Comfort Zones
by Patrick Rizzo on December 20, 2012
You probably think that running professionally would entail a constant pushing of the envelope. In many ways it does. Marathon running is entirely different from other distances. To be successful in the marathon, one must be incredibly in-tune with his/her body. It's a constant evaluation of all systems. “How's my fueling? How's my pace? Any aches and pains yet?

Winter Running Tips
by Patrick Rizzo on December 4, 2012

It means slick surfaces, dark runs (morning AND night), and cold temperatures accompanied by tight muscles.Don't worry, this isn't a blog to complain about the weather.
