Goji Berries - The new wonder food?

Here at BlackHeart Events, we spend a lot of time on the road, and it always amazing me that when I reach for the bag of "Natural Confectionary", Amanda goes reaching for the Goji berries.  So, what the heck are Goji berries, and what's the attraction?

Every year it seems there is an ultimate well being silver bullet proliferating on health food store shelves promising amazing benefits. GOJI or Chinese Wolfberry is one of a number of adaptogens with the added attraction of being derived from an exotically originated Tibetan location (great for marketing hype).

Still raining? Try some Bike circuit training!

Enduring road and MTB training in sub zero conditions day in day out is enough to make you either take up lawn bowls or start thinking of effective alternatives.

There is no doubting the efficacy of this treatment although time to relief may be counted in the weeks rather than days.

Strength training and bone health

I was prompted to explore the wear and tear issues associated with bone mass upon hearing of yet another 40 something athlete having a hip replaced. Unless you have been astral traveling while reading this site you will have worked out by now that we are strong advocates of strength training for endurance athletes. Actually, we are also passionate about the more sedentary members of the wider populace incorporating strength training into their daily lives.
