Just a couple of quick hits I noticed the other day...
First, UM grad and former walk-on to the track team, Nicole Hunt wrote an article for the March issue of Running Times magazine.. It's about running-specific drills that will improve performance. She is not only an accomplished athlete in her own right, she is a coach. Her website: http://www.speedendurance.net/
If that's not enough to get you to buy the magazine on newsstands, maybe the gal on the cover will. Her name is Stephanie Herbst-Lucke. She has the nicest bod of any 43-year-old woman I've ever seen and she runs faster than a lot of women in their 20's. Actually she's probably one of the ten fastest women in the country of any age, period. (For those of you not familiar with endurance athletes, let's just say, not many of them have the, ahem, "qualities" that would land them an invite on GB's yacht. This gal does.)
Running Times hasn't got the cover shot on their web site yet, but I found this in a newspaper article: http://buckhead.lps2.com/LargeImageWindow.lasso?-token.largeimage=/placedimages/c230C1lKm20736D0.lg.jpg
Anyway, Nicole wrote a very good article and I'm even thinking I should email her about her coaching rates as I'm injuried and not recovering the way I'd like. My big race in San Diego is in jeopardy.
Second, former Butte boy Levi Leipheimer is mentioned with a good dose of respect in espn.com's article on Lance Armstrong's return to cycling. Levi took second place in last year's Spanish Vuelta behind teammate Alberto Contador and, in my opinion, is good enough to have a team built around holding his water. But I digress.. They give Levi scant, but good mention in an article that picks over the usual stuff about Armstrong that we've all heard before. He also gets a mention in a Guardian (UK) article.
