Editor's Note
In 2013, when I was 43, I set a PR in the half iron triathlon distance by nearly 15 minutes. Less than a year later I set PR’s in the 5K and half marathon distance. Having consistently participated in triathlons and running events for nearly 10 years at that point, I was proud to be faster at 43 than [Read More]

A Reason to Run | Wendell & Myra John
I initially had no interest in running, training, sweating, crying, cramping, or enduring the pain involved with training for— or even completing— an endurance event. Sure I would dabble in running with a short jog on the treadmill at the gym or grimace while watching clips of the Boston or New York  [Read More]

GEAR REVIEW - Vazee 2090

I have always been a fan of cushioned running shoes, even throughout the minimalist era. I love the plush feel of New Balance’s fresh foam line of shoes— a bit more cushioning than traditional cushioned shoes but, not over-the-top Hoka-inspired cushioning— and have run mostly in fresh foam shoes for a few years. This year, however, I wanted to switch things up so I decided to try New Balance’s Vazee 2090. While I don’t believe a well-cushioned shoe hinders speed as I have heard some runners complain I do believe that less cushioning “feels” faster and at my age, I need all the help I can get— a well-designed shoe, perceived speed,  [read more]

Food for Fuel - Roasted Curried Cauliflower

Cauliflower is a member of the cabbage family that has many uses in cooking. It is often a great low-glycemic substitute for potatoes in purees and gratins, and it is a nice addition to stir-fries and vegetable medleys. It is often overlooked on its own as a key vegetable to be paired with a meal, but when roasted with a little oil and salt, it turns succulently sweet and caramel brown. This month’s recipe turns the dial on the flavor profile of roasted cauliflower up several notches. The sweetness of the coconut oil and the maple syrup [read more]

Marathon Swimming
When you think about swimming, what is the first thing that pops into your head? For most people, images of a pool with crystal blue water come to mind. However, if they’ve grown up swimming on a competitive team, it’s often the smell of chlorine, lane lines, thoughts of spending hours staring [read more]

Elizabeth Towe - Balanced Movement Studio
Core Corner - Step Back Lunge with Single Arm Row
Efficient running requires a stable-stance leg from which you can drive your body forward. Connecting the power of the stance leg to a stable torso with opposite arm rotation improves the efficiency of running. The Step Back Lunge with Single Arm Row, one of my favorite exercises, can work all of the [read more]

Cross Training for Running
IThe purpose of cross training into a running program or training schedule is to enhance the strength, the endurance, and overall well being of your fitness and health. But, use caution when incorporating cross training so it does not inhibit your ability to improve your running. If you choose to work [read more]
Train for a Reason and a Purpose

As the New Year wanes and spring starts creeping in with hints of warmer weather ahead, many of us hit the outdoors for the beautiful period when it’s not too hot to get out and do what we love to do. For some of us, that often means dropping the resistance training added in the winter to help build strength in the “off-season”, to make room for more running, cycling, paddling, hiking, or swimming.
While I realize most of us are strapped for time, I want to help you maximize your time so that your training has a focus, your workouts a purpose. For almost all of you, that simply means modifying your
