First off, I wrote an article for Running Times online that is now up on their site. It’s called: Avoiding the Hard/Easy Trap.

So take a look and hopefully it helps you out: http://runningtimes.com/Article.aspx?ArticleID=21097 Secondly, Niell Elvin, who…

Lots of exciting developments going on lately. We’ve got free shoes to give away, a new article on Peaking I wrote for Running Times, and a great podcast on Running Form and shoes I participated in last night.

As you are probably aware, traditionally we all thought the sequence of the actual DNA was the be all end all. Depending on what…

I recently got the opportunity to do an article for Runner’s World online thanks to Peter Vigneron.

First, I’ve redesigned the website a little bit to make it a little more friendly for both the visitors and me in editing things. I’ve also changed the website address (though the old one will still work) so that it’s easier to remember, find, and doesn’t have that annoying .blogspot in it. I looked at…

I played around with my new camera, taking some high speed video of my footstrike and myself running. Let me just say, that it’s a lot of fun seeing things in slow motion. I got a lot of strange looks from people wondering who the crazy guy was running back and forth in front of…
