    I was sure I’d be doing the NJ Half this weekend but it got really complicated to get on board so late. Needed to get a hotel (all booked up) or stay at my relatives or wake up at 3 am and take the train, plus someone would have to…

    May 1, 2013

    Some running coaches will tell you to lean. Some running methods will also tell you to lean (chi-running, POSE method, etc.) Don’t listen. They tell you that if you lean forward, your feet will catch your fall, and voila, that’s running. They explain that “running is a constant fall”. (And,…

    I have more background to this race than a race report really: I signed up at the last possible minute and until 2 hours before the race, I wasn’t sure if I’d race it.. Monday, I felt horrible. Horrible. Like I-hate-everyone-horrible. I had slept very little and was in a foul…

    Running Biomechanics: What are your arms doing?

    Published by

    April 26, 2013

    Arm movement is one of the most diverse variables in running form. There are not too many runners whose arm movements look alike. Unless we are talking about those people with perfect form (check out Ryan Hall in youtube if you need arm-inspiration). Arms should be parallel to the body, bent at…

    The official Food Pyramid has five groups: grains, vegetables, milk, fruit, meat & beans… MY food pyramid has three groups: sweets, meat*, and all the other stuff. Of course by meat I mean BEEF. Don’t give me that chicken/turkey/fish lean-goodforyou story! So, here are the main characters of my diet,…

    Have you heard of the 80/20 rule? It is the perfect way to describe Cadence and it’s relation to Running Form. Fix your Cadence and most of the issues you could have with your form will be secondary! Cadence is your stride rate, and you should be doing around/over 180 steps…

    part 1 (and your comments) is here. On the runs, you usually feel like a heavy turtle. But after every run, you are wonder woman. Or Superman. You have Vaseline jars everywhere. You start ignoring every little running gadget or fad. You get really upset if called a jogger. NOT cool,…
