Video: Want to see what an ultra situated in a park in Sweden looks like?

and here’s another video of some guys in France (?) on some sweet trails.

We can always depend on the Japanese to make some very strange inventions.

Can we get over the Kinesio-tape trend now? I guess I see it more in shorter distance folks.

Timmy Olsen: Listen to your damn body.

Based on yesterdays Southern Oz pics, listener Ethan sent some more pics of Tasmania with a heads up to this 82k race through the beautiful Tasmanian wilderness. Yes, please, just as long as I don’t have to touch Foster’s.  Ack.
