The Running Nutritionist: Nancy Clark Answers Your Questions
by Nancy Clark on October 12, 2011
Q: Hi Nancy, I have Celiac disease and I am struggling with finding the right foods to eat prior to long runs. Many Gu or energy fuels contain gluten or wheat products or preservatives and are not tolerated by those like myself with Celiac disease. I do not tolerate any kind of oats, even steel cut, for early runs and find myself out of steam after 10 miles. Do you have some insight you can share?

Mizuno Shoe Guy Answers Your Footwear Questions—October 2011
by Bob "Wish" Wischnia on October 10, 2011
Q: I have been training for a late fall marathon using the Wave Creation and Wave Rider. I am planning to use the Creation which has a little over 100 miles on them in my fall marathon. Should I get a new pair for the marathon? Diana Giacalone, St. Charles, MissouriA: It depends. If your Creations have between 100 and 200 miles on them, you should be good to go. But substantially any more miles than that and it would be a good idea to get a new pair about two weeks before your marathon. Why? It is much better to wear a “f...

I have currently been in Minnesota for the last two weeks getting in some good training with my f...

The Planet Wave - Why Marathon?
by Bob "Wish" Wischnia on September 21, 2011
I used to be a pretty decent baseball player all the way through high school. Had a very good glove and hit well enough to get a sniff from a few colleges. Don’t remember exactly what I averaged at the plate, but it was probably just south of .400.That average might be mostly a figment of my imagination. Still, I was pretty good for a skinny guy with no power. But it also meant I was a dismal failure six out of 10 times every time I went to the plate.Which is just about my marathon average.
