Running Under 6 Minutes for a Mile is a goal for a lot of people. I have been running all my life and started running the mile in 7th grade. 12/28/2023
Distance runners need to have strong glutes and a strong core. Your sport requires you to be moving for hours and the repetition with each time your foot contacts the ground requires strengthening to be able to sustain the volume to continue to push on. 12/20/2023
It takes 2 months to form a habit
Getting into running is hard, but keeping on track and holding yourself accountable is the hardest part.
Do you ever feel like some days you crush your workouts or races and others you feel like you’re working so much harder and you just can’t? Well Maybe it’s time to consider the phase of your menstrual cycle and try to plan around it. The menstrual cycle is 28 days and affects women in their reproductive ages. It is the body’s way of preparing an egg to be fertilized, and if not, shedding the lining of the uterus to start over. 11/13/23
There are so many shoes on the market, brands, types, and new research claiming to make you faster, support you longer, and prevent stress injuries. New Companies keep coming out daily and everyone is trying to get a foot in the Shoe industry. It is a growing and affluent market.

Journaling your runs is a great way to measure progress and track mileage to learn about yourself as a runner and be able to look back at what works best for you. Keeping track of workouts, mileage and pace, lifting programs, nutrition, and sleep are all helpful things to measure and record to try to reach your health, fitness or weight loss goals. There are so many factors that affect how you feel each day. 11/15/23
The Beer mile is a famous race in college track teams and fantasy football punishments. It is a true test of drinking ability.
The beer mile consists of a runner chugging a beer at the start of each lap of a mile. A Mile is 1609 meters. Those 9 meters at the start is the drinking zone. When the whistle blows, you can crack open your can and start drinking in that 9 meter zone. 12/27/23.
