Question for Personal Trainers and/or Endurance Athletes: What Professional or Scientific Journals do you read to stay up to date?

I am looking for some good professional and/or scientific journals dealing with fitness and I want to know what others out there are reading.

That's our new business model. The Reddit Journal of Squats'N'Oats.

Science Of Running is the page for running/endurance related articles worked with a scientific background, no assumptions of "tips of the day", the page is maintained by a man that is now the assistant of Alberto Salazar at Nike coaching the Elite marathoners for the US Olympic trials.

And the only other site of running I frequent is runblogger, this page is more relaxed, kept by an anatomy teacher turned serious runner and mostly focuses on very good running shoe reviews and running form; it tends to get sidetracked every so often, but the few good and reviews articles are worth it.

Check out brinkzone.com. There's some good stuff on there, particularly studies that debunk a lot of misconceptions in the supplement industry.

Roger's Athletic Strength Blog.

Mike Gittleson is regarded as the best NCAA Strength & Conditioning Coach ever. Had the chance to see him speak at the Michigan State Strength Clinic on Saturday, along with Dr. Ken Leisnter, Kim Wood (the very first NFL Strength Coach), Rock Oliver & Ted Lambrinides - University of Kentucky Strength Coaches.

Also, Bob Rogucki - head Strength Trainer of the Baltimore Ravens - took a handful of the MSU players through a Ravens workout.

(Actually thinking of doing a post on the clinic, if anyone's interested. Have some crappy photos but still pretty cool...)

Anyway, yeah, that blog. Check it out.
