A good while ago, I sat down and started writing. Before I knew it, I had an entire post written on why running easy is so hard. Completely unplanned, but I felt that it was worth sharing. I was shocked to see the response by the end of the day, not just from comments, but from…

It was only once my boss at Runners Connect recommended I start the Run to the Top podcast that I really started to pay attention. One thing you will learn about…

Happy 2015! At the beginning of a new year, there is always a lot of discussion about what you would like to achieve for the next 12 months and beyond.

After a long day out, you come home, exhausted, and it doesn’t matter if you are still full from dinner, you find yourself heading towards the kitchen with no willpower to stop yourself from reaching to those foods you know you should not be eating, especially at this time of night.…

10 Reasons Running is for YOU!

Tina Muir

Do you have a favorite place to go running, I do! I ran around my long run loop along the Schuylkill (I still have to look that word up every time!)River. A lot of people hate running there for various reasons, one of which is the congestion during the nice days. To me this is…

Perseverance

In my training update a few weeks ago, I wrote about “the little voice”, which has talked to me a lot in the last month. Before you think I am going crazy, let me explain. Although this can be called different things; a gut feeling, your heart, a pit in your stomach; I think we…
