How To Race Faster by Running Tangents On Circular Courses

By Blaine Moore on Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010 | 2 Comments

After my article last week about How To Race Faster by Running Tangents, I got an email from my friend and fellow Trail Monster Alan Morrison about how similar running tangents are to running near the inside of your lane on a track, which I’ve copied here (with permission): Hi Blaine I’ve been thinking about [...]

Cool Video From Outside Magazine About Chris Lieto

I just watched a very cool video from Outside Magazine about Chris Lieto, which was sent along to me because of the great headline copywriters from the magazine (as evidenced in the screenshot above). It’s a very neat concept about how magazines in the near future will move just like online video and will appear [...]

How To Race Faster by Running Tangents

When a race course is certified by the RRCA or USATF, it’s measured by the shortest route a person can run and remain on the course.

Beach to Beacon 10k Registration Closes in Record Time. Again.

. . . . After the registration fiascos of the past 2 years, I wrote an open letter on how to improve the Beach to Beacon with a few suggestions on how to improve the process (many of which were implemented this year.)

I recently received this email from Heather Murray: Dear Blaine, I have been reading your newsletter for some time now and i love all your tips.

If you are a race director and put on an RRCA Championship race, you may already qualify for sponsorship by Gatorade. However, if you put on a non-championship RRCA race, then you can now benefit from discounted rates when purchasing Gatorade products for your race.

Eating Well While Traveling

By Blaine Moore on Monday, March 8th, 2010 | 4 Comments

Eating well while traveling can be difficult. Hours on the roads, quick stops at restaurants, and bad hotel food served to captive audiences can easily lend itself to a “not quite right” feeling in your gut even a week after you get home and back to your normal diet. There are a few tactics you [...]
