Links? Okay—I got yer links. I got yer links right here. This week: core conditioning, physiological differences between men and women (and not *those* differences), funny treadmill vids and more wallpapers. Dig in!
- Pete Pfitzinger - Training Information for Runners - Core Conditioning
A good set of core exercises—possibly familiar to those that have spent a hunk of time in the gym or with a trainer, possibly new to some. "Core" exercises have been *the* topic in fitness and personal training for quite some time—check these out!

More desktop wallpaper images from Runner's World. I only wish they had widescreen dimensions available for us Mac and cinema-dimensioned folk...
- Complete Guide to Essential Fatty Acids and Fish Oil | SpeedEndurance.com

Funny round-up of various athletic pursuits and their pros and cons.
- Sportsvite - organize a Running game, recruit for your Running team, and meet other Running players!
Sportsvite, the social site for athletes, has a Running section providing videos, articles and (of course) the opportunity to meet runners. Cool!

These folks produce running and training videos that you can use to improve your form and fitness. Interesting stuff!
- Charleston, SC Latest Features: Avoid running's 'seven deadly sins'
Good pointers on what *not* to do with your running form.
- The Internal Pigdog: Running Social
Brian Morrissey's blog is great, and am a huge fan of the various online ways of making running more social (Twitter, blogs, etc). Check out his FriendFeed room—a nice new addition to the mix.

Funny little self-assessment quiz to figure out where you fall in the running world.

A fun set of videos from CRN. And sure, having known Dan from OKGO for years now, the #1 vid holds a special place in my heart. But the shrimp may be my favorite...
- New SSPS-1 iPod and MP3 Speaker Headphones, Biking and Running Safety Outdoors
What do you guys think of these things? On the one hand, I see why they went through the trouble to invent them—earbuds and headphones are problematic for races and safety. But as far as sound quality and sound leakage (everyone around you will hear it), I'm not sure this is the right answer...
- Book Review: Runners’ Cookbook : Complete Running Network
A cookbook by runners for runners—a neat idea.
- So You Think You Can Dance - Robert Muraine
This was ridiculously entertaining. The song, the moves, the judge reactions, the ticket hand-off—awesome. A worthwhile watch (although I'd ignore the adolescent comments at the bottom...)

These are really great links. I like the one with the core workouts because that will be the subject of my next article—Abs, ugh. As for running, one of my goals is to start running…must add running to my routine, then swimming.
