Last Week Last Year: Complete Running and Athletes Against Doping

by | Last Year

Last weekend it was too hot to use the computer and I was otherwise occupied, so I never summed up the articles from the previous year.

  • The Complete Running Network was relaunched. My biggest complaint with my first impressions was that they had gotten rid of the running blog aggregater service, but that service returned a few months ago. The site held a launch contest, but they never announced who won.
  • I gave some reasons that running takes practice just like any other sport in response to an article published at Complete Running.
  • There were just shy of 300 finishers in the L/A Bridge Run, which I finally ran this year. Not surprisingly, Ethan Hemphill won both years.
  • I found the “Athletes Against Doping” website, which contains a lot of information about what substances are banned in each sport and who the governing bodies are. They have put a new theme in place since last year.
  • Two years ago, I explained what EPO was after the furor with Lance Armstrong brought it to attention. In more positive news, Kenenisa Bekele set the 10k world record with a time of 26:17.53.
