Image via Wikipedia “Overuse injuries of the musculoskeletal system generally occur when a structure is exposed to a large number of repetitive forces, each below the acute threshold of a structure, producing a combined fatigue effect over a period of time beyond the capabilities of the specific structure.” Hreljac et al. (2000) The question of […]

Qualifying for Boston at the Smuttynose Rockfest Marathon: My Race Report
October 6, 2010 By 65 Comments
Three and a half years ago I was overweight and out-of-shape (see picture at left) – my 190 pound body was far more comfortable sitting on the couch and watching TV than clicking off miles out on the road. Yesterday, however, after burning off about 25 pounds from my 5’10” frame (the right-hand picture to […]
Freedom’s Run for Kids: Free Shoes Provided by Terra Plana Vivobarefoot
September 30, 2010 By Leave a Comment
A few weeks ago I interviewed Mark Cucuzzella here on Runblogger. Mark is both a physician and the owner of a minimalist-only running store called TR Treads located in Sheperdstown, WV. In talking with Mark, I have discovered that we share a passion for getting kids active, and for making sure that parents make wise […]
A Contrast in Form: Variable Running Gaits at the 10K Mark of a Marathon/Half-Marathon
September 15, 2010 By 13 Comments
Sometimes a simple video can speak louder than words or any research study. Last Fall some of my students and I filmed nearly all of the runners in the Manchester City Marathon and Half-Marathon as they passed both the 6-mile (marathoners and half-marathoners) and 20-mile marks (marathoners only) of the race. The video below was […]
Interview with Mark Cucuzzella of Two Rivers Treads, a Minimalist Only Running Store in West Virginia
September 9, 2010 By 12 Comments
Over the past few months I have been corresponding via e-mail with Dr. Mark Cucuzzella on the topics of running form and running shoes. Mark has a very interesting background in that he is a family physician at Harpers Ferry Family Medicine in WV, an Associate Professor at West Virginia University School of Medicine, and […]
Running Shoe Review: Saucony Kinvara
August 27, 2010 By 122 Comments
This is a somewhat long and unorthodox review, so I’m going to begin with an unorthodox introduction. I remember back in middle school we used to have a police officer come to class and talk to us about the dangers of drug use. One of the things he used to discuss were “gateway drugs” – […]
Altra Minimalist Running Shoes – Adam, Instinct, and Lone Peak
August 21, 2010 By 21 Comments
The minimalist running movement appears to be gaining steam at a rapid rate these days. Word is that the topic of minimalism was all over the place at the recent Outdoor Retailers Show in Utah, and more and more manufacturers are jumping into the fray with their own minimalist offerings. Even some of the big […]
Shoe Review: Asics Piranha SP2 by Ted Beveridge
August 17, 2010 By 2 Comments
I’m fortunate that given my inability to personally run in and review every shoe on the market, I have friends out there who are more than willing to help me get the word out regarding shoes that might represent good options for those wanting to migrate into less shoe. “Airforce” Ted Beveridge is a fellow […]
Shoe Review: Brooks Mach 12 Cross-Country Racing Flat
August 15, 2010 By 45 Comments
Amid the rush of new so-called minimalist shoes hitting the market (or soon to arrive in stores), it’s easy to overlook the fact that just about every shoe manufacturer already makes shoes that fit pretty squarely in this category (depending on how you define minimalist – some prefer to call these “reduced” or “transitional” shoes). […]
On Running Form, Variability in Elites, and What it Means to You (and Me)
August 9, 2010 By 34 Comments
Image by -nanio- via Flickr If there is one thing that I have learned in 15+ years of teaching and studying biology, it’s that variation is the norm rather than the exception. Variability is the reason why biology is sometimes called the “sloppy science,” and it’s the reason why undergraduate biology majors at my college […]
Nike Zoom Streak 3: Reviewed by Caleb Masland of Becoming Bonkproof
June 30, 2010 By 2 Comments
One of my major goals in writing this blog is to promote variation in choice of running footwear, particularly shoes that might be classified as reduced or minimalist. Given this, I’ve chosen for the most part to avoid reviewing shoes that weigh over 10oz, or that are stacked with pronation control/stability features. This still leaves […]
Choosing a Running Shoe: How My Perspective Has Evolved
June 6, 2010 By 33 Comments
If you’ve been reading this blog for any length of time, you probably realize that I have a bit of a running shoe problem. Not only do I own a lot of running shoes (part of my collection can be seen in the picture to the left), but I actually manage to run in most […]
Barefoot-Like Running Shoes – Terminology Matters, and Science Can Help
May 15, 2010 By Leave a Comment
The recent series of posts that I wrote criticizing the new Nike Free Run+ running shoe (if interested, you can start with this one) have generated a lot of traffic to this blog, and have prompted a few commenters to criticize me for “attacking” a shoe that I have never worn. My response to these […]
Running the Relay for Life: Recap
April 12, 2010 By 5 Comments
Image via Wikipedia I honestly had no plans of running a spring marathon this year – didn’t take long for that resolution to go out the window. On Friday night, an evening that started at dusk with me running alone in heavy rain and ended with four of my students running under a bright blue […]
Training Update – The Past 12 Months
March 4, 2010 By 2 Comments
Just a quick post to share my training progress over the past year. I’m pretty happy with the way things went through January (January was lower due to recovery from the Disney Marathon and a much needed one-week break from running), but February was a disaster due to two bouts of strep throat. With that […]
