Wow!  There’s a lot of good reading out there on the health & fitness front.  I can’t comment on all of it but I’ll refer you to several articles that may pique your interest.  I’ll get back to recovery strategies for endurance athletes later.

    All this time I never really put my finger on it: 7th and 8th grade PE class with Mrs. Duck. I’ve never liked sports or exercise since then. Now you know.

      I think it makes a lot of sense. I’m aware of an effort to offer a different version of PE where the activities aren’t always win-or-lose athletic competitions. Kids participate in things like indoor rock climbing or skateboarding; or they’re shown how to use exercise equipment. The kids with a drive to play competitive sports will filter towards those sports one way or the other. I don’t know how much traction this new PE ever got, but it sounds like a good way to engage kids in exercise without making them lose out.
