A Review Of Fasil’s New York City Marathon
While many of you cheered on Fasil from home as he raced and finished the New York City Marathon, I can say that both of us, Fasil and myself, limped away unhappy with the ultimate outcome, a 2-hour 30...

Check out the video just posted of Fasil at lunch in New York City the day before the marathon.
Some of you might be surprised by what he eats, how much he eats and how often. For an explanation scroll back to my earlier blog on diet and exercise.
Too much coaching and not enough time have limited my own fitness goals. Starting this week at least 20:00 everyday. That's a start for me!

Hey Twit2Fit!
As we head into the last week before Fasil's race, the New York City Maratahon's US National Championship Sunday, November 1st, I wanted to give you a little insight into what kind of training he has udnertaken.
Check out the video...
In this video blog, Fasil's coach Scott Simmons discusses the training strategy they employed to target the specific demands of the marathon
This is a concept that, once explained to me me by a dietary researcher, made a lot of sense. As a coach I first look for the physiological reasons for the changes I want to see in my athletes. In other words, why is this healthy and natural.
I have heard about eating smaller meals throughout the day, but never heard why. Great explanation and analogy!
Really appreciate your support Fasil, I hope to learn a lot about fitness from you.
Awesome info, Scott. It's nice to see the juxtaposition between the two extremes. And thanks for the iPod app recco, too!
On the face of it, the training of an elite marathoner would seem like an extreme example of fitness training. But not only are there similarities between what an athlete like Fasil undertakes and the fitness and health goals of normal people, but...

A couple of years ago I got a call from the Heart and Stroke foundation. A lovely man was on the other end, and asked quite apologetically if I would be able to canvas for them that year (in February). The routes were very small, he assured me, a...
