By Scott Douglas You've probably experienced not feeling like eating soon after running, especially after going long or hard. On a physical level, an unsettled stomach makes sense, as blood gets diverted during a run away from non-active body parts to working muscles. A study publishe...
This Sunday is Mother’s Day (did you hear that, husband?). My plan is to go on a trail run with a girlfriend in the morning, then hopefully come home to my house of three boys and some pancakes and coffee. I’d love to spend the rest of the day gardening and getting tons of dirt under ...

“…no material comfort can equal the luxury of a well fitting, broad-toed, flexible, heelless shoe. Of course, the secret is that a good barefoot shoe enables us to walk naturally and to find in simple natural exercises not only health, but sanity and happiness as well. If I were a fai...
In that moment, when you are considering a second helping… or a second piece of pie, you are telling yourself you just love the taste of food. But what is really happening, Jen, is that you are saying you cannot think of any other way for that exact moment that can bring you as much h...

I don’t think I’ve ever been hit by allergies this hard. Ever! My eyes are itchy. My ears are blocked. My throat is scratchy. My nose is running. I’m sneezing. I have postnasal drip. Ugh. It’s horrible and the worst part… The Tough Mudder is TOMORROW! I can only pray that what I’m all...

I have a question for you: I am a student and live on my own for the school year (sept-april). I eat healthy, exercise and just have a generally healthy lifestyle while at school. Every summer when I move back home I gain all of the weight that I lost that previous school year. My par...
Laura Saladino became a runner back in elementary school, when she was the only student to complete the one-mile run. “While the other kids stepped off the track, something inside me said, ‘Keep going. Finish this thing,’” she recalls. “It made me feel like I was good at something phy...
