Ah, NYC… Everyone has a completely different fantasy or experience of what this city is about… I was talking to a coworker who is leaving town soon. She’s from the south (of the US) and she is used to quieter places, a more relaxed life-style. She was telling me how…

Continue reading →: Philly: As seen on the Run
I lived in Philly from 2001 to 2005 so I like to come visit once in a while, mostly because one of my best friend is still there! We took a lot of pictures but these are some from the run and I did in the city. Well, not sure…

Continue reading →: Running Biomechanics: Stop the Stomping
If you can hear your feet stomping the ground, there is a problem. A big loud problem. It can be due to many things, weak lower limbs, weak hips, overstriding, breaking, etc., but it is never good. Focusing on being softer on the ground, lighter on your feet can be…

Continue reading →: A Biomechanics Coaching Session – July Giveaway
Nine out ten people I have coached were wrong when describing their running form. And if no one had video-taped them before, how could they possibly know?? Have you ever seen your running technique close up, frame by frame? No matter how fast or slow you are, there is always…

Continue reading →: how cool is this? – NYRR Giants Run of Champions 5K
The results from last weekend’s 5K at Giants Stadium. A First place is always pretty ridiculous, but a 1st at a NYRR race is INSANE for me. This one will live with the other 1st AG place award I got this year, so they can strategize (or motivate me?!?). Pretty cool,…

Prologue – Buenos Aires/NYC Twenty years ago, I knew this guy named Pablo, back in Buenos Aires. About five years ago, we reconnected on facebook, chatted a bit, we were now both runners, and he wanted his friend/coach Juan and I to be facebook friends too, for some reason, I…

I used this program twice already, for the 2011 Footlocker Five Boro Challenge NYC Marathon, and then this year for the NYC Half. You enter ALL your running information in there and it gives you a predicted finish time. You get a (weekly or daily) email with the workouts and…

Continue reading →: I choose NOT to be a better runner
Yes, you read that right. I made this decision a while back. And it was Right. For me. It’s who I am. But, I was reading Matt Fitzgerald’s “Runner’s World Guide To Cross-training” and at the end he lists things we should be doing to be “a better runner”.…

Two afternoons ago I got home and they bf had great plans to go out. I said ‘Uffffff, I have to run“. I hadn’t run in two days. I had to. It’s work now some days. And I have to because if not I will put on more weight and…

Oh, YOU KNOW what I am talking about. Don’t ignore me! We all say, yes, of course and 98% of you don’t do them. Don’t give me that look. Stop it. You need to start doing it. Yes, I am looking at YOU. If you need me to tell you why…

I haven’t done this race before so I had to do some major FBI-type search! Found this link, and it looks preeeeety flat! A few turns, that, if you play it well, can act like a slingshot! And, if you haven’t yet, guess my finish time: Who Will Win a great…
