Rosswog Running Blog

Great runs this week :). I'm interested to know about how to get stronger arms. I have never had arm strength, but I was thinking arm strength might help my running form and such. Do you have a site you look to for advice, Ross or do you just use your own?

Sorry Benn, I'm terrible at weightlifting and pretty much all of the lifting exercises that I know of are leftover from my high-school basketball days. I have and need to do a better job of adopting the core exercises from Runner’s World into my routine (i.e., as you know, the core is the biggest constraint to running faster and further). However, I keep the curls and reverse curls in my routine with the idea that I might eventually work in swimming in order to tryout a triathlon. With that said, my swimming skills are beyond terrible; therefore, the idea of completing a triathlon is currently just a daydream.

Anyways, I'm glad to hear your hip is feeling a little bit better (way to pull out the Vibrams) and the quotes on your blog are great; especially the one that states, "Exercise is for people who can't handle drugs and alcohol."
