Jamie Milne Training: Why Run A Marathon?

Why run a marathon? I mean why even run full stop? Isn't it for mature adults? Over 60's? Or People desperately trying to lose weight and tailor in their birthday suits?

The catalyst for me, besides the actual awesomeness of simply traveling under your own steam, is something commonly attempted, which I like to do uncommonly well.

Running is a very powerful fusion of an aerobic and anaerobic antidepressant, created purely by donning your favourite fluro rubber-clad runners. Scurrying, striding or running swiftly wherever the moment may take you.

It’s like regularly going on a far out exploratory adventure; new horizons, new adventures experiences and emotions. You will often find numerous perspectives　and historically certain individuals may allegedly take alcohol or drugs for this self-centered journey, now a days you can just run.

Running brings challenges of various difficulties and degrees, this stands to be a large draw card for many and the cornerstone of my personal intrigue.

The peculiar thing about running, or journey running as I like to call it, is that longer distances and cumulative mileage creates an ever changing and ever evolving amazing journey.

It almost ALWAYS happens. In your own body, and within your very own mind.

Could there really be anything else more breath-taking and life changing?

You get to embark on a voyage to places where many others have never ever been, in which people fantasize about it but will never know how.

The cost? Nothing! A little discomfort, matched with a little of your time, in beautiful exchange for physiological unease and a potent injection of spiritual ecstasy.

Training for Ultra Marathons, or even just running with no purpose at all, reminds me the good days and the good times are always coming.

When you arrive to see one of the highly qualified practitioners, you will be invited to relax in the waiting area until your appointment begins.

Paul's Body Engineering: The Growth of Online Coaching

The latest trend sweeping the globe in the Health and fitness Industry is the mass growth of online fitness coaching.

Often you will see advertisements across social media for online coaching packages and transformation challenges. But what do you really get without face to face contact?

Well having made myself available as an online coach, I can attest there is a great amount of benefit too it.

If you are time poor, work away, don't have a gym membership or don't want one, are just some of the markets that can be attracted to this style of coaching.

It is also generally cheaper than face to face and the good online coaches will be available online at the drop of a hat to answer your questions or provide feedback on your progress.

Obviously to this upside there is a downside with many taking advantage of this movement in coaching and offering substandard advice and training.

As a coach and recognised PT, my advice would be to do your research.

Check their website, social media platforms and reviews. Ensure they are insured and registered and are who they say they are.

Another way is to view their results. If it is weight loss you are after, ask to see previous clients results. If it is bodybuilding or size you are chasing, request photos of previous clients. The greatest marketing tool an online coach has is photos.

A good online coach will have before and after photos of all their clients (with their permission of course) to be used down the track to prove their worth.

Bad advice, in person or not, can have long lasting negative effects to your health and fitness so choosing the right trainer or coach is an important decision.

There is a lot out there now, and its not just locally based. you can source well renowned coaches from all over the world.

In my opinion, face to face is a much more rewarding and satisfying experience and will get you your results sooner, however if you do fall into one of the categories listed above then online coaching and still being accountable to someone may in fact do you the world of good.

Final tips when seeking out an online coach.

1. Check their website

2. Check there social media pages and reviews

3. Ensure they are insured and registered

4. Source result photos

They can promise everything under the sun but when its time to deliver, fall well short of these promises so be confident in the decision you make.

Accelerate Health and Performance: Why You Should (Probably) Throw Out Your Scales

Scales: A device used to measure a person's weight.

Weight: The amount of gravity acting upon a body at any one time.
Gravity: The force that attracts a body towards the centre of the earth.

Right...now that we've cleared that up what the hell does it all mean!?

As a society we have a bit of a pre-occupation with putting on and losing weight. What that means far more literally is that we're obsessed with increasing and more often than not reducing the amount of gravity that acts upon our body at any one time.

WHY? Are you spending too much time within the Earth's atmosphere?

The truest definition of what we think we are talking about is our MASS...The amount of matter within an object...but even then that's kind of vague and potentially as irrelevant as the Kardashian's should be.

A persons weight or their mass is really only relevant in a health or fitness context when it comes to sporting performance and in sports with weight categories or when an anaesthetist is figuring out the dosage required to knock you out. Weight and Mass are not necessarily indicators of health or fitness at all.

WHAT!? What did he say? HOW DARE HE!? Who does this bloke think he is? THEY USE SCALES ON THE BIGGEST LOSER!!!

Well...I'm the bloke that is trying to change the way the world thinks one person at a time and I'm starting with YOU!

While a larger weight or mass can be linked to poor health until we have a lot more information let's call a spade a two handed digging tool with a wooden handle and broad, flat, metal scoop and say what your weight/mass really is...it is nothing more than a number! The number on your scales doesn't explain what's really going on inside. Blood pressure, resting heart rate, cardio-vascular capacity, musculo-skeletal integrity, cholesterol levels, body composition, veinous return...hell the colour of your skin can give away more than a number on a set of scales more half the time.

Sceptical? Consider this...

If you weigh 65kg here on Earth with no negative health indicators through any other method of testing and then went into space what would the number on the scales say? Answer: ZERO. What changes would being in space make to your other health indicators? ZERO.

So what does this mean? That we're healthier in space because we weigh less? Let's see...

If you weighed 165kg and have high blood pressure, poor veinous return, clogged arteries and worse cholesterol than Elvis and were then sent to space how much would you weigh then? That's right...ZERO. And what change would there be in your blood pressure, veinous return, clogged arteries and cholesterol? Answer: ZERO. You'd still be a walking heart attack.

Still want more convincing? Ladies...if you were healthy under all key indicators, looked like Miranda Kerr (or whoever you're super jealous of) and the number on the scales said 7 Billion kg's would you care? No...you'd still be a babe! Boys...your turn...if you were healthy under all key indicators, looked like Ryan Reynolds (or whoever you have a man crush on but are too ashamed to admit it...but let's be honest, it's Ryan Reynold's) and weighed 9 Billion kg's...or on the other end of the scale 12kg's what would it matter? ZILCH.

#mancrusherrrrryday

Think body composition! Think bone density! Think lean muscle mass! Think reduced subcutaneous fat (fat directly beneath the skin)! Think cardio-vascular capacity! Think energy levels! Think how well you sleep! Think a low level of cholesterol and balance of LDL's and HDL's! And finally think of putting the scales where they belong...
