Running uphill for extended periods is grossly inefficient. Even elite ultra runners usually don't run uphill (but they can walk uphill faster than most people can run).
Back on topic, someone broke into Allie Long's hotel room and stole her wedding ring, cash, and her key to NYC: https://www.espn.com/soccer/fifa-wom...om-burglarized
Fucking savages.

Try to add some strength work to that schedule - only once in a while - and you'll be well on your way. Could be a gym, could be just some work with some resistance bands, could be body weight - just for 20 minutes is enough to make a difference. 2-3 times per month will be worth it.
In Boulder there's a place called Revo which knows their shit for sure. They have a pretty incredible youtube channel showing tons of exercises/therapies. Start with this one for lower body (it's focused on runners but good for cyclists too.) Then add a few crunches, some push ups, some pull ups, or just some upper body bandwork like lumberjacks, and you are in and out in 20 minutes. If you can get up to 30 hard minutes 1 time per week - even at home - it will change your body for sure. But even 3 times per month for 20 minutes will help a lot.

Also, first someone stole Daniel Sturridge's dog, now they took Allie Long's wedding ring and NYC key. WTF? I'd say Neymar's earrings are next...

Prob I had with “golf as fitness” - way too many drinking opportunities.
My golf bag has a cooler
There is a drink shack at the 4th and 14th hole
And a clubhouse you pass twice
And a cute girl in a cart driving around with more drinks.
I just didn’t have the stamina. Good thing I used to bike to the course

The ladies are celebrities now. They need to take safety precautions until the fever fades.

Alpine Meadows has snow golf in the spring but unfortunately it's all downhill and you only get one club.
Walking uphill--on a mountain if one is handy, on a treadmill if it isn't--is excellent cardiovascular exercise. I had to quit running about 5-6 years ago because of my back. I kept riding a bike but it wasn't as good for my heart and lungs, probably because I didn't push it hard enough. Then my doc wanted me to get a stress test. I thought no way will walking on a treadmill get my heart rate up to 80% of max. A couple of degrees of incline and rapid walking and my HR got up there in about 5 minutes. Felt great. I've realized that long, all day hikes are great for endurance but a few miles steep and fast is a lot better for my wind. Also, if there are any fellow back sufferers around, walking uphill is a lot easier on the back then level and especially downhill. I can walk faster up than down these days.

The drives aren't the problem, the putts don't move at all.
Sent from my Pixel XL using TGR Forums mobile appI've concluded that DJSapp was never DJSapp, and Not DJSapp is also not DJSapp, so that means he's telling the truth now and he was lying before.

disagree. lavelle's game is very unique in that she has creativity and views the game differently and actually plays defense. the men's team desperately needs this type of player. she can score but her role is that of a playmaker. one of the reasons usa wasn't overly concerned about rapinoe being unavailable for the semi vs. england is press will actually track back against england's bronze who continually pushed forward. bronze would have made a much bigger impact if rapinoe played. that being said, rapinoe was absolutely clutch as making penalties isn't as easy as some seem to think. its far more mental than anything. regarding heath, she is very skillful but at times, dribbles without a purpose as shown in the final.
would agree walking 18 isn't nothing, but never climbed 3-4k' golfing, and most certainly never saw a backcountry skier drunk halfway through a tour. not an accurate comparison imo

Yeah, I know it's not entirely fair. Though I'd wager a large percentage of the drunk people on golf courses are in a cart or at least have a hand cart.
And if there were bars every 1000 vertical feet while out skiing, there'd be more drunk backcountry skiers."fuck off you asshat gaper shit for brains fucktard wanker." - Jesus Christ

Sometimes the difference in fitness and activity between various older people is due to motivation and hard work or the lack of it, but a lot of the time it's in the genes. People slow down because they don't work out, but they also stop working out because it gets too hard and/or painful. One thing that often happens is that someone gets hurt or gets sick--over 65 more or less recovery takes longer and longer and is often incomplete, no matter how hard someone works at it.
Makes sense

As Dwight Jaynes pointed out four years ago after the U.S. women beat Japan to capture the World Cup in Vancouver, there is a big difference in the revenue available to pay the teams. The Women's World Cup brought in almost $73 million, of which the players got 13%. The 2010 men's World Cup in South Africa made almost $4 billion, of which 9% went to the players.
The men still pull the World Cup money wagon. The men's World Cup in Russia generated over $6 billion in revenue, with the participating teams sharing $400 million, less than 7% of revenue. Meanwhile, the Women's World Cup is expected to earn $131 million for the full four-year cycle 2019-22 and dole out $30 million to the participating teams.

As far as I know FIFA doesn’t break up how much they make for men’s and women’s World Cup, so I’m not sure where you get those numbers.
Plus, breaking it out that way ignores the bigger issues with the pay gap: namely that most countries aren’t investing money into their women’s programs. The fact the places like Brazil and Argentina have women on their teams that are not full-time athletes tells you everything you need to know.
People who complain about the level of play or the talent disparity should be demanding more equal investment in players and coaches and training facilities.
Finally, the world wide numbers have nothing to do with the US, where the women’s World Cup outpaced ratings and jersey sales of the last men’s World Cup.

Interesting point about the fact that other nations probably aren't outspending the US with regard to WNT investment. Might not be as successful if more of the nations had full time women's programs instead of part timers. Guessing the big four or five in Europe do field full time pros though.
Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!

i have never understood why people get upset at what entertainers make. athletes are not important or role models.

you mean have you talked to their parents? lol
no i haven't ever talked to a kid that is really into sports. mine are not and I don't talk to that many kids
your attitude is the whole problem. kids should be taught sports people aren't role models. i did
in my opinion sports have fucked up kids more than they have benefited kids
i have quietly asked around in my community does anyone know of a kid that got a scholarship for sports. the answer is almost universally no. the coaching I had in hockey was abysmal and I still hate baseball to this day from the twat coaches I had in little league
