Now that I’m a member of the Brooks I.D. sponsored runner program for 2010, I’ve slowly been building up my collection of Brooks running shoes. I’m a huge fan of the Brooks Launch (you can read my review of the Brooks Launch here), which I rode to an 8:00 PR at the Disney Marathon in […]

January 29, 2010 By 5 Comments
Daniel Lieberman’s (and colleagues) new article about barefoot running in Nature has stirred the pot once again about the pros/cons of minimalist running. While many of the popular media articles that have come out read similarly, a member of my local running club passed along a newsletter article from Marathon Sports that was quite thoughtful, […]

A few weeks ago I ran the 2010 Disney Marathon in a PR time of 3:24:49 (read my Disney Race Report here), and it was the first of my five marathons in which I managed to avoid bonking (check out these split charts from my five marathons). Runblogger Runcast #8 discusses the reasons that I […]

January 15, 2010 By 14 Comments
It’s still a little difficult for me to wrap my head around what happened to me last weekend. You see, I’d reached a point of utter frustration with the marathon. Before Sunday, I’d run four of them, and each one went pretty much the same way – I’d run well early in the race, smack […]

October 25, 2009 By 12 Comments
We all have our reasons for why we started to run. For some of us, it’s the personal challenge of trying to accomplish a goal as seemingly impossible as completing a chosen race, whether it be as small scale as a local 5k or as large scale as a marathon. For some of us, the […]

Running in Vibram Fivefingers: The Day After
August 24, 2009 By 55 Comments
You know that feeling you get in your muscles after you go to the gym for the first time in months and overdo the weight training?

However, each of these races has been an incredible learning experience, and here are a few practical things about marathon running that I have learned so far: 1.

Running with an Ipod: Free Audio to Listen to While Running
April 30, 2009 By 1 Comment
Image by Oliver Lavery via Flickr My Ipod Nano is an essential companion on my training runs (I generally don’t use it in races), and I love mixing up what I listen to from day to day. Besides music, I often listen to free podcasts downloaded from Itunes (Phedippidations, Fitness Rocks, This American Life, and […]

If you’re like me, an Ipod is an essential running accessory. On training runs, I typically listen to music, podcasts, audiobooks, etc. to help pass the time.
