For the second time in six years and a half I get the legs in the magical ring mark. In autumn 2004 I had reviewed the conditions of the Achilles tendon and the outcome of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance convinced me to undergo the operation being performed in the spring of 2005, when the equivalence including "no scarification = no race." I have it good, otherwise I would not be here writing. Saturday morning I checked the condition of the left knee continues to hurt me and prevent me from running out of balance, overloading the right limb at the time that it is healthier. Images have been collected but not yet processed. I await the outcome in the coming days. I've never had major knee problems and are currently suffering through no fault of their own. However, it is possible that in cross country three weeks ago has damaged some property. We'll see. These joints dancers join me in some way that did not participate in Gebre Tokyo Marathon Race this morning. He at least has slammed his knees on the ground, so it writes on TWITTER , who has been silent for too long as his press office. I just hope not to follow in destiny until the withdrawal or withdrawal in the marathon race like NYC 2010. I do spells. missing seven weeks in London, not many, a reassuring outcome (no injury, the meniscus in place, physiological cartilage thickness) and the resumption of steady workouts are the goals of next week. There are quiet and observing the growth of the friends cast as trains to their spring marathon (Rome, Treviso, Milan, Rotterdam, London, Padua, Trieste). After the first half to personal Verona Fabrizio V, David M, Stefano T a week ago today Vittorino B has the best three and a half minutes to Ostia. Fantastic!
Matteo Simone, a psychologist, psychotherapist, who read these pages with a series of interesting articles, published in 2011, this essay. A book that deals with the techniques of sports psychology. It also adds a discussion of: cross-cultural health, Gestalt therapy, psychology, emergency and EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), a technique used to solve performance anxiety and improve performance at work and in field athletic and artistic.
is a time apparently died from the standpoint of Pentax news, but be prepared for an escalation of revelations in the presentation of the not-so- mirrorless Pentax in early spring. The very next week we will be able to reveal something, what we have been promised. Stay tuned.
The site still needs to be updated, mea culpa, and the accompanying documentation arranged. Meanwhile it is being printed, the presentation and delivery of services brochure Studio RX (4 pages Folding F / R 15x15cm).
After the first five years spent on the athletic fields to nurture young talent, with time I approached the master field, which also takes place in my renewed activities. The approach is completely different because there are different the conditions and objectives. Above all, he is faced with a reversed slope of the availability of performance: on the one hand, a growing body in the full force of the forces and capacities for receiving, the other the natural decrease of the same (number of reflections in the post "Calcaterra"). So there is to pay maximum attention to the use of the means of training.
Run Academy was founded to provide a support service to the programming of the sport who want to add a competitive addition to the primary objective of maintaining health. Just browse through the magazines to find many indications, in the vast sea of \u200b\u200bthe Internet is that you lose orientation, friends runners distribute generous advice and raise doubts hamletic. Which direction to take? After a thorough medical history, assessment tests, checking availability, adjustment of objectives, definition plan competitions, implementation preferences and tools used shall be established a program on which feedback is required for the continued rehabilitation until they can provide a periodization medium to long term by an important objective to the next. The key is to identify priority items for obtaining performance, consistent with the assumptions described above. Very often it is better to rearrange and define the means of training, particularly with regard to quantity and pace of the race.
+ Google Maps Street View from west SP248
The first proposal born a year ago only to members [AV]. In Studio RX is extended to everyone, there is direct contact, there is full availability of professional services in support of the sport (with different medical specialties, physiotherapy, osteopathy) and a precise reference environment just south of downtown Marostica, close to Via Roma, where you off from Viale Vicenza SP248.
continue with the reasoning of Dr. Michael Colgan sull'overtraining and the parallel with aging. Studies Show That the neuroendocrine system Becomes exhausted, I know That Altering hormone levels optimal performance is impossible. Some severely overtrained athletes Have Developed Addison's disease, characterized permanently by the Reduced function of the adrenal glands, so That They No Longer Maintain proper hormone levels. That's the finish of Any elite sports career.
This is the phrase that has stayed with me most in memory. Age, in addition to the decreased ability of muscle contractile force and therefore in general (also of the heart!), Also leads to a decreased ability to recover due to decreased hormonal function. I remember a sentence of genuine and immense Steve OVETTO that justified his retreat more or less in these words "I was tired of let me see my children lying on a sofa between race and the other "when trying to recover from one workout to the next.
The other big problem is suppression of immune function. Overtrained athletes Become Progressively more susceptible to infection. They Also get more injuries, Especially muscles and tendon injuries, the type That can cut training for months. My friend, Olympian Jeff Galloway, Who Has Taught Thousands of athletes how to run, put it best "The single greatest cause of Remaining improvement is injury-free to train. "
We wanted to close the pearl of Jeff's speech, which I understand better now than when I read the first time, although not enough to remain "free from injury" to have the guarantee of improvement. If we take a sample as Stefano Baldini, who all think we know well, we see how he ran the scene at large until 2006, began to crack in 2007, was partially lifted in 2008 in preparation for the Beijing Olympics in which he ran with an injury to the hamstrings, which proved to be recurring in subsequent years, he devoted himself to the shorter races in 2009 where he still got good satisfaction, to launch the career of the grand finale of 2010 that unfortunately did not had planned outcomes.
NYC 2010, Stefano Baldini breaks out in Central Park after accompanying athletes B2R (Friday, 05/11 - ph. Titian)
F bears that Stephen has trained with less care, less effort or less conviction in the last years of his career? Of course not. All documented on his website that was founded in http://www.stefanobaldini.net/ 2006 in what was his last great year. Then begins the swing until the final withdrawal of last autumn 2010. ... continue ...
Continue the period from Jeremiah. After the comic character of the TNT public representation of the majestic Michelangelo hoping it's the last week in tone: a little slow paced race, muscle bound and that ailing left knee also makes me limp while walking. It is not the first time I've ever known and I never predict the release from the torpor. In a similar situation in the winter of 1993 it took me several weeks to recover, in the winter of 1997 a month and a half after a high fever during the Christmas period. Happens then to feel good from day to day. No notice. I wait patiently, without wanting to change the reference prophet.
Each has its own problems! Look to Championships Kenyans yesterday in Nairobi: no cross world champion will defend his 2010 title in four weeks because no one has managed to qualify in the terrible trials. Here is a country that has problems of redundancy, while most claim parts. What has become of the two specimens seen in action at Campaccio and Cross Italica ? A stomach ache stopped EBUYA Joseph and Leonard Komon has grabbed the last available seat to Punta Umbria (SPA).

Today I was however, in Verona for the Marathon, in the company of healthy siblings and friends from Marostica, which has been joined by many others in the center of Verona. Every now and watch the races from the outside is good and much better evaluate the organizational efforts and the beauty of an outline that would otherwise travel you do not appreciate.

Piazza delle Erbe waiting for the passage race
is needed to confirm that Verona is a beautiful city? Of course not. But is ready to welcome so many runners? In my opinion, yes. In the final part of the course, what I saw, there were continuous barriers on both sides and many viewers rightly guided by friendly staff and many of the trail soldiers who guarded well. In the starting area I have seen very high barriers to avoid stepping over so smart that they complied with the cages of departure: there were to be settled well over 3,000 runners in the proof of that half to nearly 2,000 members united in the marathon are to reach the high altitude of 5,000 entrants.

adding half an hour and a quarter hours today difference between the start of the half-marathon and you can mix the races with athletes at the same speed.

Today Blog Yvon Bourque has revealed what has kept the people so much trepidation Pentax in the last days. In world forums there has been launched into disquisitions on fuel batteries, GPS, battery grip for left and things more and more unlikely, as it turns out that today was the launch of a brand "Made in USA" accessory reflex. Excellent viral marketing, poor detection.
propose a quick sample of amputations of body parts made in some recent covers of the "Bible of the Sport" T & F News, a sign of the eternal struggle between photographers and graphic designers. Obviously they have the final say in the composition of the image looking for maximum communication impact. I can almost understand the best filling of space by the mighty Chris, the representation of the Tyson-Usain comparison, the equal distribution between Elena and Kenenisa, but it was just the left hand to maim and Blanka to trim dall'alluce right heel?
Question of pixels? Understand the choice of "biblical scholars" but in my scraps also try to keep the correct ratio of 3:2 shooting. My soul is still so much love of geometry and completeness, as Plato may seem.
There was a time when great photographers will also print the negative edge of playing for reassurance that corresponded exactly to the next step. Lesson totally anachronistic in the days of Photoshop?
resurrected texts of the last century and still valid, I leave the original English because it is easily translatable and sounds much better in Italian.
About tiredness I've gathered a nice phrase Brendan FOSTER contained in his biography from the late 70's "All top international athletes wake up feeling tired in the morning and go to bed feeling very tired ( Running with the Legends , p.. 374) that inspired many a young Rob DE CASTELLA on to what is a constant state of high-level athlete. Deek made it a way of life on which he based athletic growth and career success. Brendan was perhaps not very knowledgeable to topics in neurophysiology, was unaware of the growth hormone [GH] and mechanisms for his release during sleep, but he appreciated the beneficial effects that the morning he woke up less tired of how he had fallen asleep. Everything is played on a delicate balance between training, nutrition, motivation and resilience. The problem is: how long does the virtuous circle?
A quick response is synthesized indirectly by Dr. Michael Colgan ( Optimum Sports Nutrition , page 73-74) between the lines when it comes to overtraining in Chapter 7 entitled "Rest and Sleep . What links overtraining to "rest and sleep? Simple: the overtraining syndrome primarily engaged Occurs Because Of Insufficient rest. Even if your training and nutrition program Came straight from the mouth of God Almighty, without Adequate rest your body will fail to Adapt.
There are no magic or shortcuts to a physiological growth performance: train, eat and rest. Already live this daily sequence must be very stringent and Forrest Gump convinced us completely filled the day, like any elite athlete, who is in splendid condition until his talent renewed performance by combining all the above components.
There is no way you can gut it out by will power. Just the opposite. Athletes who are falling into the overtraining syndrome Often start to train harder to "break the plateau." Instead of Improving They get worse faster. You can not beat Because overtraining with more work, by the time Becomes it noticeable, your body is Already shot.
Who wants a well-documented recent example from the victim, can read the story of Ryan HALL directly in his blog after training had almost unexpected escalation in the final period of preparation Autumn Marathon: in a month has passed by Perfect Moments through doubt of To Run Or Not To Run until a decision Why I Decided Not To Run Chicago because of overtraining. Hence it is cracked his relationship with his coach that brought Ryan to manage themselves independently. The first output in the competitive U.S. half marathon championships in Houst on (29/01) was positive, although not winning. It expects half of NYC in just over a month and then the strict path of Boston.
reflection gets interesting because over-training is similar to aging, with the difference that for the decreased performance caused by a momentary physical overtraining in young but there is a remedy that is not to advance of age.
On Yvon Bourque's blog was published a post about something that would be strange to get to K-7/K-5, and that at a later time will come for other manufacturers.
At first glance it seems that some Pentax and Tokina will replicate in other markets, but it is unclear why it should be used only with K-7 and K-5. Or a feature to be implemented in the firmware of the two machines, and only later will be extended to other houses? The original post is
According to a reliable informant who has proven a few weeks ago, the first mirrorless Pentax ... will mirror drive, but not transparent . At the moment I can not understand what it means. The name is not DP-1.
weekend, fortunately without competition, because I would not be able to express myself better, because a little, and I hope soon, the season of evil. The state of inflammation in part from the head and spreads to the body, also exacerbating the discomfort behind the knee. I hope that the condition of misery to evaporate in the coming days and the break-General encourages the recovery of the body. Public then the continuation of "Calcaterra" to maintain a decent profile and did not commit beyond, with the risk of becoming a Jeremiah.
... continue ...
George CALCATERRA an example to follow? No, because George is unique, a real phenomenon, but the lesson must be considered and applied wherever possible. In the weeks following the meeting almost jokingly told everyone that I had taken the "Calcaterra" in its mild form, fortunately, when friends were amazed to see me compete in continuity after the marathon of spring (Paris 11/04/2010 ), despite the discomfort in his left ankle, and usually I was taking too long period without competition to recover in peace, for example, in 2007 I have not raced for four months from the abundant Marathon Padova Half of the Brenta 4.22 to 09.02. I made a right and then to early June, then I prefer to train with calm during the summer and I returned happily to compete in September.
In 2010 I participated in 23 races or similar to these: 4 to 8-10km rural, 7 races of approx. 10km, a race of 10 miles, seven half marathons, two races of 30km, 2 marathons. Each had a sense of presence: the rankings of companies in the country pleasure to participate in competitions that I just repeat (StraVicenza, Maratona del Santo, 10 miles of the Roses, Half the Brenta, barbecues, 6 municipalities, meetings Lightning), the paths that I had walked earlier (Campolongo, Villafranca, Carpi) to those at presentation (Puro10'000, untie Lauf, Gardaland Half Marathon). Sometimes to please even the organizers, sometimes in person to experience the event from the inside. Maybe I lost some specific work to finalize the best performance - in fact they are not fallen below the time and 10 'in half - while maintaining a good total: nearly 4'900km 2'700km referred to in the last 6 months.
Sometimes I wonder if I can stand up to?
Blood tests last year are stable, stackable
RBC 5.0 × 10 ^ 6/μL - HGB 15.6 g / dL - 46.0% HCT
in line with the precedents of the past 4 years (medium change)
RBC 5.0 ± 0.1 - 15.7 ± 0.2 HGB - 45.5 HCT ± 0.7
Here at least there are no failures. Even in the muscles, tendons and joints, at least it seems: nothing special that can not be attributed to morphology is not perfect (just look at the tibia, associated with low arch), objective difficulties (the Achilles tendons scarified), on age. And so far so manageable.
I often moments of clarity, like Forrest Gump in Monument Valley after 3 years 2 months 14 days and 16h of uninterrupted running, and I think " are a bit 'tired! . Childbirth and then I go to run, if the thought comes over me when I'm at home, or continue to push, if they are already running.
I hope one day to have the same clarity and truly say " I am a little 'tired! " complete the sentence" I think I'll come home "and apply it without dragging on. I continue to run, fast as I can, until the inspiration fuels motivation.
Pragmatism USA offers us another incredible tool.

Unfortunately no surprises in the report (or) mirrorless Pentax is proud to Yokohama from CP +. The only novelty is not preceded by press releases are the future road-map objectives 645D, which provides a view down from the picture next year followed by a zoom, a medium-Wide Attachment and a short tele-cortotele mediotele within two years and a GPS to be included into the sledge portaflash reflex.
I start Saturday, March 13, 2010 RIGO with friends Andrea and Lorenzo Bressani to the Treviso Marathon Expo and I settle in a hotel room that I was assigned to BHR in the company of Giorgio Calcaterra. Calmly he arrives in the late afternoon, driving his car which is also the means of work on the streets of the capital. Set a quarter of an hour break to stretch legs and back every 2 hours of driving, so the journey did not weigh almost nothing, he assures me. After fixing his favorite things quickly get out to stretch with a run rather than sit at the technical meeting in which the race director summarizes the indications for the top runners. Giorgio already know this marathon and not feel the need for reminders. When you come across remind him to take only the next morning his reintegrated into collection boxes for each individual restaurant. He says that he did not serve and is sufficient to find the water along the way: in the end it's just a marathon, while the 100km needs a more substantial support to arrive at the end. In the room I see many shoes, but no pair to run properly performing its rhythms. In truth, he says, he prefers to run with a more protective to have no recovery problems. For dinner, then we are at the table with Laura GIORDANO, accompanied by her husband, and George is generous to satisfy the curiosity of multiatleta. So it turns out everything from how we can collect 200 km per week by training once a day (not hard ... 30km Monday, Tuesday, 30km, 30km Wednesday, ...), how to convert its powerful motor up to ultra marathons (you have to learn to run up ...), how he reduced almost to zero the meat in the diet (more compassion for animals killed for food belief), how he lost perhaps the 'opportunity to describe his career in youth ages, but in the end was so happy. Disarming, without being naive. Meanwhile, I thought: how many whims and paranoia about things that I do not even consider George? Why complicate the race when the solution is simple? Training, shoes, diet, re ... George gives a lecture on how to address the athletic life to a minimum. The next day, runs almost in solitude 2h22'30 "(= 3'22" / km) because it is not quite ready to carry the train under the 2:20 a.m. 'launched by Filippo Lo Piccolo and Hermann Achmüller. Perhaps it has not recovered completely victory over 58km of Strasimeno the previous week (3h35'52 "= 3'43" / km)? Maybe he does not want too get tired of having Italian Championship 100km Seregno of next Sunday (the victory with a large staff of 6h28'51 "= 3'53" / km)? Treviso Marathon is just one of the twenty races that George puts continuously every weekend from mid-January, over distances ranging from 10 to 100km. The mechanism that seemed to launch the perpetual motion jams ahead of Passatore , who wins widely, as did back problems that have kept him away from racing for several months.
Tomorrow opens in Yokohama on CP +, the most important trade fair for Japanese photographic market, an event that is supplanting slowly other world events, and now come the confirmations of various rumors of bygone days. So here :
• K-5 silver here • the three originals by Limited (21.40 and 70) in silver version here • the new Optio compact WG-1, also in GPS here the DFA 645 • 25 / 4 AL IF SDM AW here
worthy of notice integrated GPS for the first time and declared a Pentax film coverage of the format for the purpose of the 645D (19mm equivalent digital and 15mm film equivalent), all the nice price of about € 5000.
Domnai with the opening of the exhibition stand we'll see if Pentax will appear something that portends, in one way or another, in the near future.
w05/2011 - a return to the country, Seventh Pescantina
In anticipation of today's photos I scan the flyer's image two years ago, when on the same route held the first round of CdS early January. The long cross was the last race and, despite the repeated trampling than before, snow had not yielded much ice. In the less I seemed to run lines in the sand. It happens some new sensation even after the 40.
Seventh Pescantina (VR) - 1st Test Regional Security Council (04/01/2009)
In the lead are my team-mates Michael Costa (immense talent not yet lost), followed by Andrea Zordan who won the race in a sprint finish (now 4th in the short cross ). Under the bonnet is recognizable FABBIAN Alexander, now 2nd in the wake of the exceptional Said BOUDALIA. The Padua has grown a lot since then and is among the best in the world multiple specialties duathlon / triathlon. At the bottom of a picture so peeps Giancarlo SIMIONATO the first country of the Veneto. In a couple of years has come to the podium of the Italian championship in 2010 in Venice marathon behind Migidio BOURIFA BOUDALIA and Said. To meet again next summer a man and an athlete to return dall'Erasmus renewed in the Netherlands.
Today was good for seventh in Pescantina, just above Verona, on the north bank of the mouth of the Adige Valpolicella (the competition between Via Porto, Via Pini, Via Bertoldi of map). It seemed the onset of spring, sunshine and warm air imperious. The mind was not entirely free, because an applicant grip the twins outside of the calves since I started with exercises to awaken the end after NYC. Concerns have weakened as they approached the start, then the shot almost made me forget everything and first steep descent provided the ultimate certainty that if anything was broken up at that moment nothing would break for the rest of the race. I could go on with the story of a good distribution (easy to read it again later in the lap stopwatch!), But I liked more comparisons with the three players that I have been in close contact until the penultimate lap. Bravo to revive Taoufik BAZHAR in the final after being taken to his heels in pursuit and I unplugged the comrades who had been following me.
will be because of age or shrunken resulting from training for the marathon, but today I suffered a lot about the ups and downs of the levees. So much trouble that then spread on the flat and downhill, when the mud permitted. The rigid plate of shoes and long nails gave me great satisfaction on soft ground, where I was immediately at ease, despite nearly a year of fasting. The ancient art is never forgotten!
Egami publish a new patent pentax telephoto lens comprises a removable section consists of a lens and including the diaphragm, and a part that serves as a hose connector. The site suggests that it is a sort of masked patent for a lens adapter for the camera on a draft mirrorless short. Intelligent, but does not match what we are told by reliable source. In fact, it would be a patent for a big lens that is expected later this year and we talked about in previous posts. Stay tuned.
