    Wildthings

    Wildthings By Skedaddle I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately, that we are the wildlife, not separate from it. The question is how do we connect to our natural state in a modern society that wants to sanitise wild places and manicure wilderness? To understand what it means to be a...

    Anyone follow a ketosis diet plan?

    I'm just curious if anyone's had any success with a keto diet. I don't need to loose weight, it's more about burning fat as fuel for LSD runs. I'm also not aiming to run fast it's more about the distance. Thanks

    Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS)?

    I've been doing short sprints up some fairly steep inclines lately, but a few days later my glutes and to some extent my calves get quite sore. I'm not a 'no pain, no gain' type of guy but I do like to challenge myself from time to time to keep things interesting. Is DOMS anything to worry...
