RUNNER'S BLUEPRINT

If you’ve just started running (or been a runner for a quite a while) and noticed that you get a terrible headache either during or after your runs, then this post is for you. Getting a headache from running can be a real buzz kill. But here’s the truth.  Exercise-induced...

Hill running is no easy walk in the park. It requires a mix of stamina, strength, technique, and sheer will-power. That’s why lots of runners have a love/hate relationship with hills. If you tend to avoid the hills because they’re challenging and/or don’t know how to tackle them, then today’s...

As a runner, you are no stranger to black toenails—unless you have not been on the running path for that long. In fact, less than a month ago I did a 12-mile run and forgot to clip my toenails the night before. Once I got home, took my shoes and...

I’ve always wanted to become a morning runner, but as far as I remember, I’ve never been a “morning person.” In fact, throughout my whole adult life, I’d always struggled to go to bed before midnight. I would tell myself that I’ll wake up with enough time to go for...

What I love most about running is the sense of freedom that comes with. The freedom to exercise wherever, whenever I want. I can run on just about any surface, anywhere in the world, and at any time you choose. That said, when it comes to training terrains, not all...
