Functional Path Training: No Positives!

Functional Path Training

The Functional Path is a path that had been traveled many times before but had fallen out of use in favor of smoother paved roads that promised faster and easier results. Seeking to follow and better define the functional path is a continuing journey, fortunately it is a journey that many have traveled before. Functional Path training is getting back to the basics of movement. It is learning to tune into the body and it’s inherent wisdom to produce rhythmic flowing movement.

No Positives!

Truly amazing, at the conclusion of competition in the World Track & Field championships there have been no positive drug tests announced. That leads me to think one of two things: 1) The outlaws are ahead of the law again 2) There is another cover-up – if in doubt throw the piss down the toilet! You draw you own conclusions but if you think of it from a pure statistical viewpoint to have no positives given the number of athletes competing is almost impossible. Sorry for the cynicism but I have been there before.
