Americans are strong sti (2) - Jeff Galloway


Vicenza, 14/11/2010 - leaving group
Even if he works and represents a cornerstone for another editorial side, in the penultimate number of RUN (No. 316 February 2011, pp. 35-36) is a short, dense interview with Jeff Galloway by Daniel MENARINI dating back to the same day in mid-November in which he has passed for Vicenza.

The conversation that starts in 1972 which broke the story of middle-distance and long Jeff was one of the pioneers in search of new frontiers. It was a great athlete, he could accompany Frank Shorter Olympic 10'000m participation in the double-marathon, but chose to mark the Trials in Eugene (OR) with that gesture of generosity towards his teammate Jack Bacheler in the test that gave the longest 'incipit also to his post athletic activities. To maintain a good level of fitness itself has also developed the system that made him famous around the world, then translated in the proposed run-walk-run that is his trademark to those who begins to run (a leader in research Google ). very precautionary approach to health and socializing because it is applicable to large groups.

GALLOWAY Jeff knew, I knew his method, but I had to meet him to understand and practice with the group of about thirty people who met in Vicenza. Not only are 40 years of experience, but Jeff has a communicative intent to simplify all know, the perfect reverse of some guru in our house. For those five minutes of patience am attaching an example of the great comments that Carlo Vittorio Matteo Galvan of the race in the spring of 2006: a very challenging second half of the first page. You will be amazed by the race of Matthew, a show, not a description that makes it WIN.

order to obtain the photo shoot I participated in the lecture in run-walk-run through the center of Vicenza, and I enjoyed a technical detail that would normally takes second place. running and walking are two completely different actions along the way are reset parameters to be reset at the start of the race later. Then on the way to recover not only the physiological level (the lower the heart rate, decreases the ventilation ... disposing of fatigue), but is also rearranged the racing action when you restart. This prevents the accumulation of errors and overload, which depress the technical efficiency and are one cause of accidents.

What Sort Of Wax Can I Use For My Genita

A generation of courageous young people (3) - Italians

... continue ...


Back to the 1972 Olympics in Monaco where the 20 year old Peter MENNEA brought home an unexpected bronze in the 200m, starting an inimitable career, while the 28-year old Franco Arese was unable to convert Olympic gold medal of the great European Championships in Helsinki last year.


In those years he was seeding a lot for the future. Some tracks can also be found in the latest issue of the journal Federal Athletics 01_2011 where is a brief summary of the glorious history of Luciano Gigliotti (pp. 48-51) that has its roots in those years .

An athlete who emerged in the results of global significance in that September 1972 was the 29 year-old Gianni Del Buono, who did not find the right spaces in 1'500m the Olympics, but rewrote the return in 11 days of the Italian record (13 / 9 Rome 5'000m 13'22 "4, 17 / 9 Rieti 3'000m 7'49" 4, 24 / 9 Reggio Emilia 2'000m 5'00 "0), breaking the hegemony of Franco Arese for a few months they monopolized by 800m (1'47 "1) to 10'000m (28'27" 0), shortly before he entered the national record in a global context marked by athletes more specialized than a miler with a large range competitive in those years also touched the marathon.

Abbott and France reserves the time to mature their talents and helped to drag the young people born during the years following. Olympics Monaco of 1972 he began a 20 year old Franco Fava in the 3000st, after having improved the Italian record in Oslo the previous month, and ran aground in the semifinals. He grew a lot over the years and just missed a medal at the European Championships in Rome 1974, where improved for the last time the Italian record up to 8'18 "85, beaten by the best specialists of the time. sprint between the Great Polish Bronislaw MALINOWSKY and the Swede Anders GARDERUD who respectively win the Moscow Olympics of 1980 and Montreal 1976 .


In the 3 years following Franco Fava improved the national record by 3'000m up time on the track (7'42 "65 in 3'000m; 13'21" 98 in 5000; 27'42 " 65 in 10,000, 20.416 kilometers an hour on the track). For the gourmets there are also 10 holdings at the World Cross Country coming 9 times in the top 10. it remains the best place ever for an Italian (4 ° in 1977 in Düsseldorf). Here are an interview on the famous tachycardia, an affectionate and detailed portrait of an intense exchange.

worth passing of the baton to Venanzio ORTIS , three years younger than Franco, who in the summer of 1978 at age 23 to escape the Franco Fava record of 5 and 10'000m (13'20 "8 27'31" 48) particularly exciting and won two medals at the European Championships in Prague. In 10'000m was run on a record pace in the world and the race, Venancio seems content with his performance towards outstanding silver. VAINIO was stronger than him, just more aware.



The counter where there was once in 5'000m Venanzio really believe it, found the gap and the winning flick, putting everyone in line. Three players in this sprint resisted at the highest levels to the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles where they joined in an unusual fate: the Swiss Markus Ryffel was the last to come off on imposing Said Aouita 5 '000m, Finnish VAINIO Martti tried in every way to remove the 10'000m Alberto COVA (the silver was removed from later disqualified for doping), the Irish John TREACY was the last to come off the unstoppable Carlos LOPES in the marathon.


Motors exceptional simple Italian boys, as there are too many around today, who devoted themselves with great passion and courage to grow their own talent.

How To Get Creases Out Of Projection Screens

w10/2011 - knees that lock

I read what was written a week ago and the answer is no: I have not been able to ride in balance. Thursday seemed to have reversed the trend regressive - flashes of good feeling and vision of light at the end of the tunnel - but Friday I stopped at a couple of miles from home, when the pain became unbearable and the lame. I'm back walking. The worst had happened to me two weeks ago when I walked down the hill in front of the house and I could not even run on the flat. So I immediately returned.

The origin of the difficulty is visible in MRI scan of the left knee is highlighted in red. I delayed the publication of the post today hoping to get a consultation with the orthopedic and ultimately break the news. Does it make sense to drag it and to expand the healing time? Or am I doing more damage?

I will not even give up the objective London Marathon, because I doubt you have future occasion to go there. I became leader in the travel agency, I have disturbed many people looking for numbers for friends and now that we are many ... how do I miss? To be seen whether I can run and for how long. I was slave to my paranoia I'd already given up racing. I have a month to recover full health and a minimum condition. I just have to convince me to take a stroll and enjoy the party.

How many more times I went well? The most successful courses in 1992 when the Security Council of Cross Country in the hippodrome of Agnano in Naples, for the most part on the same track where until recently had been running the legitimate users, such as horses. In the race I realized I had lost support on a tilting plate raised a powerful base. At the moment there I thought, but already on the return journey by train I had to wear slippers because the plantar fascia too throbbed inside the shoe. In the days following insertion into highly swelled heel, but managed to run over. I also did an ultrasound at the primary eminent radiologist who did not see anything. Then I continued to run without thinking much.
A couple of months later, after returning from World Cross Country Championships in Boston USA, I proceeded with a visit to the orthopedic construction of a customized insole. Having the medical ultrasound probe in your hand to control the Achilles tendon, I asked if he could also check the insertion of the plantar fascia in his left foot. "What a nice scar!" he said. Now the stretch had repaired itself.
