CAN YOU FEEL THE POWER OF REST?
And Now for Something Completely Different…something I know absolutely nothing about as a run-streaker: The POWER OF REST! R-E-S-T, you know that four-letter word that runners love to hate? That word is critical to runners’ growth, development, and recovery. I used to think rest only meant “running days off”. But I’ve learned that the run-streakers […]

I LOVE YOU RUNNING
Happy St. Valentine’s Day! It is a wonderful day for loving others and yes, for loving running. When did I discover I truly loved running? Probably when I was in my teens (maybe younger), shortly after a doctor told me in junior high no more football, you’re too thin, you’ll get hurt. I was angry […]

Despite the snowy subzero temps/windchills here, today I’m 80 days into my longest run streak in recent memory (streak began Nov. 19, 2013). How did this happen? This streak was supposed to end after Jan. 1. Not sure I could do this. But fatigue has become an issue. Slamming coffee. Strange blood blister on 1 […]

Happy sunny Snow Dog Sneaux Day! We got some snow last night so our daughter and lots of other kids are excited about their snow-or is it sneaux?-day! Many of us noticed today that God gave us a rare, special treat for the polar vortex blast we shoveled and drove through this morning. At first, […]

How to Run Pyramidic Fartlek
Running friends have asked me to explain what pyramidic fartlek is and how I run it. Pyramidic fartlek is a stepped approach in which you run with “speed play” through different interval speeds, ascending to top speed and descending back to a slow jog or walk. For example, one of the most popular fartlek formats […]

Richmond Road Runners Remember Meg Menzies – WRIC Richmond News and Weather -....Don Quixote will Simply Run This Year!
HAPPY NEW YEAR! Silly me, I’ve unsuccessfully tried to formulate more than one running resolution but multiple resolutions seem to conflict with each other. So for the sake of simplicity in a life of chaotic complexity and to prevent me from chasing every visible windmill (race, running challenge, etc.) and battle like Don Quixote, I’ve […]
