I have added a link to mapmyrun.com on the right of this website. Check it out if you have not already. Brilliant website. I have also added a couple of new links to some websites that I like.
A legendary rock/mountain climber from the late 80's early 90's Mark Twight owns and operates a gym in Salt Lake City Utah called Gym Jones. His methodology is the same as crossfit or crossfits methodology is the same as his. He has reached widespread acclaim after training the cast from the movie 300. As well as being the creator of the brutal workout titled 300. A gauntlet of high rep powerful and dynamic movements. His methodology my be the same as crossfit. Something that has created quite a stir in the crossfit community. Because he is active in the private sector as opposed to crossfit who publishes their "WOD's" on a website daily. I believe his philosophy is a little different.
As an athlete risking his life and pushing himself beyond what is capable and acceptable. The czech direct route, a single 60 hour nonstop push up the SW face of Mt. Mckinley. A test of mental and physical strength. A route that previously took 11 days. As well as putting up New and unrepeated routes on Mt. Everest. Simply stated , he trains as if his life depends on it. For his case his life most certainly did depend on it. As an amature climber Mark Twight is my idol. I have enjoyed reading and following his career as a climber and a trainer in the elite private sector. I have posted a link to his site Gym Jones on the right. I hope you enjoy reading his articles and ideas as much as I have. If you fancy his ideas and want to take it a bit further and perhaps delve into the sport of climbing check out his book Kiss or Kill. A collective of short stories documenting his outstanding career as an elite athlete.
I have also posted a new link to conditioning research. Posting interesting things about fitness, diet, strength and performance. Check it out man.
