Bookmark it, save it, get it printed on yer arm: How to take control of your running health.

…lest you end up like this: Being in injured and not training.

Didya hear the new podcast with Ken Michal? Ken chases cutoffs, inadvertently eats bees, and describes how the very front of the race and very back of the race have a lot more in common that it appears. Definitely give it a listen.

Check out Nickademus’ race calendar for the year. Wow! Hear our interviews with him here and here.

Great, now runners are targets of terrorism.

Strava and the death of solitude. Do you agree?

The internet trolls descend upon the El Capitan climbers and deem their attempt stupid and dumb.

Brilliant beards on runners.

What it’s like getting back to training, post partum.

When you’re falling apart at the end of a race, pull out your smartphone and navigate to this post by Joe Uhan, a PT who knows what he’s talking about. It’ll help.

Michelle’s list of reasons why I live in a state with nice weather.

Seven reasons why women should go on solo adventures.

Definitely book marked the first article but KNOW that I won’t listen because we never do ;)….
Is Nickademus job just running?

Any other readers who entered the Leadville lottery frustrated by the complete lack of communication or transparency?

I haven’t been paying attention. What’s going on?

  Vague statement that lottery “winners” would be informed mid-January. No firm date. No information about the drawing process, odds or when it would take place. No updates to any social media or website. I’m probably just being impatient but I would like to have some idea so I can sign up for back up races.

I think the death of solitude is a little sad and this need to share everything. I backed off posting my runs and people wonder if I run anymore. I am logging more miles now than I ever have, but I don’t feel like I need to seek out a photo from every run so the interweb knows I actually got out the door. Half of my Instagram feed is filled with selfies and shoes including running stats. For whatever reason it is pushing me away.

Gordy should be on the brilliant beard list.

Agree. Gordy should be first on the list!

Like James I stopped posting run photos and such. Was way too much and it did nothing for me. I was also part of the Ginormous trail running Facebook group but got completely turned off because of all the post and stupidity of it and dropped the group. Also social media, Facebook mainly, looks and feels more and more like my junk mail folder in my email account.

I try to only use strava/instagram as motivation…when needed. If strava can help me push a little harder when needed than great, but I often avoid strava for most of my runs as I like the simple solitude and don’t care about pace/time/blah. I agree with James though, and am also getting sick of the selfies and shoe pics…”I ran today, look at my face” .

the selfies are getting worse especially with the younger age group than myself (14-25 yrs olds). I have younger cousins and some of the stuff I see from them and their friends are all selfies. I also just saw an ad for a selfie stick. google it. Its the stick folks use for go pros when they are doing videos and such to get different angles and such. Now it’s being used to take selfies.

Thanks for sharing the post and thanks so much for the comments. Paul and James make me think of that Sprint commercial from a year back, hawking a new data plan for the iPhone 5.

“I need to upload all of me,” the commercial’s narrator concludes. “I need, no, I have the right to be unlimited.”
