Humans have long looked at bird flight with wonder but a new study raises the level of awe to a new height. My colleague, Bob Gill and his co-workers attached miniature satellite tracking devices to a shorebird known as the bar-tailed godwit on their Alaskan breeding grounds. The vast open Pacific lay between them and the south Pacific winter grounds. The birds fed voraciously in Alaska

There are some fighters who can run for miles and miles without getting tired. They are very fit with great muscular endurance. During the course of a fight however, some don’t seem to be able to last more than two minutes without losing stamina or “gassing” as it is now commonly referred to in the MMA world. This is mainly due to the fact that when fighting or sparring, you are constantly

In those days, traveling ten miles away was considered to be a great trek, so to find themselves thousands of miles from home was considered to be the beginning of the end for the people of that tragic Jewish community.For generations they had lived in a Promised Land, serving a God who protected them. For centuries, this faithful community had believed itself to be invincible, just like their god, so w

We ask him to strengthen you by his glorious might with all the power you need to patiently endure everything with joy. ~~ Colossians 1:11 Almighty God, who has given me the desire to do right and helped me to do your service, strengthen me to persevere. Give me the endurance to serve you, and perform my duties. When I am weary in my good efforts, remind me that the ways of sin are pathways to destruction. In my darkness of discouragement, give me the light of your presence. Your Word tells us that, “he who endures to the end shall be saved.” Help me to endure and not fall from your grace. I ask in Jesus’ name. Amen.

After sparring for a certain amount of time, or a certain number of rounds, you WILL eventually get tired. Weather its after 9 minutes or 90 it will happen. This is one of the best times that you can learn and become a more wiser fighter. When you get tired, you become sloppy. Your guard drops, legs straighten, your mouth opens to breath more, showing a sign of weakness to your opponent, and every technique is performed slower than you ever thought was possible. If your a big guy who can bench press 200 kilos ten times, that wont matter because you wont have any energy to use that strength. This is where a fighter learns to rely on SKILL. Because you cant move fast, and each thrown technique is a great challenge, you must pick certain times to attack. You start to look for openings in your opponents guard, weaknesses in his/her defence, specific times when to release your very scarce energy. When you were fresh you were probably attacking combination after combination hoping that one

Many of you were entranced with the story of Finn training for his first full-length triathlon, especially when an innocent whiff of sexuality reared its head: the presence of a girl, whose entry into the race prompted Finn to scoff at the idea of participating in the event as part of a relay team.  If Allie was going to swim 600 yards, bike 16 miles and run 3 miles by herself, Finn wasn’t going to let the fact that she’d be ahead of him and he’d be staring at her rear the entire race deter him from doing the same.  That may have been a motivating factor, actually. You’ll remember that once Finn decided to compete, Bill decided to devote his spare time to coaching Finn through his training, sacrificing his own participation in the race. At first the training was hardly noticeable.  Bill and Finn would get up early to swim or run; on the weekends they’d take a long bike ride. As the race drew nearer, their sessions grew longer.  I was able to overlook

SOBRE LA EXPEDICIÓN DE SHACKLETON A LA ANTÁRTIDA.Hace tres veranos, en Dublín, tuve la oportunidad de contemplar en uno de los museos de la ciudad y casi por casualidad, una exposición sobre una de esas gestas humanas que conmueven a cualquiera: la expedición dirigida por Ernest Sackleton a tierras de la Antártida. Un asunto del cual era casi absoluto desconocedor. En síntesis, se trataba de la denominada "Expedición imperial transantártica", que tenía como objetivos atravesar ese continente y alcanzar el Polo Sur. para ello, se dispuso de un barco, el ya mítico "Endurance" ("Resistencia") que con 28 tripulantes partió de Londres en 1914, justo cuando en Europa se inciaba la Primera Guerra Mundial.El Endurance atrapado entre los hielos antárticos.La tripulación abandona el barco.Pero el Endurance acabó literalmente atrapado y destrozado entre los hielos antárticos y lo que se había planteado como una exploración geográfica, propia del espíritu aventurero de la époc

 Justice is a pure bred Arabian that can easily be registered. His sire Al Dente grandsire Al Banat are producers of exceptional endurance and competitive trail horses. He is very quiet and friendly on the ground, loves kids and is UTD with everything. He has never been fat, has big bones, strong legs feet. He has been to the mountains several times last summer, barrel raced and was jumping 3 ft. in 2006. He is very smart, eager to please and needs a experience rider because he has lots of go and high energy. He is currently being worked once a week indoors by a professional trainer, and going out on the occassional trail ride. I am a beginner rider, this is my first horse and I am selling him because he is too much horse for me. I would be willing to trade for a quiet older mare 8-15 yrs. old.

Bud Winter coached at San Jose State University from 1944 - 1974 and was responsible for the legendary “Speed City” in the mid 1960’s. In total, he produced 1 NCAA Championship, 49 NCAA records, and 27 Olympians including including Tommie Smith, Lee Evans, and John Carlos, just to name a few. He also coached Greece’s Chris Papanicolaou, the first man to pole vault 18 feet. His basic approach to sprinting was a simple 8 step plan: 1. Use high knee action 2. Use good foreleg reach 3. Run high on toes 4. Have good arm action 5. Maintain good forward lean 6. Bound forward, not up 7. Run tall, with back straight 8. Be relaxed, with loose jaw and loose hands I posted Tommie Smith’s training methods here. Many thanks to Gary G. from Scotia, NY, for providing the information below.

one of the most important traits one can have as a traveller is endurance. after all we spend a considerable amount of our travelling life waiting. we wait for a bus, that was supposed to have picked us up three hours ago; we wait at airports to catch our flight out; we wait in a queue at some embassy to apply for a visa and then again to pick it up; we wait at restaurants for our food to arrive; we wait for our next trip to start; we wait at border crossings for a border guard to stamp our passport; we wait and pray for daylight to arrive, cause we, once again, chose the cheapest guesthouse, which is full of bugs and mosquitos and lacks a basic mosquito net; we wait at customs while our backpack is being inspected; we wait…the list goes on and on.

“The testing of your faith produces endurance.” 1 Corinthians 1:3 (NAS) Everywhere I turn around these days this word, endurance, seems to be screaming at me. And in just about every area of my life I would like to scream back at it. My devotional said “God won’t permit more pressure than we can handle” and then I read Paul said “People are watching us as we stay at our post … immersed in tears yet always filled with deep joy; living on handouts, yet enriching many, having nothing, having it all.” 1 Cor. 6: 1-10. Then I hear a song, “Having faith in the long run is easier said than done; It’s hard to live out in the light of day … Despite all your tendencies, God sees it differently; Your struggle’s a time to grow …” Throughout several areas in my life right now it seems that victory, or breakthrough, is right around the corner, yet so far away. But isn’t this what endurance is about?

If you are reading this pre-med/medical school blog (thanks!), then you probably fall into one of a small number of categories (I know, this is a gross generalization, but please hang with me for a moment). And to you, whomever you are, I would like to send encouragement based upon the category in which you find yourself.Perhaps you are in high school, dreaming of (or maybe just considering) a career in medicine. Well, the best advice I can give you is to develop very thick skin. Lots of people are going to tell you that you are out of your league, no matter who you are, because the goal seems so lofty that many people dismiss it automatically; they think that's just something students say. I am proof, however, that it can be done...and I come from no long heritage of doctors (I'm the first in my family to go to college) and have never had any sort of great wealth. The point I'm trying to make is this: you set your mind and keep it set--work (work hard), begin volunteering and accum

For those attending the 36th ADAC Zurich 24 Hour Race 2008 in May, Toyota has a treat for you. Motor Authority is reporting that a prototype racing version of the as yet to finalized LF-A uber-Lexus will be running round the 'Ring. This impresses us because any 24 Hour race is murder on a vehicle. But one at the Nurburgring? That borders on suicidal. Which we like. The final production specs haven't been released/announced yet, but just to jog your memory we're talking about a 4.8-liter V10 kicking out more than 500 horsepower that powers the hot Lexus to more than 200 mph. This prototype racer raises the bar with bigger wheels and brakes, a Superbird-inspired rear wing, tenny-tiny racing style side mirrors; and at least a dozen new inlets, scallops and scoops. Plus, the insid
