French term “traceur” which means to “leave a trail”…
