Running... the leading edge of technology

I just had to laugh when I read this article. To summarize, the coach of England's soccer team is blaming their less than stellar performance in the World Cup on over-training. In order to combat this, they are going to try and track training load using "the latest technology including GPS and miniaturized accelerometers". I read this sentence, then read it again... so they're going to give them all Garmins?!? I mean, seriously, runners have been tracking their "training load" for years... the English soccer team hasn't been?!? Wait until they find out about heart rate monitors! #20
