As most of you know, I’m a triathlete. I’m not the best. I’m not the fastest. But I have fun doing it. However, I gotta admit, my least favorite part of training for me is running. I’ve never loved running. Never understood the “runner’s high.” Always wondered what runners were actually running from. But, strangely…I feel [...]

When it comes to marathons, I was a “one-and-done” kind of guy. After I ran the Country Music Marathon in 2003, I was able to check it off my bucket list. I haven’t run one since, and I don’t plan on running one again. But that’s just me. We work with a LOT of runners, [...]

I know a LOT of you have been told that running is bad for you. You’ve heard that your body isn’t built for running, that us humans weren’t designed to go long distances, and you certainly aren’t designed to run barefoot. However, I couldn’t disagree more. This is a post I wrote right before the Country [...]

I’ve always thought running to be a great form of exercise. While I don’t particularly enjoy running long distances, I do feel better after running a few miles. If you’ve followed my blog posts over the last two years, you know I’ve gotten into triathlons, which obviously require running. However, I’ve kept my distances short, with [...]

I know many of you are reading “The 4-Hour Body” by Tim Ferriss. If you aren’t reading it, I would highly recommend doing so. In this follow-up to his best-selling “The 4-Hour Workweek“, Ferriss takes his turn at “body hacking”. His mission was to discover just how much he can get his body to do. [...]

Or does it…? I know “It’s Gotta be the Shoes” was a popular slogan by Nike in the 90s, but I think we are all smarter than that, right? We all know that your shoes won’t make you jump like Jordan. But, can your shoes help eliminate your knee pain? Honestly, I don’t think it’s [...]

I know that might come as a surprise to some of you who frequently read my blog, but it’s true. I don’t think you’re fixable, because that would imply that you are broken, and I refuse to believe you are broken. I think that ‘bum knee‘, ‘bad back‘, and ‘aging hip‘ are simply your body’s [...]
