A great miler back in the 80’s had a great quote in an interview that has applications to many areas of life and sport. I’m re-quoting via Elite Marathoning’s FB status update this weekend: [The Miler] said “going into every race I resigned myself to the fact that the next 4 minutes were going to…
It’s been a while, and I guess there are a lot of updates… although nothing really important. First: Like I said, I booked the tickets. I got a lot of great advice from people who I really trust. A few of the things that stuck out for me: “You only regret the opportunities you don’t…
The legs are coming around! I met up with Brenden today for a 2×2 mile tempo workout and felt like my typical starting-to-taper self. What a fun feeling. We came through in 11:33 and 11:38 and I felt strong, efficient, and my feet were slapping the pavement & bouncing up quickly, snappily. I could have…
I’ve always wondered if the quality of vitamins and supplements mattered. I mean, what’s the difference between the $2 bottle of multivitamins and the $20 (or more) bottle? Luckily for me, Hilary reached out to me to give Nutrilite’s products a try. I would never have splurged to try it otherwise. First, what makes Nutrilite…
How hard can you push coming back? I hate the guessing game coming back from an injury. Big time.

Good thing I did… because turns out, I should be starting THIS WEEK. Oh, man. I still haven’t decided which of the Daniels’ marathon programs I’ll attempt: 1. stick…

I want to break the 3:45 mark for the marathon…what is your best tip to get longer with faster miles? I have a good sub 8 pace for 5 miles, but couldn't hold that for 10…
How are you feeling? :). Happy New Year!
What do you eat after workouts?
When do you time your strength workouts? After a hard day? On easy days?
What would be the best workout to do to gain speed? Also, what other workouts could I do for like lifting weights and etc.
Is it true that male runners with beards are A. very sexy, and B, naturally faster than non-bearded male runners? I know a guy who would like to know.
