So you've run the Marine Corps Marathon, the Chicago Marathon, the New York Marathon and even the Flying Pig Marathon, but now you're looking for something a little different. Although running a marathon anywhere is a unique experience in the scope of life's experiences, some marathons add to the interest by virtue of their location and courses. Take, for example, the Marathon du Medoc. It features a show before the…

So you're feeling old and tired and like maybe you should hang up the running shoes. As if!

I don't know how many other Californians take Patriots' Day off, but I'll be camped out in front of the television instead of at my desk.
Once again the Versus network will be broadcasting the Boston Marathon live on Patriots' Day, April 21, from 9:30 to 12:30 Eastern time, with a rebroadcast at 4 p.m. Eastern.
I'm a latecomer to watching marathons and other track and field events on TV. I have…
Gertrude Stein once famously said that the answer is there ain’t no answer. Recently the trainees in the Reebok Training Program for the SunTrust National Marathon, held in Washington, D.C., on March 29, had the benefit of having two premier marathoners speak to them about training. Stein’s truism came to mind while listening to these two elite athletes bestow their wisdom on the assembly of mostly-novice runners…
Read a couple of issues of any running periodical and you're bound to pick up the sport's basic training principles: get your shoes from a running store, alternate hard and easy days, and don't forget to stretch. Lately, however, I've seen more articles taking on these hoary truisms. Last week the New York Times surveyed the literature on stretching and found a wide range of conclusions.
I'll Get…
Wednesday is track day for me. Intervals, anaerobic intensity and intense pain are the order of the day. This particular day however, I was running late and didn’t get to the track early enough. A 500 meter warm up jog for the 6 x 400 meter repeats at 75 seconds didn’t quite work. Leading on interval number 5, I felt a twinge in my left hamstring 180 meters out…
We will be doing some maintenance and upgrading and therefore will not be posting articles over the next couple of days.
You may experience connection problems during the next few days. Not to worry - these will resolve themselves shortly.

Runner’s high: the idea that endorphins released during endurance activities cause a person to feel exceptionally happy— euphoric, even. Is it fact or fiction? Truth or fabrication? Some people swear they get it. Others shrug off the notion incredulously. Despite an air of mystery surrounding the phenomenon, others still cross their fingers and hold out hope that they might eventually feel it. Now researchers are starting to obtain results that…
It's March, so that can only mean two things: warmer running weather and the NCAA College Basketball Tournament. Two of our very own RBFers have teamed together to bring you a March Bracket Buster Pool with several hundred dollars worth of running and tri gear up for grabs for the top five winners. With donations coming from industry players like AirDrives, BodyGlide, Enlyten, Injinji, One More Mile and more, everyone…
It's St Paddy's Day, have you got your GREEN on?
Thanks Zadok for capturing this photo a the Dublin 2007 Marathon.
Got a running photo to feature? Leave a comment with the details…
Yesterday in many a city or town runners celebrated St. Patty's Day by doing a 5 or 10k race.

The Boston Marathon. The Peachtree Road Race. The Fifth Avenue Mile. And now, the Glamour Stiletto Run.
Laugh if you will, but the next time you find yourself complaining about blisters, black toenails and bunions after a training run, think of how you would feel after running that same distance in high heels.
That's just what 150 women did in Amsterdam last week, in the latest incarnation of the Glamour Stiletto Run…

The Olympic Games are five months away, so we are seeing more and more articles on athletes and their training. Sports Illustrated recently surveyed the cities and towns where U.S. athletes train. One of the spots they chose was Mammoth Lakes, California, home to U.S. marathon hopefuls Deena Kastor and Ryan Hall. Don't look for a world record in the marathon to be set in Beijing; it's just
You know it’s time to spice up your playlist when you can sing all the way through it without the iPod. I was going to begin by espousing the benefits of running with music. But as I began putting together my opening arguments, it felt like I was opening up a can of worms. Suffice it to say, if you are one of those runners who doesn’t run with music
Every April, more than 50,000 people run the scenic 10k Vancouver Sun Run. I'd likely be lost somewhere in the back of that crowd, but I'm sure these speedy runners are at the head of the pack.

It is a hard rule of life, and I believe a healthy one, that no great plan is ever carried out without meeting and overcoming endless obstacles that come up to try the skill of man’s hand, the quality of his courage, and the endurance of his faith.--Donald Douglas
I had not heard of the World Harmony Run until I went looking for some good video and when I found this clip I felt like I had opened a door to a new world - a world where harmony and peace are a priority. The World Harmony Run was founded by Sri Chinmoy in 1987. From their website: The World Harmony Run is a global relay that seeks to
Back when I was a kid (you know, right around the time of the Civil War), one of the most exciting days of the school year was when the Scholastic Book shipment arrived. For those of you who can't remember a time before computers and Amazon.com, Scholastic had an arrangement with schools in which a small catalog of children's books was handed out to the kids every month. Then you would
So you're holding that little magic stick with a + on it that confirms you are indeed pregnant. A new family member is on the way and suddenly you start thinking about your lifestyle. Maybe you weren't trying, maybe you were. Your mind flashes back to that long run you did on Sunday and a wave of guilt overcomes you. Am I harming my baby by running? Can I continue
In recent years, bacteria have gained popularity on the health and wellness scene. Most commonly, you hear of the wonders probiotic bacteria can work for your gastrointestinal health. But now there’s evidence to suggest they may play a beneficial role in staving off respiratory tract infections too. This could be welcome news for endurance athletes who might have compromised immune systems that leave them more susceptible to these types of
Surely most men do not speed up as they get older, so how come the M40 age group is often more competitive than the M35 one? Having just recently celebrated my 38th birthday, I got asked more than once if I was already dreading the big four-zero coming along. “On the opposite,” I usually replied. “I can’t wait to get the chance to finally win an age group award.” While this
Back in Sept 2006 I featured an excellent photo of the huge crowd running the Paris Marathon. The 42.2km route takes you from Champs Elysees Ave to Voche Ave and some where in there right past the Eiffel Tower. Interestingly enough the first Paris Marathon was held in July 1896 with 191 runners. This week's featured photo was taken during the April 2007 Marathon where the crowd of runners was
