Some days I need a little more motivation than others. Today was one of those days. I was excited that my sports doctor gave me permission to do speed work, even though my resting heart rate has been elevated over the past week.

I was of the mindset that each run in my training plan should be run at a fairly fast pace, including my long [...] When I first started running I thought that all I had to do was put on my running shoes & put one foot in front of the other. While that may work for the occasional or casual runner, that doesn’t work for the one (ahem, me) that thinks she can take on the world [...] Strength training is an important part of my workout regimen.

My biggest struggle with strength training has always been not knowing what to do, when to do it [...] |
