CROSSING THE FINISH: ATHLETE Director Dave's Blog

Here's a deleted scene from a March 2007 interview I did with Hodgkin's lymphoma cancer survivor, Jenny, filmed at Asphalt Green in NYC.




Defy pain.

With Lance Armstrong officially back on the bike at the Tour Down Under in Australia (which coincides with the start of his foundation's global cancer initiative), it's only fitting that this week's ATHLETE outtake features his longtime coach and founder of Carmichael Training Systems (CTS), Chris Carmichael. CTS is a company that trains both elite and everyday athletes in a variety of endurance sports. In this 30-second clip, Carmichael talks about the everyday athlete and CTS' mission.

Was at the newsstand today and picked up the following:

1. Women's Running
Don't normally read women's magazines (I swear), but was interested in checking out this new running publication for women. I think spending two years on a documentary featuring three female triathletes -- not to mention meeting and interviewing pro runners Kathrine Switzer, Paula Radcliffe and Magdalena Lewy-Boulet -- has given me a greater appreciation for the female athlete.

The articles in Women's Running seem to really gear towards the everyday athlete, which is great. There's even a section profiling everyday female runners in their 20's, 30's and 40's.

2. Outside
Haven't read Outside in years. Probably not since Armstrong was on the cover during his sixth or seventh Tour de France.

3. Runner's World
Hands down my favorite cover of the three (sorry Lance). Track and field star Lolo Jones. Wow. Enough said.
