Training Tips

Why You Should Journal Your Running

December 2, 2014

One of my favorite runners to follow on Instagram is the 5K champion Lauren Fleshman. She’s a runner, mother, entrepreneur, and writer; her column in Runner’s World is one of the first things I read each month, and I wish I could steal her Oiselle-sponsored running wardrobe. What I find most inspiring about her Instagram, however, is when she shares photos of her training journal.

Staying Fit Over the Holidays + Holiday Running Plan

November 25, 2014

There’s a whole bunch of factors that makes maintaining running fitness difficult over the holiday season.

Run for Yourself and Stop Comparing Yourself to Others

October 28, 2014

There’s a famous quote, most often attributed to former U.S. president Teddy Roosevelt, that I’ve seen numerous times across Pinterest and the blogosphere. “Comparison is the thief of joy.” These words are so prolifically quoted because the sentiment holds true for anyone seeking any goal: you diminish your sense of accomplishment and pride when you compare what you have done to what others did.
