Even when we say that we’re just hoping to finish strong most runners do have a (potentially super secret) time goal in mind. For some races though it’s all about that one time goal like when you’re looking to Boston Qualify. It is only natural to have a goal in mind after spending literally months... Continue Reading →
It’s pretty simple really just make sure to wake up facing directly east every single morning, drink a matcha and kale smoothie twice a day and dine primarily on fresh, homemade sushi. Nah … it’s way easier than that. For a long, long, long time I ran but I low key hated it. I liked... Continue Reading →
Let’s start off here by saying none of these pieces of advice are bad or wrong. Not in the least but they aren’t the best advice for every runner out there all of the time. I was thinking about this the other day on my long run as I was walking a very sharp turn... Continue Reading →
For a long, long time I was not an injured runner. Sure I had twinges, tweaks and flares along the way but I never really dealt with a true injury until 2016. Then when it hit it was serious and it hit hard! Three seasons have come and gone since then and I think that... Continue Reading →
Now this one is going to be running specific so like the movies any similarity to other sports is entirely unintentional unless you found it helpful. If that’s the case I meant to do it on purpose then. Runners, even those that claim to have loved it often times find themselves lapsed. Maybe they get... Continue Reading →
If you’ve been around here for a while now you’ll know that when I train for a big event, yes the big one of the year, it rains on race day. We’re not talking a gentle drizzle either! Both halfs I’ve run have been during heavy rainfall warnings and that olympic this year during the... Continue Reading →
This post was actually inspired by some kinda crappy cyclists on the trail but I figured runners might need a hand too and the cycling portion will be here on Wednesday, swimmers you’re on your own! Now there are lots of other posts out there on this sort of thing but all we’re missing something... Continue Reading →
The weird thing is I didn’t expect to learn anything the second time around. I thought I got this, sameish plan and do what you did last time. Nothing to learn here right? Well not exactly, life always has a lesson or two for us. So here it is and this time it’s mostly tips... Continue Reading →
This is not sponsored it’s just a rave! After every runner buys sneakers their very next purchase should be road ID. It’s cheap, high quality, lasts a lifetime and might just help save your life. We all buy things we hope we never need, insurance (used the hell out of that already this year), smoke... Continue Reading →
Yeah, yeah, yeah dress in layers, 10 degrees warmer, warm up inside and don’t fall right? Well this year I think I’ll be jumping into training mode in late February, Brrr. Will it ever be spring/fall running, no, but if you know what you’re doing it’s not that bad. Mostly I have tips for you... Continue Reading →
