Running Linked To Lower Arthritis Rates Than Wal

Running epidemiologist Paul Williams, Ph.D., often doesn’t get the respect he deserves. That’s because Williams doesn’t conduct randomized, controlled, double-blind studies. Those “gold standard” studies are the ones cheap nfl jerseys from china free shipping that usually make the headlines.


Instead, Williams collects and analyzes self-reported data from runners. Lots of it. He was a “big data” guy long before the term gained its present currency due to folks like Nate Silver and the “quants” on Wall Street. Indeed, Williams launched the National Runners Health Study in the pages of Runner’s World in 1991, and he’s been happily amassing runner nfl jerseys china data ever since. (He also collects data for a smaller National Walkers Health Study.)


Every year, Williams runs several of his impressive data sets through a strict statistical analysis, and tells us more about ourselves than we could possibly learn anywhere else. Today the journal Medicine & Science In Cheap Chicago Bulls Jerseys Sports & Exercise has released his latest effort, a look into osteoarthritis (OA) and hip replacement (HR) rates among 74,752 runners (after 7.1 years of follow-up) and 14,625 walkers (after 5.7 years of follow-up).

Hainsey looking for NHL labor talks to resume so

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Ron Hainsey is getting antsy. discount nfl jerseys Not only is he anxious to get back to the bargaining table with the NHL, he really wants to be on the ice with his teammates.


Just not at all costs and not without the right deal.


As part of the negotiating committee for the buy cheap nfl jerseys players' association, Hainsey has kept busy during the lockout by taking part in the ongoing talks with the NHL.

Bernard Tomic: A prodigy gone bad

We've come a long way from the days when the word "prodigy" as applied to a tennis player was the equivalent of a warning label. The game has poured forth a string of ambitious, exemplary, hard-working young stars since the Vancouver Canucks Jerseys heydays of a tormented Jennifer Capriati and a rebellious Andre Agassi. Rafael Nadal, rather than, oh, John McEnroe, is the role model now.


But thanks to Bernard Tomic, we may regress to those days when not all the headlines made by a young star were admirable. Tomic is a hot-blooded Aussie of Croatian extraction; he was born in Germany, cheap nfl authentic jerseys tghybhnvbn reaped the benefits of a supportive Australian tennis establishment (he grew up in Queensland) and now resides in Monte Carlo.


At 15, Tomic became the youngest player to win the Australian Open junior title. By 18, he was a Wimbledon quarterfinalist (in 2011). By 19 he was in trouble with the police. And by 20 (just weeks ago), he was kicked off the Australian Davis Cup team, partly because of his insolence but also because once again the police had to throttle him -- this time after a late-night fracas with someone described only as a "friend." I presume that's "former" friend.

Eye On Hockey top 50 players: 5-1

Since the NHL is still shut down due to the ongoing nfl jerseys cheap lockout, we're going to occupy some of your time by counting down the top 50 players in the NHL as decided by ... well ... me.


A number of factors went into the list, including overall production, advanced metrics (via BehindtheNet.ca), personal observation, all-around play and what kind of role they are asked to play by their coaches. Cheap Authentic Jerseys yhbnhnhnjk For example: If two players are similar in their production and are comparable in their style of play, the guy who is asked to face tougher competition or tougher assignments, among other factors, is probably going to get the edge.

Extreme cases don't diminish benefits of running

Marathons abound in the month of October from the Midwest to the Northeast to the mid-Atlantic. Running enthusiasts have plenty of races from to choose from most weekends, and sometimes multiple races. cheap nike nfl jerseys In order to answer the two most asked questions and comments to the column recently, it is necessary to address very small occurrences at the famed Chicago Marathon a few weeks ago.


Though over 35,000 runners ran the race, including many from Central New York, the news reports were dominated by a pregnant woman who gave birth just hours after the race. Readers asked whether I was for or against her cheap jerseys usa participation.

Tadese Wins Fifth World Half Title; Flanagan Onl

In hot, humid conditions in Kavarna, Bulgaria, Eritrea's Zersenay Tadese bolstered his claim as the greatest half marathoner in history with his fifth win at the IAAF World Half Marathon Championships. Ethiopia's Meseret Hailu won the women's title, while Shalane Flanagan struggled and was only the third American finisher.


Tadese, the world record holder in the event at 58:23, won the world half title four consecutive years, from 2006 to 2009, usually in dominating fashion. He got second behind Kenyan Wilson Kiprop in 2010, the year the event became an every-other-year title race. Today, Tadese ran like the Tadese of old--he broke the race open by running 13:44 for the 5 kilometers between 5K and 10K, and kept increasing his lead from there. He finished in, for him, a slowish 1:00:19, proof of the draining weather. Ethiopia's Deressa Chisma moved up into second between 15K and 20K, and took the silver in 1:00:51. Kenyan John Mwangangi was third in 1:01:01.

Chelsea Reilly Takes USA 10K Crown

Reilly was not the overall winner of the Tufts Health new nfl jerseys Plan 10K. Hellen Jemutai, a 34-year-old Kenyan, led all the way in 32:30, going through the first mile in 4:58. "No fooling around," Jemutai said afterward. "I just go for my race." Okay then. Jemutai raced yesterday's B.A.A. Half-Marathon and placed third in 1:13:35.

More Support For ‘Drink to Thirst’

In the past few years, there's been growing evidence that the conventional wisdom concerning dehydration and endurance performance is wrong. A new research review adds to that evidence, and provides more support for drinking to thirst as an adequate way to maintain performance in the heat.


For a long time we were told that performance starts to suffer after losing as little as 2% of bodyweight to dehydration. For a 150-pound runner, a 2% loss represents 3 pounds, or roughly 48 ounces. Some people can sweat that much in an hour under not terribly oppressive conditions; in weather like the Midwest is enjoying now, you could sweat that much on a slow 5-miler.
