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 […]

On Running Form II: Where Should Footstrike Occur?
August 18, 2010 By 83 Comments
Running coach and exercise physiologist Steve Magness of the Science of Running blog recently put up a long, thorough post explaining his thoughts about “How to Run.” One of the things I found interesting about his post was his discussion of the use of “cues” to help one improve running form. Often, as Magness admits, […]
Race Report: 2010 Bridgton 4 on the 4th Road Race
July 4, 2010 By 5 Comments
I almost didn’t run this race today. In fact, if it was up to my wife I would have stayed home. I’ve been pushing myself really hard lately on my runs, and probably doing more speedwork than I should. After a 5K last weekend, followed by 2 miles barefoot the day after, and then a […]
Going to Dark Places: On Mental Toughness in Running
June 15, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Image via Wikipedia Last week I was reading an article about Kara Goucher from the March issue of Runner’s World titled “Mind Gains” by Bruce Barcott. In the article, Barcott tells the story of how Goucher’s coach, Alberto Salazar, brought in a sports psychologist, Darren Treasure, to work with Goucher on the mental demons that […]

Nike Free 3.0 – 2nd Generation (Update 5/23/2013: The Nike Free 3.0 is now in version 5, you can read my review of the Nike Free 3.0 v5 here) About a month ago I wrote a series of posts in which I was critical of the newest member of Nike’s Free line of minimalist running […]
Brooks Launch and Green Silence: New Color Schemes
May 23, 2010 By 5 Comments
I’ve made no secret of the fact that the Brooks Launch is one of my favorite running shoes (disclaimer – I am a member of BrooksID). They carried me to a PR in the Disney Marathon (maybe just coincidence, but I like to think they played a part!), and my first and only pair so […]

May 8, 2010 By 15 Comments
Image via Wikipedia A few weeks ago I posted a slow-motion video of Ryan Hall from the 2010 Boston Marathon that was taken by a pair of my undergraduate students (thanks Erin and Daniella!). They headed down to Newton on Marathon Monday to watch and film portions the race, and as it turns out, they […]
Hood to Coast the Movie: Running Documentary Coming this Summer
April 15, 2010 By Leave a Comment
A new feature-length running documentary is coming to theaters this summer. Hood to Coast follows four teams during their running of the 197 mile Hood to Coast Relay – given my current desire to run in an event like this, this movie looks like a can’t miss. Here’s the trailer: Hood To Coast Trailer from […]
Brooks Green Silence in a Green and Black Color Scheme?
March 22, 2010 By 2 Comments
One of the questions I frequently see posed about the new Brooks Green Silence racing flat is why it’s not actually colored green? It’s the most environmentally friendly running shoe on the market, and it has the word green in its name, so why isn’t it green??? The color scheme that has been released, asymmetrical […]
Losing Weight Through Exercise and a Healthier Lifestyle – Stories of Personal Transformation on dailymile
March 1, 2010 By 19 Comments
Image by kastner via Flickr Last October I wrote a post on this blog about my personal story of weight loss achieved through running. In that post I mentioned a controversial article that was published in Time Magazine in early August of 2009 that questioned the efficacy of exercising to lose weight (“Why Exercise Won’t […]

For those unfamiliar with it, this race involves running 2 miles to a Krispy Kreme doughnut store, eating 12 doughnuts as fast as possible, then running the two miles back to the starting line.

Vibram Fivefingers and Barefoot Running: Does Removing Heel Cushion Change Footstrike?
December 10, 2009 By Leave a Comment
In my previous post, I posed the following question to Ian Adamson, director of product development and education for the Newton Running Company: Me: Available data indicate that most people are heel-strikers. Is it your belief that the presence of extensive heel cushion (i.e., a heel wedge/lift) essentially forces a heel strike in most people? […]
Relationship Between Running Footstrike and Footwear: From Stability Shoes to Barefoot
December 4, 2009 By 28 Comments
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the relationship between footwear (or lack thereof) and how it affects my running footstrike. Over the past year I’ve been running in everything from full-blown, pronation-control stabilty shoes (Saucony Progrid Guides, Brooks Adrenaline GTS 8) down to Vibram Fivefingers KSO’s, which are about as minimalist as you can […]

As it turns out, according to this great “I’m A Runner” article in Runner’s World, Twitter co-founder Biz Stone (@biz on Twitter) has recently become a distance runner, and is looking […]
