Strength Training for Runners Workout

December 5, 2014

If you follow my blog and read my weekly workout recaps, you’ll already know that I am not a huge fan of strength training. Though I love some good core work and yoga, I will always choose to tie on my running shoes rather than pick up some free weights or a kettlebell.   However, strength training is essential for runners.

Running Workout: 30 Minute Fartlek Workout

September 12, 2014

30 Minute Fartlek Workout

Even with a busy schedule, most people can find 30 minutes in their days to run. With just 30 minutes, you can accomplish a lot in a single run, especially if you try speed workouts like this 30 minute fartlek workout. I am a morning runner. Why? Because you can get your run in before the day runs you down!  However, running in the morning requires careful scheduling. Unlike an after-work or after-school run, morning runs have to be completed by a certain time so you can ...
