Must-do Rocky Mountain trail runs.

Max writes about his race in Chile (at 16k’) and a crazy sports-oriented mall that is now on my list of indoor places I want to visit.

Ugh. Achilles Tendonitis. What worked for me: Higher drop shoes, stretching, and temporary reduction of miles.

Interesting: A day in the life of Nick Symonds.

A European MUT runner’s musings on pacers and predators.

You got a race this weekend? What and where?
