Get More From Parkour

My experience has lead me to believe that it's better to run for longer periods rather than at faster speeds, when evading the undead...this is both correct and false. While I will concede that bursts of speed can get you out of a jam in a hurry, it's important to say that it's a hollow feat if you end up gasping for air after only 50 yards. I still believe that "Cardio is King" but have grown to immensely appreciate the results from adding even just a small amount of speed training to my routine...

...then there's parkour.

Think of this French-created, running sport as marathon sprinting in 3D. The speed and flexibility discipline of parkour has grown into a worldwide fitness phenomenon that has tracuers and tracuesses for all ages. The group at American Parkour, is a great place to start, with lots of information to get you going and I recommend they be your first stop on your way to opening a new world of fitness.
