    In my last post I shared the slidedeck from my presentation at the Rice Speed Symposium. A couple days ago I was lucky enough to present at another high level seminar. This one was for the coaches of the NY Road Runners Club (the organization responsible for organizing the NY Marathon and various health, running, and fitness related initiatives among other things). Here are my slides from that presentation in which I address several hot button issues in running and fitness and dispel some persistent myths within our field. Thanks in part to some of the viewers on ELITETRACK, my last presentation slidedeck was awarded the presentation of the day on slideshare.net. If you find this one useful please tweet about it or share the presentation on Facebook using the icons at the bottom of the presenter screen.
