Can elite marathon runners listen to music when their running in marathons? The quick and easy answer to this is no they can’t.

By on Wednesday, December 24th, 2008 | 4 Comments

I heard rumors last week that the USATF had changed their stance on headphones, and they have finally published some confirmation.

This Week Last Year: Headphones and Injuries

By on Saturday, November 17th, 2007 | No Comments

I felt great after running in New York City, but I can not say that the marathon took no toll on my body at all. It was very obvious after I returned to the weight room this week last year that squats and lunges right after a marathon can leave you sore for a while. [...]
