Getting to the Core
So here's a little 4-1-1 about running. A strong core (midsection) is your secret weapon for distance running. Or running in general. By incorporating core work such as planks, plank variations, pushups, as well as other body weight exercises such as inchworms, mountain climbers and yes, burpees, you are strengthening your midsection. And this is …
An Even Dozen
Week 12 is in the books. And now I have slightly less than 30 days to go until race day. Gulp. Sh*t is getting real. The Plan In a nutshell; there was a lot of running goin' on last week! My old pal, Yasso was back and I have to say I had a fun …

Happy Halloween!

5 Mistakes Marathoners Make
I was listening to a Runner's World podcast on my very long run the other day. I actually listened to 3 of them over the course of 2 hours and 47 minutes so you can imagine how excited I am to open my Sprint bill. However, I digress. One podcast had the royalty of runners, …
One Mile at a Time
Monday started my 9th week of training and I'll be honest, I was a bit tired from the trail race last Sunday. Overall I felt good but my calves were talking to me a bit on Tuesday when I went out on my run. A reminder of the 2 mile uphill grind from the race …
Staying the Course
I am officially halfway through with my marathon training program. And I'm loving this training plan. I'm running more overall. More mileage. More runs per week. More varied workouts. And being a touch OCD about my training I'm following the plan without much deviation. The plan says run 40-50 minutes I do 50. 6-8 hill …
