The Planet Wave: The Heat Is On, but It May Help
by Bob "Wish" Wischnia on May 24, 2013
Summer is nearly here which means lots of different things for different people, but for folks who are planning to run a fall marathon or half, it also means plenty of hot, humid long runs. Undeniably, one of the least appealing aspects to running a fall marathon is training through the summer for it. Depending on which part of the country you live, running the race is easier than slogging out 20-milers in July and August. Suffice it to say, summer is not exactly the ideal time of year to train for a marathon.But if you’re at all like me and planning to run one of the big-city ...
The Planet Wave: Is Running Bad For Your Knees?
by Bob "Wish" Wischnia on April 25, 2013
How many times have you heard this one from some well-meaning, non-runner: “If you keep up with all that running, it’s going to ruin your knees. Pretty soon, you won't be even be able to walk.” If I had a breakfast taco for every single time I’ve heard that, I could compete with Taco Bell.Heck, I’ve been running since fourth grade and my mother still insists on telling me before every marathon that all this running around I've done has trashed my legs and makes me too skinny. Not that I’ve ever listened to her. (Sorry, mom). Got...

by Bob "Wish" Wischnia on March 26, 2013
That the Boston Marathon is the greatest road race in the world is incontrovertible. Boston is one of those one-word iconic events like the Masters or Wimbledon. No further explanation is necessary.Boston certainly isn’t the biggest marathon, but it’s the oldest (April 12th will be the 117th) and most tradition-laden race in the world. It’s the one race every marathoner aspires to run.Just last weekend after a final long run before Boston, a bunch of the recent class of Boston survivors were exchanging war stories of the death marc...
The Planet Wave: Ditch Training, Play Instead
by Bob "Wish" Wischnia on February 1, 2013
I hate training. I really do. While I'm at it, I also despise working out and absolutely never run workouts. Never.Don't get me wrong: I love running. Probably just as much as you do. What I hate is the “training” word. Maybe it's a case of semantics, but I equate training and working out with...work.I work plenty, just not when I run. Work is the last thing I want to think of when I run. There's an important distinction between running and working out/training that too many of us have confused.Let me explain. Steve Scott is good friend of mi...
