Updated ? Heat Acclimation Training

It’s the time of year when the weather will start warming up, which will slow all of us down. I’ve started my heat training, and so I’ve taken the opportunity to update my Wiki entry on heat acclimation training. I’ve found some new research that indicates that heat acclimation training also improves cold weather performance, something that goes against conventional wisdom. I’ve added some extra cautions, and some details of the heat suit approach I use.

I've updated my comparison of marathon training plans to include Pfitzinger;s 'advanced marathoning' and I've also added a matrix how suitable I think the plans are for different types of runners. Let me know what you think.

Anticancer

Like many people, my life has been scarred by cancer, and over the years I have come to both fear and hate cancer. I’ve lost both parents to cancer, and it’s a horrific fate. So when a friend recommended the book 'Anticancer' I was intrigued. I found the book well researched, well written and well worth reading. It’s given me an increased sense of control, empowerment and hope.

I’ve put together a brief synopsis of the book, which I hope will prove useful and perhaps encourage you to pick up a copy. Even more, I hope that you will be able to embrace some the lifestyle changes that will improve your health and chances of avoiding or beating the evil blight. For me, I’ve finally made the move to Organic milk and started to do more meditation.
