There is plenty of advice here, and on other websites, about how to improve your running. But what do you do on those days when nothing seems to work?
You know what I mean. Your intervals are slow. Your strides are uneven. Your mood stinks and you're completely gassed about halfway through your 12-miler. You're out there on the road, already flipping through your mental file for the proper adjectives to…
When it comes to muscle fiber-types, you’ve got your fast-twitch for sprinting and slow-twitch for distance running performance, right? Well, not so fast. Researchers have recently published results online in the Journal of Applied Physiology that suggest it might not be so black and white, after all.
Looking at a group of highly trained distance runners, researchers at the Human Performance Laboratory at Ball State University in Indiana have found that…
Overview
Runners hate heavy shoes. The compromise between stability versus weight and responsiveness is a constant conflict. New Balance appears to have a pretty good grasp of this struggle with the 1223.
Shoe Specifics
The 1223 is a maximum stability shoe for moderate to severe overpronators. It is also deemed a “high mileage trainer.” There are a number of technologies built into the shoe to provide stability, lighter weight and cushioning such as…
Back in the day when I was good at running and high jump I always thought hurdles would be cool. But hurdles with water, now there's a challenge.
In this photo: Mike Boucher (leading), Tom Wade & Joe Wade at Bournemouth on June 2nd 2007. Thanks Mike for dropping by and leaving us that information.

We've all done it. You get into the car and drive 2 minutes for a jug of milk, when it would have been just as easy, and healthier, to walk or cycle.
Today seems like a good day to vow to change your world. Sustrans, the UK's leading sustainable transport charity, is sponsoring its second annual Change Your World campaign. The premise is simple. Swap one car trip between the 30th…

Writing a humor column about running isn't exactly curing cancer, but I have pride, too.
So it's doubly difficult when I come up with an idea, only to find someone else has already written an awesomely funny article on the topic.
We've all read (and in many cases, written) those standard pieces about tackling the marathon for the first time. A parody of these articles is long overdue. Well, the folks over…
When Jennifer at Harlot clothing company first contacted me about reviewing their clothes I thought it was odd since they only sported cycling clothing, but it turns out they make great running attire as well.
They sent me the Essential T and Tank to try out and I love the silky, superhero light-weight feeling I got when wearing both of these shirts on my runs here in super hot Texas –…
This Week's Must Reads
This week we have two "must reads." Father's Day was a few days ago, but the Rocky Mountain News profiles Olympian Alan Culpepper and the effect that fatherhood has had on his running. It's interesting to read how even world class athletes have to juggle the competing demands of training and family.
The New York Times examines how "grains of truth" regarding training and nutrition grow into…

Before you were a runner there is no way you would have paid $90 for a pair of sneakers--every six months.
Before you were a runner you thought people who were running just before a race were insane.
Before you were a runner you would have spit out the sugar water that you now drink every 10 minutes.
Before you were a runner you thought women runners were too skinny.
Before you were a…
As if we needed another reason to be intrigued by the track and field events leading up to, and culminating at, this summer’s Beijing Olympics, we might now have one. If he can qualify for the South African team, Oscar Pistorius, a bilateral amputee and Paralympic track star, will be allowed to compete against able-bodied athletes in Beijing.
In January, the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) ruled that…
Just when you thought you'd figured out which running shoes you liked best, another company has thrown their shoe in the ring. Less than two weeks ago, Under Armour announced that they will be entering the running shoe market in early 2009.
According to an article in the Baltimore Sun, Under Armour will "target a consumer who doesn't necessarily have an allegiance to a particular brand." Wait. There…
Notice the difference between form and attire for the leaders versus the ones on the other side of the road? Does what you wear make a difference in your performance?

Politics is a marathon, not a sprint. That is, of course, unless you entered the ACLI Capital Challenge in Washington, DC.
The 27-year-old race benefits the DC Special Olympics and features teams of elected officials and federal employees. You wouldn't expect to find speedsters on the floor of the House or the Senate, but you would be surprised at the quality of some of the runners serving in Congress.
The king of…
Okay, let's start off by saying cute, cute, cute! I love this shirt and wear it at least once a week. And not only because it is so darn cute, but it so darn practical.
The side and back pockets are the perfect size for a Gu or a car key and the drop zip collar is perfect for letting in a much needed bit of air when you are pounding…
Olympics Update
Can you believe it? The Beijing Games are just about 60 days away. The shortest and longest distances in track and field are the 100 meters and the marathon. There was big news in both events.
He has the perfect name for a sprinter: Bolt. Usain Bolt of Jamaica broke the world record in the 100 meters, running 9.72 seconds in New York City this past weekend. (You can watch…
Growing up, I loved watching sport on the telly, and my favourite events were the running competitions. I always had boundless admiration for these athletes, and I guess it was back then that my own love for running started.
I have often philosophised about what defines an athlete. Obviously, I'll never join the ranks of the elite athletes that compete for medals in major sporting events, but I think (at least…
Seem's lately the topic is excuses so this week's featured photo seems rather fitting.
• The alarm goes off, you shut if off, rollover and go back to sleep.
You skip your run.
• You look out the window and it's pouring rain.
You skip your run.
• Wait, it's Thursday and the last eposide of Survivor airs tonight.
You skip your run.
