The (Injured) Boys of Summer

Posted on March 18, 2010 by John Elder

It’s that time of year again. Buds are sprouting on the trees, all things are made new again, and the crack of the bat (or ping) can be heard at the local baseball field. As John Fogerty so aptly put it: “Well, beat the drum and hold the phone, the sun came out today! We’re [...]

New Research on Running Barefoot

Posted on January 6, 2010 by John Elder

I just got Christopher McDougall’s “Born to Run” for Christmas, and I can’t wait to dive into it! I’ve heard amazing things about the book, and I’m a huge advocate of barefoot running. The latest study, published just last month, further propels the thinking that, “less is best” when it comes to your shoes. Ladies, [...]

The Nashville Oyster

Posted on November 13, 2009 by John Elder

Some of you might not know that I’m a huge fan of adventure racing. Notice I didn’t say a huge adventure racer, just a huge fan. I’ve actually competed in two races and plan to one day be an avid/consistent racer (3-5 races per year), but for right now I only dabble. For those of [...]

The Marathon Debate

Posted on November 3, 2009 by John Elder

I wish I would have found this article last week prior to the NYC Marathon. I think it raises an interesting debate about running and age. The article is essentially asking, “Should kids run marathons?” The NY Times interviewed three men who ran the marathon in the ’70s when they were around the age of [...]
