532 QT Coming Back from an Injury is a Delicate Process
February 17, 2018 00:00 - 19 minutes - 9.24 MBWhile no runner wants to be injured, the odds say that most of us (if not all of us) will be injured at some point in our running careers. As such, it would probably be prudent to discuss the process (and it is a process!) of successfully coming back from an injury. While preventing an injury is always the best option, it isn't always possible. So if (when?) you find yourself injured, how do you keep your recovery on track and get back to running as quickly as possible? That is what we ar...

February 09, 2018 00:00 - 14 minutes - 6.85 MBHow willing are you to try something new on race day? I know, common runner "wisdom" is to never do anything new in a race that you haven't done in training. But is that sound advice? Can you emulate everything about a race in training? I know I can't.
