Running Fortress

If and when we build that fortress around our run(s)…it’s not exactly how that song by Sting goes, is it? I know, fortress around your heart, fortress around your run. Very similar because we do run with and for our hearts, souls, bodies. But we could sing...

Spontaneous Fartlek

Today, on Jan. 29, 2016, I taped a brief Periscope on how to do unstructured, spontaneous winter fartlek. Fartlek is Swedish for “speed play”. A while back, I began using #FartlekFriday on Twitter to mark my Friday runs and remind others to remember to run fartlek workouts. Enjoy! Happy Fartlek Friday and have a great […]
