Some minor updates of note

I've updated my Go Juice entry http://fellrnr.com/wiki/Fellrnr%27s_Go_Juice and nutrition timing http://fellrnr.com/wiki/Nutrient_Timing as well as modifying my ‘training load’ graph at http://fellrnr.com/wiki/Overtraining

Central Governor Theory

I created a wiki entry on the Central Governor Theory http://fellrnr.com/wiki/Central_Governor_Theory as part of my work on Overtraining and Motivation.

VDOT calculator and Jack Daniels Long Runs

Major update to VDOT calculator. I've added generation of the long runs required for two of the Jack Daniel's Marathon plans, Plan A and the Elite plan. These plans are quite tricky to work out by hand, especially the elite plan, so this should make life easier for anyone who wants to evaluate or use the Jack Daniel's system. In addition I've added more support for metric units and added the 3200M pace for the FIRST system. Check it out and let me know what you think http://fellrnr.com/wiki/VDOT_Calculator

Overtraining and Overtraining Syndrome

I've created a new section on my wiki for Overtraining and Overtraining syndrome. I believe that there is insight into effective training to be found from understanding Overtraining, as well as the obvious value in preventing Overtraining problems. Over the last few months of studying the research on Overtraining I've accumulated a lot of information, so I’ve added over a dozen new pages to make things easier to digest. A good starting point is either http://fellrnr.com/wiki/Overtraining or http://fellrnr.com/wiki/Overtraining_Syndrome and other major pages include:

Pre-taping your feet

A friend asked me recently about taping your feet before an ultramarathon (pre-taping), so I've updated my page on taping to give some more specific advice in this area. http://fellrnr.com/wiki/Taping

Oops - fellrnr.com outage!

The server ran out of disk space yesterday and had to be restarted. I have my dropbox account on the server for backups and file sharing (it’s great for both purposes and I don’t know how I survived without it). However, the server had only been allocated 4 Gb of space and dropbox replicates 2Gb free, so I blew things up. Lesson learned! BTW, if you don’t use dropbox yet, please use this referral link http://db.tt/7mzrgCR when you sign up and we both get an extra 250Mb.
