Ultra-runner and fitness promoter Dean Karnazes completed that crazy adventure of 50 marathons in 50 days back in 2006 while trying to inspire others to get off the couch and move the body. Most probably thought he was a nut (aren’t all endurance athletes) but I bet there are a good number exercising today thanks […]

Here is another method to help with determining your training pace for various types of running workouts. Your VDOT!
VDOT paces provide quite similar results as McMillan Running Calculator but only provide one specific pace for a particular type of workout (Easy, Threshold, Interval, etc) versus a range.
VDOT was created by famous American running coach Jack […]

With a more recent focus on purely running I wanted to become more knowledgeable on the training aspects of the sport. While visiting McMillian Running I watched a preview of the DVD, Jack Daniels - The Art and Science of Running. With Jack Daniels being a coaching Icon in the sport, I […]

As the temperatures rise during the summer months, I was reminded of the need to manage fluid consumption. The short of it, I lost 4% of my pre-run weight after a 2 hour long run that included 21 oz of water mixed with HEED and Endurolytes. A 4% loss is not good!
From what I […]

On Saturday I took on a local 4 mile road race called the DRC Bloomin 4 Mile. This is another one of the events put on by the Dallas Running Club. There were nearly 400 excited runners ready to take on the hot, humid, and windy conditions along the mostly flat shores of White […]

A few lessons hopefully learned from my Boston build-up and race:
3 high intensity sessions in one week (4 weeks from race) was not a wise idea. The full impact of that week didn’t fully manifest until two weeks later and then I was cooked with two weeks from race day. Not where you really want […]

ESPN put together a wonderful piece covering the life of U.S. marathoner Ryan Shay who unexpectedly passed away while running at the Olympic trials in New York City last November.
I had not followed Ryan’s career before this event but a few things caught my attention from this video (besides the loss of such a young […]

On Monday April 21st, 2008 I completed my first Boston marathon. I am a relative marathon newbie with having done three standalone road marathons while only racing in one of them because the other two I was injured. Being fairly new to the sport, I knew some basics of the Boston marathon but was still […]
