Any fabric that is rubbing as we get sweaty can cause friction and thus chafing. Nothing is going to run a long run or race day faster than a searing burning pain. The…

Big Thanks Posted From https://fitbottomedgirls.com/2021/05/running-gear-thats-putting-pep-in-our-step/ I often compare running to golf. In both sports, consistent effort and good form basically always lead to improvement. And, in both sports, you need to be prepared for bad days, because even the most consistent effort and the best form can’t guarantee that every time out will be a…

Big Thanks Posted From https://www.runtothefinish.com/half-marathon-group/ In June our Virtual Run Club is continuing half marathon and marathon training as a group!! But of course it’s so much more than just running 13.1 or 26.2. You’ve got questions. You’ve got goals. You’re tired of getting injured or burned out and ready to crush this race (or…

Big Thanks Posted From https://www.runtothefinish.com/dns-dnf-push-through-how-to-decide/ What does it mean to DNF a race? What about to DNS a race? Or perhaps you’ve unfortunately had those letters with your name and now you’re wondering how to know when to make the choice and what’s the right choice. Fall racing season has arrived, which means for many…

Big Thanks Posted From https://www.runtothefinish.com/running-over-50/ Over the last few years, many coaches have started to recognize the importance of training around the hormonal cycle. But what happens to running over 50 during peri-menopause and running after menopause? It changes things. Simply acknowledging that is step one in continuing onward! We can’t just push through and…

Big Thanks Posted From https://www.runtothefinish.com/marathon-gear/ One of the remarkable things about running is months of training can culminate in a day of glory or one that goes sideways for no particular reason. And of course, we don’t get to pick the weather or the conditions, so having the right marathon gear can help to mitigate…

Big Thanks Posted From https://www.runtothefinish.com/runch-get-ready-fast-after-workout/ Not only is the lunch run (aka. runch) a great break for your brain, but it could be when you’re primed for a speedy run.
