Workout Wednesday 1: Hamstring Strength for Runners

Things are going to change up a little bit around here. I am planning a new structure to things for 2017 based on reader feedback.  The problem is, I don’t like waiting to start things, so I thought I would hop right in and start one of my new features NOW. As I am developing skills… Read More…

Things I Learned In My Off-Season

And just like that, it’s over. I recieved an email from my coach this week that my formal training begins on Monday morning. It took a couple months of unstructured, low volume, low intensity workouts but I am mentally and physically refreshed and very excited to get back to training.

Top Five Books for the Athlete on Your Holiday List

Earlier this week, I woke up before my alarm. It was one of those wake ups where you could go back to sleep, but I thought of my book and instantly snapped awake. I made a hot cup of coffee and settled in for an hour of reading. That is right – I chose to read over… Read More…

For anyone who needs a bit of a boost today

Occasionally, I write something and leave it in draft form for ages. This is one of those posts. It helps for weeks like this one where I am crazy busy and it ensures that I don’t just throw a slapped together post out there for you to read. This weekend, I am attending a gala… Read More…
