Post Race Boston Marathon Interview With Craig Leon
by Ron Wayne on April 18, 2013
Mizuno Racing Team Member, Craig Leon, placed 10th (3rd American) in Monday's Boston Marathon. I caught up with Craig today for a post race interview.This was your first Boston Marathon. Did the race go as you had planned?I would say that I executed my race plan very well on Monday. The goal was to run conservatively through the first half of the race, and to avoid getting caught up in some of the early-race excitement.

Making Strides
by Clara Grandt on April 18, 2013
One week after racing the Cherry Blossom 10 miler, where I finished 10th place among the Americans, I am bent over on the side of the river rail trail coughing up a large bug that flew into my mouth with 4.5 miles to go of a hard 23 mile long run... the farthest I've run in... over a year? Pleased with the outcome of the run and tempo pickup on the end, I expel the bug and regain my composure enough to stagger toward the car and head to the nearby Sheetz to grab some chocolate milk and ice for an ice bath. My younger self may have waited until I got home to have a recovery drink, ...

Spring Training
by Patrick Rizzo on April 9, 2013
There are months at a time where I swear my biggest nemesis is the weather. Overall, Boulder has excellent weather year-round. Our winters are mild; our summers are sunny and dry; spring and fall are short but beautiful! I really can't complain as this has spoiled me since leaving the midwest 3 years ago.This training buildup has been a real weird one. I haven't been able to get my long runs in as hard as I want and my longer workouts keep getting cut short due to lack of dry pavement (non-icy pavement really) for any real distance.
