T-Nation has probably been the single biggest impact on my training life. The way for me to get motivation is to become a geek in my chosen field, and T-Nation has helped me do this.
Before I had no motivation to train, now I can’t stay away from the gym. All thanks to T-Nation.
However, endurance cardio training is still really boring to me, so I guess I have to geek out on that too.
So, do you guys know of an analogue to T-Nation in that world? Ie something that is elitist, somewhat on the fringe, irreverent, and non-tolerant of bullshit.
www.slowtwitch.com is a forum for triathletes. I dunno if I’d consider the majority of the members there irreverent though. There is certainly a knowledgeable group though.

Nice! What kind of ideas are considered “fringe” in the endurance community, similar to how certain things T-Nation says are fringe in the BB/strength community (at least compared to what the mainstream believes)?

Dean Karnazes did 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 consecutive days. When he finished the NYC marathon he ran back to where he started the first marathon in St. Louis. Fringe?
