See, when I play half-court basketball with my friends, I love playing inside. The contact, the banging,… Full Story »

The Secret to Learning to Run
Runner's World - Ask Coach Jenny &bull Aug 25, 2010
Hi Jenny. I've been reading your QA on Runner's World and I have gotten the courage to ask a question of my own. I am a 40-year old woman who has wanted her WHOLE life to be a "runner". I've been told since grade school that I am not coordinated enough to run, I'm too slow, I shouldn't bother, etc I recently have befriended a "former fatty" who had been told the same things and she is now regularly running 5Ks. With her support, I, too, began to "run". I have been "running" (and… Full Story »

Aug. 24: New Study Reports That Shorter Strides Can Have Many Benefits
Peak Performance at Runner's World &bull Aug 24, 2010
The research team found that runners who simply shortened their strides (by increasing stride frequency by 5 to 10 percent) achieved many presumably-positive changes in forces and motions. They wrote: "Many of the biomechanical changes we found when step rate increased are similar to those observed when running barefoot or with minimalist footwear." The subjects in the study were 45 healthy, recreational runners (in their early 30s) who averaged about 15 miles a week of running at a preferred pace of about 9:15/mile. They maintained this pace on the laboratory treadmill, but, prompted by a metronome, also ran with a… Full Story »

Harvey Mackay: No shortcuts in the entrepreneurial marathon
Yahoo! News Marathon Running &bull Aug 18, 2010
I ran my first marathon after my 15th birthday. I've run nine more since then, including the New York and Boston marathons. I'm proud of that fact for a number of reasons, not because I ever came anywhere close to finishing first, but mainly because I finished them all. A marathon is 26.2 miles. It is as much of a mind game as a physical challenge. You train your body to keep going when you… Full Story »

Morning Madness
Runner's World - Marathon Virgin &bull Aug 9, 2010I know one of the rules of recreational running is that you run for yourself and you're not supposed to compare yourself to others. You run your way. You worry only about what you can control. If you decide to derail your efforts with a bacon-and-sausage-wrapped-in-pancake sandwich, then you live with your (hic) decision. But I also have found that it's hard not to compare yourself with others-not necessarily in a competitive way, but in an admiring way. I often think… Full Story »
