Adapting Your Training to the Summer Heat
June 18, 2013While it’s true running in the winter presents some serious motivational challenges thanks to short days, cold weather, and icy roads, it’s actually the summer season that negatively impacts training the most. Sure, bright sunshine and beautiful scenery make it much easier to get out the door, but the truth is, heat, humidity, vacation, and a lack of sleep all wreak havoc on your training plan. Since summer is one of the most popular and important training seasons, especially if you’re racing a ...

How Much Does Excess Weight Impact Your Running Performance?
June 17, 2013It’s a no-brainer for most people that extra weight will slow you down when you run. A bit of flab you picked up over the winter or even just a water bottle strapped to your waist will, in theory, slow you down by increasing the metabolic cost of running. But how much will a given amount of excess weight slow you down? Fortunately, this sort of question is fairly straightforward from a scientist’s perspective—all you need to answer it is a treadmill, a weight vest, and some basic VO2...

Gait Retraining: Rehabilitating and Reducing the Recurrence of Running Specific Injuries
June 13, 2013In last week’s article, we considered how conscious attempts to try and modify your running form whilst running may not be the best way to improve running performance.

June 11, 2013Anyone who’s ever run a tough, hilly race or long run more than a few times, especially on trails, can probably guess what “jogger’s toe” refers to. The black, bruised appearance of one of your toenails after it takes a beating during a run is accepted by some runners as an integral part of running, but these bruised toenails can cause problems if left unchecked. Injured toenails are not only painful and an ugly sight to look at, but can end up infected as well—the warm, ...

Techniques to Prevent Nausea and Vomiting Before, During, and After Racing
June 10, 2013For those who witnessed it live, the 1996 Men’s Olympic Marathon Trials is a race they’ll never forget. Yes, race winner Bob Kempainen won in a course record time of 2:12:45, but that isn’t what made the race so memorable. At 22 miles, just as Kempainen began to drop his two nearest rivals, he began to vomit. And he kept vomiting for another two miles. Luckily for Kempainen, the vomiting didn’t slow him down and he held on for the victory. While Kempainen’s unfortunate situation made for incredi...
