Maybe it’s because I spent a good deal of my formative years in the 80′s with Run DMC playing on my Walkman, but I’ve always had really bland taste in workout footwear. How bland might you ask? Yup, that bland. I have a thing for my New Balance shoes, can you tell? Those 3 pairs [...]
Appears courtesy of Fast and Furious Fitness. As regular readers of my blog know, I was posted in China a few years ago. My last posting was in the U.S., and while I used to work out regularly in the US, and continued to do so when I came to China, for some reason, I [...]
Sprints are one of the best exercises that you can do, period. These are great! I don’t care if it’s bodyweight exercises, weight training routines, or a combination of the two – sprints need to make up a part of your routine. Note that when I say “sprint”, I mean “sprint” – not “run”, or [...]
Appears courtesy of JoggerMom. As a stroller veteran I can almost positively tell you that your house, vehicle or garage will be filled with at least 2 or 3 strollers all serving different purposes. As your baby gets older you see what works and does not work because quite frankly every stroller is great when [...]
Appears courtesy of Athlete at Heart. I love good writing. I love it when someone can be candid, personable, funny, and inspiring. I love it when a writer waxes poetic about the their everyday life and finds the deeper meaning hidden in simple events. I LOVE this book. Mile Markers: The 26.2 Most Important Reasons [...]
Appears courtesy of Living the Hike Life. I am a runner. Sometimes I love it sometimes I hate it, but running is a part of me. I love to push my body to its limits and see how far I can take it. I love to know that I can go outside and run for [...]
· You can do the math in your head to convert kilometers to miles and race finish times to minutes-per-mile faster than your friends can calculate them with a new iPad app. · You think of bad water as an epic race, not a beverage to avoid. · You think nothing of spending $30 on [...]
Many runners want to lose weight while running. For some, it’s a primary objective, while it’s a great secondary benefit for others. Regardless, it’s important that you approach weight loss while running carefully and with a specific plan in place. If you don’t balance your caloric intake with your caloric expenditure carefully, you won’t have [...]
Appears courtesy of Running With Perseverance. Welcome to my week 3 training log for the Army Ten Miler on October 9, 2011. (You can see how I did during week one here and week two here). My main goal for the ATM is to cross the finish line smiling, which is no small feat for [...]
Appears courtesy of High Cotton Livin’. In high school I ran. I wouldn’t call myself a runner since the only reason I was on the track team was to stay in shape for basketball. But I ran none the less. I enjoyed running. During my junior year in high school, after several bad sprained ankles [...]
Appears courtesy of Running With Perseverance. With less than 5 weeks to go before the Army Ten Miler, it’s time to get this party started! I’ve been holding off because of my nagging ITB issue and (probably related) piriformis issue, but now I’ve got to focus and do what I can. I also have to navigate through a 10-day, [...]
Appears courtesy of Kristy from KristyRuns. When I hit the 12 mile marker in the Publix Georgia Half Marathon last Sunday, my watch read 1 hour and 47 minutes. I was overwhelmed with excitement when I realized that I would achieve my goal of breaking 2 hours! It took some hard work and planning [...]
Appears courtesy of Heather from DietitianOnTheRun. Tempo-runs are typically something I tackle alone; I have a Target pace and a go-get-it mentality. I tuck in my earbuds, choose my “fast” songs, warm-up easy and then pick it up for each consecutive mile. This morning, I did things a little differently. The end result was a faster speed, [...]
Appears courtesy of Felice from TheHappyRunner. Have you heard? There’s a heat wave going on so it is hot. I know! It’s summer. And it’s hot! Go figure . . . Anyway, yesterday was really hot and — wouldn’t you know it — I had a 5 mile tempo run on the schedule. Before heading out [...]
Appears courtesy of Beki from WildChildGoneGood. Today I ran 10 miles. It was hard. My legs were tired. The last 3 miles were the hardest. I think I had a rock in my shoe. My side started cramping up in the last half mile. But I finished it. And I never doubted myself. Why do [...]
Appears courtesy of Megan from Watch MeGo Run. Over the past year I’ve become addicted to running and racing. In this time, I’ve noticed something about runners in general – we are tough on ourselves. Most (if not all) set extremely high expectations for our selves. We expect the world and then some and if [...]
Appears courtesy of Julie from PBFingers. When I first received a reader request to compile a list of my tips for new runners, I initially thought I’m not qualified to do that! As I’ve said before (and as you can see from my running story) I am by no means a gifted runner, but I [...]
Ladies, let me give you some advice: Do not fear post-baby running. It rocks. Here’s my post of proof. On Saturday, on a course that is known to be a tough one for setting PRs, I ran an awesome race. I ran my fastest 5K ever. Ever. People, my baby is not yet 8 months old. I [...]
Appears courtesy of Bekah from RunTrackMind. The other day I was having a conversation with one of the sales reps that I work with who is also a runner. Obviously the first subject of any conversation we have starts with, “how goes the running”? He recently moved into a new territory and relocated his family [...]
Appears courtesy of Online Running Gear. When you’re in a big city, the daily stress and rushing about never seems to end. But you might be surprised to hear that, even in the busiest cities like New York City, many take advantage of the early morning hours to put on their best running socks and [...]
Appears courtesy of Courtney from SweetToothSweetLife. Today was the day… I officially started my training for the Boilermaker 15K! I’m so glad that Tina introduced me to SmartCoach, which is where I put together this exact plan. The site is awesome, and if you’re looking for a plan of your own, it’s definitely worth checking [...]
Appears courtesy of Tara from Dashing In Pearls. Over the last few weeks I’ve been thinking about what I have learned while my half marathon training and wanted to share with you! I hope these things help you out! 1. I should have allowed myself more time to train. I started in December and couldn’t even run [...]
