Olympic Trials, 9:15 am, April 3rd, 2004. Magda flies through mile 23 at a blistering 5:45 minute-per-mile pace, a speed most of us reserve for sprinting.

It’s a dream she never thought possible as a kid growing up in Poland....

Everyone wants a picture with Old Faithful. But what many tourists don’t realize is that the hot springs and geysers of Yellowstone National Park are a constant reminder that 12 to 30 miles beneath the surface, there’s still an active volcanic system. And the Yellowstone Caldera, the expanse of supervolcano surface that takes up most of the park, is moving. Researchers from the U.S. Geological Survey published an article about Yellowstone’s uplift in January in the Journal of Geological Research—Solid Earth....

He’s also successfully competed all over the world in NASCAR, IndyCar racing, CART racing, rally car racing and his self-created series, Stadium Super Truck racing. But from now on, Gordon is no longer able to race in Australia. That’s because over the weekend, 48-year-old Gordon decided to take his Stadium Super Truck onto the streets of Darwin, Australia for some donuts....

New Year New You doesn’t have to start and stop at working out. You can switch things up in all manner of ways. Changing up how you dress can be a big ego boost and give you the needed drive to keep changing other things in life. It’s pretty easy to make those aesthetic changes when the sales at Macy’s are as good as they are on this gorgeous INC Elite Turtleneck Sweater....

By Jim Baird An epic road trip awaits you if you decide to drive to Stony Rapids Saskatchewan to paddle one of the province’s rugged northern rivers. But because the route includes several hours on a remote, and bumpy gravel road, you’ll want to be prepared. In the video, I cover what to bring when driving a lonely northern road like this. Tori, Buck and I also get onto a floatplane which transports us off the road system, and leaves us near the wilderness border between Northern Saskatchewan, and the Northwest Territories....

What ever happened to travel agents? Previous generations gladly handed the reins to an expert, who’d book the flights, handle accommodations, and probably even highlight the best roads to take in a rented car (that they coordinated, of course). But the internet more or less eradicated the need. In order to view the video, please allow Manage Cookies Every experience is one search away, and we’re all too eager to book the first thing we see without consulting any professionals or locals....

Since becoming a professional skater in 1982, Tony Hawk has helped bring the sport to mainstream prominence, through his amazing tricks, his best-selling video game, and medal-winning performances at the X Games.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to train for superhero strength and ability, take a look at the life of an Olympic sprinter. These athletes are the total package: strength, power, speed, and explosiveness, all wrapped up into a lean, mean, running machine. What does it really take to compete on the national stage when all you see on TV are sub-10-second races? Honestly: It’s not fun. Most elite-level sprinters train about 20 hours a week for races that are just seconds long, with just slivers of seconds separating Olympic gold medalists from also-rans....

Sponsored Advertising Content Whether you are looking to build size, improve strength or develop explosive speed, it all starts with a well-designed program that is flawlessly executed. While the execution is up to you, the rest is left to your body and its desire to take the punishment, convert the fuel you consume, and create an outcome that leaves your competition in the dust. Muscle development is a well-understood process involving regular bouts of specific exercise that when performed properly, induces a marginal and tolerable level of damage that repairs and rebuilds so that it is bigger and stronger than before....

Skipping meals to save calories is a sure-fire way to tank your metabolism and sabotage weight loss. Condense those food-free time periods to set intervals, however, and watch the fat melt away. That’s the principle behind the diet method known as intermittent fasting. Unlike many popular diets, intermittent fasting has the backing of scientific research (including a massive 2017 study analysis by the International Society of Sports Nutrition), which suggests that intermittent fasting is just as effective as daily calorie restriction—sometimes better—at improving body composition....

He’s played a CIA agent, a mountaineer, and Ted Kennedy. On the eve of his new film, Pet Sematary, we chat with Jason Clarke about car racing, wave chasing, and candy-as-fuel. BEING FROM AUSTRALIA, I love being in nature—climbing, backpacking for weeks. I used to chase adrenaline, but after having two kids, I’m not a lunatic anymore. But I still race cars.
