I work on my "rest day" and after some of my runs... that means 13 hours on my feet. So I never really get a true rest day. Ice baths, epsom salt baths, foam rolling, anyone else have any other tips? I've been running for years, so pain is not new to me, just looking for new tips :) Thanks!

Cool, clear. Again, usual route. Irritated literally and figuratively w/new Karhu shoes. Ran w/one pair of socks and no orthotics, internal plastic structure on right outside foot caused 'hot spot' / blistering - switched out for strides.

I am now up to 4.5 miles at a very slow pace, and have selected a June 23rd 10 miler in Northville, MI as a goal to complete it- not race it, complete it! Hopefully that will get me ready to start a bit tougher training program for a fall race (not sure if a marathon will be in the picture, or a half- will depend on health!) It's great to see so many new faces here!

That's a great question, Erik. There are two schools of thought when it comes to incorporating strength work into the schedule: (1) hard days hard and easy days easy; and (2) balancing workload.

Personally, I […]

Whether it be for optimal performance, general health, or even the reason they started running in the first place, weight is a critical issue for runners. Unfortunately, despite how it may seem, losing weight and running your best aren’t easy to do in conjunction.

Great questions! Your idea that rehydrating most efficiently would require you to know how much of each electrolyte you sweat out per volume of sweat lost, is absolutely correct. The problem with this is each […]

Cool, and sunny. Brisker pace (7:36 – 6:35), needed to burn off some energy - seems like it has been ages between runs. Still forming opinion on new Karhu (Forward 3) shoes (significantly changed).
