This week last year, I concentrated on the Eastern States 20 Miler. The night before the race, I published my race plan, which I followed up with a report card on how well I followed the plan. It is a good case study for those interested in doing such things themselves. In other racing news,…
Once again, I seemed to miss a week for looking back. Last week last year was busy, with quite a few news notes, training tips, and discussions on research findings. I discussed some research on the merits of tempo workouts vs. interval workouts. Personally, I prefer a good mix of different types of workouts in…
Did you get to see Spirit of the Marathon on either of the nights that it was screened throughout the country? If not, you may get another chance. The Spirit of the Marathon is going to be screened 16 more nights, but only in select cities near specific events. Here is a full list of…
