Blogs by Elite/Famous Runners Courtesy of Runner’s World
May 9, 2007 | Tags: Elite Running
Runner’s World recently got into the blogosphere with some fine blogs written by elite athletes and people close to the elites. Check out blogs by:
- Meb Keflezighi
- Deena Kastor
- Dean Karnazes (this one’s an old blog that chronicles Dean’s 50 in 50 milestone)
- Kirstin Armstrong’s Mile Markers (Lance Armstrong’s ex-wife). Edit: Thomas correctly pointed out Kirstin is not an elite runner. Of course, I know that - I goofed in the editing of the title for this article which was supposed to include a reference to “Famous” people involved with running.
- Amby Burfoot’s Footloose

How can you count Kirstin Armstrong as en elite runner???
My bad. When I started writing this piece, I started with the title, “Elite and Famous Runner Blogs”. Kirsten is close to a famous person who runs.
I HATE Kristin Armstrong.
The ONLY reason anyone even knows her name is because of who she married. Her first three articles in Runner’s World had a line similar to “When I was married to Lance…”. Talk about milking someone else’s fame.
And then she wrote that article about running a marathon.
Yeah, how hard was it, Kristin? You had two personal training buddies that set up your entire race plan for you and came and got you every day when it was time to run. They set your pace, told you when and how far to run. Did they tell you when to pee? A million other runners have run a marathon without the level of support you had, Kristin. Their marathon story should be in the magazine, not Lance’s ex-wife’s story.
Everytime I see her articles in RW I rip the page out. Rodale’s totally jumped the shark when they hired her in as a writer.
