Being involved in endurace sports for around 30 years now I have seen more than a few changes take place. In the early 80′s it seemed like there were more 10K races than 5Ks, speedos were the only tri suits, there were no powermeters, and nothing was done online.
The one thing that has remained constant is the growth of endurace sports. More and more people are getting involved every year.
It seems like all these new people in the sports have the funny idea that they should know what they are doing and whats going on around them. Come to think of it I wish I knew what I was doing 30 years ago. Then again I may not have done most of it if I knew better.
Thats where the idea of this magazine springs from. We want to teach and inform athletes and potential athletes. Some of the things we have planned are articles on training, racing, nutrition, and just some fun stuff. Reviews will include equipment, races, and anything else we may want to test. There will of course be race calanders.
This magazine in a work in progress and any input would be appreciated. I have even put the question out on the forum www.headfirstmag.lefora.com
So here we go with another adventure Headfirst Magazine.
