Running for More Than Yourself Every runner runs for a reason. Many people run to stay in good health. Some run for the dreams of obtaining medals, breaking records or becoming famous.

A professional runner going 4 years without a single PR. In ANY distance. That would be enough to crush you, make even the most mentally tough runner doubt themselves, but Sarah Crouch held on to her desire to run fast, and kept putting herself in races; marathons and half marathons, until finally it came. When she ran as hard as she could from the start, and held on. First woman at Chicago Marathon, with a tumor being removed just days before the race, this is one inspirational woman.

Tina Muir
How to be a Positive Runner When You Don’t Seem to be Improving PR.  Perhaps the most commonly used jargon in the running world. In a sport that is largely about competing with yourself, a personal record can mean everything. Hours of pain, sweat, and tears can seem to mean nothing if you don’t believe…
Talking to the man behind Marathon Investigation, a website that seeks to “out” the cheaters of the running world. We talk about how he figures out who has cheated and why he believes people are engaging in this behavior. Derek shares how social media has both increased the prevalence and made it easier to identify who might be doing so. We talk about what each of us can learn from the cheaters being reported and how we can help be vigilant when we see infractions happening around us and reporting it to the race directors. If you have ever missed out on qualifying for a race, this is an episode you WILL want to hear.

The Magic of Being Out in Nature as a Parent

This post is sponsored by adidas, all thoughts and opinions are my own. I never used to be able to understand why people would blame kids for their inability to exercise. I have always (harshly) been of the mindset, “if there is a will, there is a way”, and I do still believe if something…

Why Running for Time, Not Distance Might Be Best For You

Tina Muir
REAL runners run for miles, kilometers, distance. Running by time is for the inexperienced, right? Actually, no. Running by time instead of distance might be just what you need.
