2020 Holiday Gift Guide for Runners

It feels strange to talk about something as trivial as holiday gifts when Covid is running rampant throughout the country. However, we could all use a little respite and a reminder that, even if we are celebrating with just our immediate families, the holidays are still worth celebrating. Celebrate this holiday season with some gifts for the runner in your life!  Coros Pace 2 I recently converted from Garmin to Coros (the Pace 2) and could not be happier with the decision.

Easing Back into Training + Feetures Elite Tempo Review

I have not shared my training recently on here, as October was a month of lots of training obstacles. I still struggle to build back from having Covid in August.

Should You Take a Break from Running?

Most of the time, running is enjoyable. That’s ultimately why we all lace up our shoes, log those daily miles, and train for distances that seem crazy to the average person. But what happens when running is no longer enjoyable? When should you take a break from running? Obviously, there are situations in life that necessitate an extended break from running.
