The People You See At Races
When you show up to a running race, you will notice a plethora of different runners. No two runners are exactly alike and that is never more evident than when you get a lot of us together in one place. Let me be clear at the start: I am not bashing any of you that...
Running in the heat
April showers bring May flowers, higher temperatures, and generally increased humidity. Regardless of where you live, spring brings gradually warmer temperatures that allow you to ditch the leggings and gloves for the tanks and the sunglasses again. In Texas, this can...
Running Recovery Techniques

My Definitive Stance on Shoes – For Now
Ok. Let’s fight. I’m going to build the case for how you should select your shoes both for running and for life. This is the kind of debate that will start fights. Whataburger or In-n-Out? Coke or Pepsi? Backstreet Boys or N*Sync? Did Dez catch it or not (he did)?...

Race Day
Excitement, nerves, and anticipation are just a few words to describe what you feel the last few days before your goal race. It’s finally here. That day you only imagined and have been picturing in your head for months. Now what?...We have previously talked about...
Race Lead Up

Bad Race
'Cause you had a bad (race), you're taking one down. You sing a sad song just to turn it around. You say you don't know. You tell me, "don't lie". You work at a smile, and you go for a (run). You had a bad (race). Or something like that… Now what? This is the hardest...
Get your foot off the break
