Ice Runner Strength Has Moved!

Big changes have been happening in the Ice Runner Strength world, y’all! One of those being that I’ve moved the site from WordPress.com hosting to my own hosting. This was a much needed move in order to better optimize and customize the site for the direction I want Ice Runner Strength to take in the future.  It’s now 10 times easier to sign up for the newsletter, the site has a slightly new-and-improved look, and there’s a billion more things I can now do with the site that I couldn’t do before with my old hosting solution, which will benefit everyone as we move forward.

FYI, the website address is still the same: you can still find Ice Runner Strength @ www.icerunnerblog.com. So if you now find yourself here at icerunnerblog.wordpress.com, just head on over to the new site. It’s still the same great Ice Runner Strength content you’ve come to know and love but at a newer, hipper place! If you’re a follower of the blog, no action is required as your subscription has been transferred over to the new site. 

Thanks for your patience and thank you all for your support as we take Ice Runner Strength to the next level!

13 Competitions & Sports You Should Try

In 5 Ways Everyone Can Benefit From Competing, I gave you 5 reasons how your life can be positively enhanced from regular competitive experiences. Today, I’ll provide you specific examples of a variety of sports and competitive events in which pretty much anyone can compete in. All of the sports below contain women’s divisions, have weight classes, and many hold Master’s competitions for athletes over 50.  For the disabled, there are also many organizations for adaptive sports in some of the sports below.  For the ultra-competitive, opportunities exist in most sports listed below to go Pro or to reach a highly competitive level (with some awesome prize money).  There truly is something for everyone.

The categories below include strength sports, endurance, hybrid, and physique.  Many of the events listed require and develop many aspects of athleticism and fitness: stamina, balance, coordination, endurance (depending on the sport), and of course, in keeping with the spirit of the blog, strength is integral to all those listed below. Let’s get to it!
