      Dungeon Runners has release the latest update entitled "Chunk 2" for the free to play satirical MMO. A big part of this update is new in-game advertising. This benefits non-paying free accounts! Content and functionality that was previously only available to paying players will now be open to all. The only difference is that there will be advertising in loading screens and a banner positioned at the top of the game window. This advertising will offset the costs to play. I LOVE this model!

      Motivational Tips for Beginning Runners
      By: Dave ElgerHaving trouble getting out the door? Here are a few tips to help keep you motivated.Pick a goal. A performance goal. Maybe a race, or just a specific workout. I recently met a woman that was so proud when she ran 30 minutes without stopping, I could tell something had really clicked with her. She is hooked.Start slow. A beginning running program needs to be slow, easy, progressive, and hopefully enjoyable. Back in my days at Ball State University we took 12 weeks to take adults through a jog walk progression with a final goal of jogging 20-30 minutes nonstop. Remember, the more out of shape you are, the more uncomfortable exercise is going to be, unless you keep the intensity low. If you cannot walk 3.5 miles in an hour, you are not ready to start jogging. Buy some nice gear. Good shoes and comfortable gear might be something you look forward to using on a regular basis. Involve the family. Family fitness is an awesome motivator for parents. Involve others. It does help s

      How Come Mexican Drug Runners Build Their Tunnels Better than Coal Mines?
      Over the past decade United States Drug Enforcement Agency and Border Patrol Agents along with the Federal Bureau of Investigations have discovered tunnels under our borders. These tunnels have been used to ship many tons of drugs right under the US Border.The Department of Homeland Security is extremely concerned that Al Queda may use these same tunnels to move weapons of mass destruction and sleeper cells into our nation. The most recent tunnel discovered is around a half a mile long. In the tunnel 2-tons of Marijuana was also seized.Now then this begs the question of the Coal Mines in the world. We have Chinese Coal mines, which are experiencing some 1600 deaths per year. Recently in the United States in West Virginia one mining accident killed 12 people. Then a few weeks later another accident killed 3 more people.Why is it that the Mexican Drug runners can build better tunnels than the coal mining industry? Some say it is the massive amount of money available to the drug smugglers

      GOP Front Runners Skip Faith-Based Debate
      Democratic presidential candidates have been falling all over themselves pandering to Christian voters. Meanwhile, Republican front runners Giuliani, McCain, Romney and Thompson plan to skip the Value Voters Debate in Florida tomorrow, apparently indifferent to the wrath of their base. What is happening to "God's Own Party?" If there was a hell, I think it just might be freezing over right about now!I'd like to offer two brief comments. First, this is hilarious! Could it be that Republicans are starting to view appearances before Christian extremists as a liability to their campaigns? I love it! Second, do not be fooled by the "values voter" label; it is conservative code for "Christian extremist." But don't take my word for it. See for yourselves what they believe.H/T to Pam's House BlendTags: values voters, Republicans, debate, 2008 election, election 2008, Christian, Christian extremism, religion, politics, GOP, Rudy Giuliani, John McCain, Mitt Romney, Fred Thompson

      Mead Mania - How About a State X-Country Title Where the First 3 Finishers Are Your Runners - Part 3
      By Ed Bagley Key to Pat Tyson's practice routine as well as Steve Prefontaine's and the University of Oregon's was to train twice a day, a steady run the morning and a specific training workout in the afternoon.The spillover effect of Tyson's personality, accessibility and passion for running positively influenced Mead runners and brought students into the program that may otherwise have never been involved in athletics.Students who also might have played other sports only to ride the bench came into Tyson's program because they could compete rather than watch their teammates win.Tyson's philosophy and system became infectious in the Greater Spokane League. A league that had done well spawned other teams that won state titles when Mead did not.To show how dominate Mead was, I want to share with you what I saw at the 1993 state cross-country meet in Pasco (WA). It was the year that Mead won its 6th straight title under Pat Tyson's reign.The distance was 5000 meters (3.1 miles) an

      Legendary Distance Runners Countdown
      After completing a promising number of laps in the 12-minute test, I was encouraged to join the Track and Field team, during my freshman year. Since I was not fleet of foot (and a mighty 85 lbs. to boot), there was no question as to what would be my events. Being a sports history buff, I quickly started searching about information on past distance runners. I remember finding an Olympic history

      Free Runners Socks
      Having finally finished the latest Harry Potter book (don’t worry, no spoilers will be leaked here), I can get back to my life. I had shunned the Internet, radio, TV, and basically all outside communication with the world in an effort to make sure I wasn’t spoiled to the ending. And now I’m feeling a little lethargic, as I haven’t left my house in about a week now. So I’ve just signed up for these free runners socks and maybe once I get them in a few weeks, I’ll finally venture outside and, you know, take part in this “exercise” stuff I keep hearing about.

      Sudden death in runners - isn't exercise meant to protect the heart?
      Disclaimer: I joked in our previous post that we would need a disclaimer, and sure enough, we did! This post is updated from the one that was posted yesterday, in response to a comments regarding terminology and statistics. So before we begin, we clarify some definitions:A Heart Attack is caused by a circulation or plumbing problem in the heart,;while Sudden Cardiac Arrest is caused by an electrical problem in the heart. In our last post, we used the term heart attack, and were informed that this was incorrect, and should have been cardiac arrest - we disagree with the 'incorrect' part, though we acknowledge that sudden death during exercise can have electrical explanations, and so perhaps 'incomplete' would have been more appropriate! Our focus in the post is primarily on the circulatory causes which we believe are still more prevalent, according to literature on runners (see the Jim Fixx section). In this post, then, we speak of heart attacks.

      Gender Differences in Marathon Runners
      Just a quick news update from the ACSM on marathon training and performance strategies. Read the press release or just cruise through my quick summary. Have a great weekend!Male runners had faster race times than female runners, due to men’s greater aerobic capacity and ability to pump more blood through the heart than women.Although a high per-week mileage was not necessary to merely finish the race, greater mileage increases aerobic fitness and usually leads to faster race times.Years of running experience did not play a significant role in race success.Non-serious past injuries and physical symptoms during the race, such as nausea, also had no significant bearing on outcome.The fastest marathon times were run in cool conditions of approximately 50 degrees Fahrenheit.The American College of Sports Medicine is the largest sports medicine and exercise science organization in the world.

      Dungeon Runners Now Available for All
      Contrary to what a certain comment on my original thread several months ago on Dungeon Runners would have you believe, I did send out many invites. But now, I no longer have to. Dungeon Runners is now open for everyone. Now though, I would like to take a moment to all those who I didn’t get to send an invite out too (like my oh so rude commenter who seems to think I screwed him over). I sent out over 50 invites to people. I could only send out 4 at a time so this was quite a task, and considering each one had a two week expiration, I did the best I could. Some people I’m sure I missed, some people I couldn’t get to in a reasonable time and many of those I didn’t ever contact (some I did, but it was a lot). I was asked for well over 100 invites, much more than I ever expected to get. My fault, I doubted people’s desire to have free stuff given to them. In the future I will try to do a better job of contacting people in a timely manner so that e-mail

      Cross Training for Runners
      What is cross-training? Cross training refers to any form of training that differs from running activity – it therefore includes gym training (resistance training), swimming, aerobics/taebo, spinning, rowing, elliptical training and cycling. Cross training gained popularity with runners as a form of alternative training to reduce injury risk and improve overall whole body fitness. There is some rationale for believing that this may be true. Cross Training to prevent injury? The primary reason cross training is beneficial is an indirect one, because it allows the runner to manipulate the load on the normally used muscles and joints without necessarily compromising fitness and training status. In other words, they can obtain benefits from running at the same time as relieving the workload on those muscles and joints that running focuses on. The risk of injury from excessive running is high specifically because these joints are chronically overloaded, and so cross training r

      Dungeon Runners Invite Update
      For those of you that might not have checked the comments in the other thread and wonder why you haven’t gotten your invite, here’s what’s going on. I am allowed to send out 4 invites at any given time. Once a person activates their account with the key that was sent to them I can invite another person. Currently there are 4 out waiting to be activated. If you are one of those 4 (if you signed up at all check the e-mail that was given) please activate as soon as you can so other invites can be sent out. If you are wondering what order in line you are, I won’t say, but there are 8 people still awaiting an invite, and they will be sent out in the order that I received them. Hopefully this will go quickly and people will activate, but if there are any other problems or delays, etc. I will be updating again mid-week to fill everyone in.

      The Impact of Knee Angular Impules on Patellofemoral Pain in Runners
      While reviewing some articles this evening I ran across an article titled Knee Angular Impulses as a Predictor of Patellofemoral Pain in Runners by Stefanyshyn, DJ et al found in the November issue of The American Journal of Sports Medicine . I found this article interesting since it attempted to determine whether greater knee abduction moments played a role in the development of patellofemoral pain in runners. The November 2003 edition of the Journal of Orthopaedic and Sports Physical Therapy provides an excellent framework with which to appreciate lower extremity dynamic positioning and its effect on patellofemoral joint kinematics. The study utilized a both retrospective case control study and a prospective study to help gain insight. The retrospective case control study utilized a patellofemoral pain group and a asymptomatic group. Both study groups had shown the runners with patellofemoral pain displayed significantly greater mean knee abduction impulses than asymptomatic r
