The position that the CAS took [...]

Oscar Pistorius Has An Unfair Advantage (Again)

By on Friday, November 20th, 2009 | 3 Comments

You may recall a couple years ago when Oscar Pistorius was banned by the IAAF from competing because they felt that his prosthetics gave him an unfair advantage over people that still had both of their legs.

By on Sunday, July 20th, 2008 | 1 Comment

This week last year, I offered some advice on what to wear to a race to prevent “severing your leg at the thigh” from chafing. I tried to decide if it was worth running in an ultramarathon a few weeks before my next marathon. Ultimately, I decided that yes, it was a good idea. I [...]

This Week Last Year: Tempo Runs and Oscar Pistorius

By on Saturday, May 31st, 2008 | No Comments
