Training, Nutrition, and Motivation
I’ve written about it before, my draw to running a faster marathon, as this fleeting thing that I may never accomplish. After a stressful and unfocused 2009 training season, I asked my friend Caleb Masland to help me reach a goal that I’m afraid of.Over the past few months I’ve been training with his help, and I’m starting to [...]
Lately, explaining dailymile to non-dailymilers has felt a little like selling a religion. I’ve been thinking about why this has happened–what have I changed about the way I think about dailymile.com in the last few weeks/months?

If you’re into ultra running, you’ve heard of Sarah Stanley. With a 100miler under her belt, she’s making her way into the top spaces of female ultra runners in the USA. Sarah is also on a marathon extravaganza around the states, and she’ll be in San Francisco just on October 18th to run the Nike [...]
I believe it all started when runners decided to take off their shoes and strut their bare feet around town starting the barefoot running revolution that is sweeping across the nation, provoking imaginative products, and if you’re part of the club, you can sport a barefoot runner’s t-shirt!
