This blog has reinvigorated my passion for running… my wife is wondering what has got me worked up in buying and testing new running products for the last few months… sometimes when you have been doing something for over 20+ years you forget to add or test new things to get better… we get comfortable… thank you for waking up this area in me to test new things, even if it means falling on my face a few times. Happy Thanksgiving!!

I have learned a lot from you and appreciate your thoroughness and dedication.

I AM pretty shocked that this didn’t turn into a lengthy treatise on how the first Thanksgiving was clearly a minimalist activity, from a footwear standpoint, but there’s always Thanksgiving 2011.

Enjoy the rest of your holiday weekend!

I am thankful that you continue to write and keep my interest peaked. I know as a runner and a teacher you like to study the science of running, so I had a question for you. My friend told me that if I wanted to lose weight, I should stop my long distance running and work on HIIT or something else. I was told that long running doesnt just burn fat, but it also causes you to lose muscle. I thought it would only cause muscle burn after you ran out of fat. Do you know anything about this? Do you have a weight routine to keep you from losing muscle, if in fact you actually do?

As long as you have fat reserves and a supply of carbs, don’t think
you have much to worry about with regard to losing muscle. I don’t do
much weight training, mostly due to lack of time, but can’t say I’ve
noticed any muscle loss. If anything, my legs have more muscle than
they ever have. That being said, I have also read work that suggests
that interval training is good for weight loss. My take is that as
long as you are active and monitor your intake so that it is not
excessive, weight loss will come.
