By Scott Douglas Before the 2004 Olympic Marathon, Deena Kastor donned an "ice vest" and sat in an air-conditioned room until minutes before the start. Over the latter stages of that race in Greek summer heat, she ran faster than anyone else and moved through the field to take the bro...
Some surprising data on vitamin D from a new University of Copenhagen study, just published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism , suggesting that there is such a thing as too much vitamin D, after all. The data set is pretty unique: thanks to a Danish national databa...

By Meghan G. Loftus Don't be alarmed: About 90 percent of the subjects analyzed, in a review of data from six exercise studies, did not experience negative effects. More likely than not, your running habit is only improving your health. That said, the review, published in the journal ...
A few months ago I hinted (here and here ) that fellow blogger and friend Carla (MizFit) and I were working on a book proposal together. This is uncharted territory for me. I know nothing of the traditional writing and publishing world. Nothing. But we pulled together a proposal with ...
1. Priorizar la rehabilitación de antiguos caminos y vías de uso tradicional para adaptarlas a una utilización preferentemente peatonal. 2. Realizar un estudio integral previo del sistema viario tradicional de la zona, que incluya especialmente aspectos como la trama de caminos, el pa...
Just read a great article by Katie Arnold over on Outside Online on a topic that I feel very strongly about. The article, titled “Mini Minimalists: Are Barefoot Shoes Good for Kids? ”, addresses whether minimalist/barefoot-style shoes are appropriate for kids. I particularly love this...
All runners have bad days. The most prominent factor that sets a champion apart from others is the ability to move forward after a setback. Spend a few minutes trying to learn what you may have done that brought on the problem and you will improve in many ways. A bad run will trigger ...
STOCKHOLM (SWE): ASICS Stockholm Marathon is Europe's oldest city marathon, dating back to 1979. The 34th edition with a record number of 21 266 runners from 83 nations closed its registrations already Dec 1, more than a half year before the race. However there will be a second marath...
Seems to me that having your foot land just in front of your center of gravity is the key cue. Everything else seems to fall in place. Stride length is too dependent on speed to use as a baseline indicator of good form. And I’m not sure cadence has to be the same for everyone, when yo...
I recently updated my minimalist running shoe guide , and rather than trying to list every minimalist shoe out there right now, I opted instead to recommend what I feel are some good options in several different categories. Right after the post went up, several people on Twitter asked...
Nike, when it was called Blue Ribbon Sports. Geoff was the champion of grass roots, and his spirit can be felt at Hayward Field, a place that he spent many days training, and many nights watching the sport that he loved.

By Meghan G. Loftus A new article—abstract here —reviews the literature that examines the potential link between running and the development of arthritis in the hip or knee. The review's authors found that low- and moderate-volume runners appeared to have the same risk of developing a...
Asbel Kiprop is the quietest Olympic gold medalist that I have ever met. Asbel came on the running scene in 2007, when he took fourth at a 19 year old, in the Osaka World champs at 1,500 meters. In 2008, Asbel took the gold at 1,500 meters in the Beijing Olympics. In 2009, Asbel again...
Honestly, I truly hope this is not the end of the line for me. I hope to one day, once again, get a chance to toe the line at Squaw. I love the race and I love to run. But, I also know I need to get healthy and in this case, this year, it is not meant to be. So, like the shameless opt...
Everyday it is something new. Forget being strong at one thing, let's find your weaknesses and push your limits at everything . This is why I'm becoming addicted to crossfit, and why I think it's going to be a key component to training for this Ultra Beast craziness. And while I fully...

This will be a great Friday, I know it. I’ll tell you why in a minute but first? A little bit of good news – I’m back in the gym! I made it Sunday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. I plan on also going Saturday as well. I’ve been trying to take it slow and am doing some fairly light ca...
Mario Lopez was in boise about a year ago. He never looked until the crowd until it was “showtime.” The pics I got from him were like yours, doing “stuff” & not looking into the crowd. Looking forward to the recap. Sounds like a fun day.
