Fueling for a Marathon

So have you done a Fartlek run yet? It’s such a funny name, but the idea is so simple! It’s a very basic way to do speed work in distance running. I was actually hesitant to give a Fartlek run a try. I’m a big fan on putting on my headphones, coming up… Continue reading Fartlek Run
Podcasts for Runners
Listening to podcasts while running has completely changed my relationship with running. After a long break from distance running, I came back to it in September of 2016. I’m four years older than I was when I started running, but I enjoy it now more than ever and the long distances don’t bother me like… Continue reading Podcasts for Runners
