...canyons. One reason they haven't blazed across the competitive circuit is because our kind of running is really stupid and foreign to them. We bust out as fast as we can from gun to tape, and the Tarahumara don't do that. Humans are built for endurance, not speed. We're awful sprinters, compared to every other animal. We try to run our races as if they were speed races, but they are not. They're endurance races. Even a marathon, the way it's run now, it's not an endurance contest. But the Tarahumara do two things...
...tennis's evolution can be tricky, however. Conventional wisdom once held that more powerful racket frames led to the hard-serving power game of the late '90s. But a 1997 test by Tennis Magazine found that 6 ft. 5 in. (1.96 m) Australian Mark Philippoussis served at an average speed of 124 m.p.h. (200 km/h) with his own graphite racket, and an only slightly slower 122 m.p.h. (196 km/h) with a classic wooden racket...
...even as strings offer greater potential for spin, players need technique to fulfill that potential. As Miller says, "the most important factor in the generation of spin is racket speed."

A study published last year found that 90% of professionals could not feel a 6 lb. (2.7 kg) difference in the tension of strings in two different frames - even though most professionals insist on exacting string specifications for their matches...
...succeed, Caputo struggled with the decision to take a semester off for healing, but the all-star did not waste the time, working tirelessly to hit the ground running this past winter. Caputo credited work with the Crimson’s assistant coaches for getting him up to speed after the grappler was forced to sit for the summer.“I felt like I was working with a different body, a little less mobility,” Caputo said. “But this coach whipped me into shape. [When I competed again], it felt like...
...While the Crimson performed well in numerous events this season, the Battle of Beantown and the HYP meet proved to be the highlights of the indoor season. The Harvard men, just half a point behind Northeastern with only the 4x400-meter relay remaining, relied on the speed of freshman John Dingus, junior Justin Grinstead, junior Jonathan Meminger, and captain Derek Jones to pull off the stunning upset and capture the Beanpot trophy. “To go from fourth to all the way to the top this year is really exciting,” Saretsky said...
