Injury free Running seminar at Binghamton University

Posted on March 12, 2012 by Robinson — 1 Comment

I find it difficult to believe that there are many runners out there that wouldn’t like to run “injury free.”. I especially think that any runner who pulled their calf muscle five times last year AND got shin splints that…

So, I once before stated that “Someone told me that Runners need to do more than just run.” At the time I started to lift at the YMCA while my kids were doing swim lessons there, but as their drown-proofing…

Last nights run and ponderings on speed. Plus, the 100 up challenge!

It’s amazing to me, but my running seems much faster than it was. I have actually gone back and compared my times, and I am running consistently 1/2 a mile an hour faster than I was a month, 2 months or 3…

As I am still “Building back up” (yes I say this a lot.. I am reminding myself as well as you – my dear friends!), I decided 3 miles was a good distance for last night’s run. I picked…

100-Up (or what lots of barefoot/minimalists are now talking about after Christopher McDougall’s NY Times Article)

So, this morning – I was unable to get myself out of bed to go and run. I think knowing it is around 30-40 degrees in the morning and 60ish after work is not helping. I see a pleasant evening…

Picking a program

Posted on October 12, 2011 by Robinson — 2 Comments

So, while I wait for my shin splints to go away, I am trying to pick my “do-over” plan. I have debated the couch-to-5k program, but I have some concern that I could hold myself to that low of a…

Now that the kids’ are back at school for the year – I can run in the evening before picking them up on those rare nights when I get out of work on time. Fortunately for me, last night was…

Why do you run?

Posted on September 22, 2011 by Robinson — Leave a comment

I think this question comes up on most running blogs eventually. We go out and force ourselves to run faster. We run up hill. We ruin nice relaxing runs by mixing sprints into the middle. We swim, bike and lift…
