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.

Endurance Training Boosts Your Fast-Twitchers, Too

June 25, 2008 Read more »

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.

The New Balance 1223

June 24, 2008 Read more »

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.

It’s Time to Change Your World

June 23, 2008 Read more »

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 [...]

Sabotage

June 20, 2008 Read more »

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.

Retail Therapy: Harlot–Essential T’s and Tanks

June 19, 2008 Read more »

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.

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 [...]

Before You Were a Runner

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.

Oscar Pistorius Cleared for Competition

June 11, 2008 Read more »

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 [...]

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?

Running for Office

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 [...]

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.

What Makes An Athlete?

June 3, 2008 Read more »

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.

Photo of the Week: So What’s Your Excuse?

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 [...]
