South Africa Win The Super 14 Rugby Cup Finals

The week was full of excitement and hype and this was certainly the greatest rugby coup, since 1995, when South Africa made it to the World Cup Final, against New Zealand. We won that match and again, it seemed that S.A could not lose now either. But, tickets were sold on the black market, competitions were held with tickets as prizes, the radio and TV stations were fixated with Saturdays game and urged the rugby public to phone in to the shows.

A Medaieval Football match

Soccer, and rugby, both started in the same part of the world. The same part of the world that the pilgrim fathers came from. They both derive from an ancient game that still survives. Have you ever seen a Medaieval football match?

Rugby - The Most Strength-Oriented Code of Football

Rugby players are more involved in physical contact and for longer periods than players in other forms of football. With the exception of American football, they tend to be significantly heavier than other footballers. Strength training in rugby has tended to focus on hypertrophy or maintaining strength levels rather than achieving full potential strength, but in the future there is likely to be a concentration on heavy, very mobile players who possess very high-range explosive strength.

Knee Pain During Marathon Training

I am training for the London Marathon and have started to get a pain behind my left knee, which gets worse when I run. It has improved with a week's rest but the back of my legs are very tight and constantly sore after a run.

Why a Positive Goal Works

It is practically impossible for us to think of a negative concept without referring to the positive side first. Just try it. Close your eyes and imagine a plate without a hamburger on it. If you are anything like me, you will first automatically think of a plate with a hamburger and then have to edit the picture mentally in order to arrive at a plate without a hamburger.

Calluses - To Trim or Not To Trim

A callus on the heel or the big toe can causes a lot of pain for a runner. It can develop an even more painful blister underneath and can limit a runner's performance or simply decrease the enjoyment of run. Many runners want to take a razor blade to the callus tissue and trim it down until the skin is raw. Some rub the callus with a pumice stone until their hand goes numb and others apply expensive creams and lotions. But, no matter what you do, somehow, the callus always comes back.
