Advice on tapering
Posted by Pete McBreen
Athletes and coaches are beginning to realise that reducing the training load before a major race pays dividends. They are also realising that in the monthly training cycle it pays to have an “easy” week. But, just how best to do this is a matter of much debate.
Parkour training for silent running
Posted by Pete McBreen
When learning how to do Parkour, training efficient and fluid movements to overcome obstacles is very important to be graceful and artistic. And silence plays a key role in all this, specifically in being efficient. The amount of impact which is adsorbed by your movement can be determined by how little sound you make.
A loud and heavy landing is obviously different and easily noticed from a quiet and soft landing and often one can tell a beginner from a experienced practitioner by the amount of noise produced during their movement. Silence equals a good Traceur.

Parkour or Free Running
Posted by Pete McBreen
The word “Parkour” is derived from the French “parcours” which roughly translates to “obstacle course”. Much like the term for a practitioner of parkour “Traceur” is formed from the Parisian slang “Tracer” which means “Hurry” and the actual French term “traceur” which means to “leave a trail”…
