Cool Running | Portion Patrol
Cool Running | Portion Patrol: "Many of us run so that we can reward ourselves by eating whatever we want. Or, perhaps, vice versa: we eat so that we can run wherever we want."
Vibram FiveFingers

ultraRUNNING Online - The Long Training Run
ultraRUNNING Online - The Long Training Run: "Ultrarunners are an idiosyncratic bunch. They practice the sport in a thousand peculiar and individual ways. But on any given weekend, a high percentage of them will all be doing pretty much the same thing: completing a long training run. That’s because the long run is widely recognized as the most important element in the ultrarunner’s training regime, especially for the beginner."
Science of Running: Running form and the Shoe Industry: where do we go from here?
Science of Running: Running form and the Shoe Industry: where do we go from here?: "Running form and shoes are the biggest topics in the running industry right now. I’ve written about each substantially and while I enjoy the topic, I sometimes get tired of focusing so much time on them. I try and balance the topics out with that of my real love, how to train, but can’t quite pull away from the form/shoe topic as the demand for such information is high and the amount of misinformation out there is incredible."

50 Mile Training Program | Run 100 Miles
50 Mile Training Program | Run 100 Miles:
"Training for a 50-mile race is certainly not a walk in the park.

The Crazy Club: You Know You're A Runner When
"Yesterday, I woke up with a killer headache, so bad that I could not make it out for my usual 6 AM run. I convinced myself that running was not the best thing for me at that moment but vowed to run even longer on Wednesday, my usual day off, to make up for it."

Women's Running and Women Runners - What running taught me about life
Women's Running and Women Runners - What running taught me about life: "When I run, I have no grace whatsoever. I waddle like an angry pregnant duck. If I'm ever forced to look at a video of me running, I'll hide under the table. But hey, I feel terrific when it's over, and I'm getting some amazing cardio exercise."

Fitness Partner Article: "Your training heart rate is a critical element in exercise. Taking your pulse and figuring your heart rate during a workout is one of the primary indicators in ascertaining the intensity level at which you and your heart is working. There are many ways to measure exercise intensity. The Karvonen Formula is one of most effective methods used to determine your heart rate. The Ratings of Perceived Exertion and the Talk Test methods are subjective measurements that can be used in addition to taking a pulse."

Want To Run Better? Say “Cheese!”: "Many years ago I was running intervals at the track when I noticed something. I believe I was somewhere around the third lap of my fourth 1,600-meter interval in a set of six when I became aware that my entire face was tense"

Running Shoes - Options and Recommendations | Runners Training Guide
"I get a lot of questions about running shoe selection and what types of shoes I recommend. Well, the truth is that although there are two major factors to help you choose a good shoe, for the most part choice is an individual preference based on what feels good on your foot."

Undercurrent of Adventure | Mile Markers
Undercurrent of Adventure | Mile Markers: "Paige and I ran Sunday's half-marathon strong and steady–we finished in 1:40, but best of all our last mile was a 6:45. It was hot and humid, funny because a massive cold front is blowing in as I type, bending the trees ominously outside my office window. Tomorrow's highs may hover in the 20s so Paige, Katie, and I did our Wednesday workout early this morning."

Soft."

Spring 2011 Running Shoe Reviews from Runner's World
Spring 2011 Running Shoe Reviews from Runner's World: "We Say: Like a pillowy mattress laid on a concrete floor, the Evolution layers oodles of soft padding on top of firm, corrective support for overpronators. This is a beefy shoe, with most of the weight in the heel where foam, Gel cushioning, and plastic components make it one of the heaviest shoes in this guide. Our bigger testers (who need firm guidance underfoot) loved the plush ride, especially when compared with most rigid motion-control shoes. Recommended for often-injured overpronators."

6 Corrective Exercises Triathletes Should Do Everyday
"With so much demand on the body from vigorous training, triathletes need to include building balance as part of their training plans.
