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? What is the next 5k stretch like? Am I set up right for where I want to be on that stretch?”In a way, it keeps the runner in a protected little bubble of a comfort zone. The first 30k is really spent I...

The Running Man
by Clara Grandt on December 16, 2012
I see the same man running nearly every morning, whether I’m out there running myself or driving by, if I’m in that same spot at that same time, I will see him along the same stretch of road each morning. He’s always running the same pace, the same time of day, and the same route. His small build is slightly bent over, but not frail. He’s probably in his 70’s, but who knows, maybe running is keeping him younger and he’s really 80’s or even 90 years old. His outfit varies slightly depending on the season. In the summer, ...
Winter Running Tips
by Patrick Rizzo on December 4, 2012
It's that wonderful time of year again, WINTER! Okay, so really I'm not that enthused with the winter at all. 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. Winter weather is not a downer at all. It just means we have a season to show Mother Nature who is most resilient! As runners, we're known to be among the morning “crazies” that populate the trails and bike paths even in the worst of weather, looking for that one day of edge ove...
The Expected and The Unexpected
by Serena Burla on November 30, 2012
In my New York marathon build up I played out hundreds of race scenarios in my mind, played the marathon version of “what would I do if…” with my coach on countless occasions, and trained to be able to respond to these numerous race situations. With that said, I was also prepared to expect the unexpected. My coach warned me that in any given marathon, there will be at least one moment where something happens that I did not plan for, expect, or see coming.
