Have been seeing a physical therapist, additional stretching of quads and calves, and icing after runs. This has made it go from nearly unbearable after two...
Today's workout is probably going to sound a lot like those tales our grandparents told us about walking 5 miles barefoot in 10 foot snow with their little...
I was scheduled to run 20 miles last Saturday, but I ran only 9. I felt beat after only eight miles and tried to go back out for more but quit after another...

... Rengaw ~ It sorta depend on when you accomplished your last 20 miler and what your long run pattern is (i.e. every other weekend). It also depends on your...
Thanks Coach. I decided to run the 10K instead of another long run. I did 20 the last two weeks and needed a mental break. Plus, if I ran well it would be a...
Coach you raise an interesting topic that I haven't seen discussed before. What do you think a proper taper length is? Would it vary for the half marathon vs...
