Pilates vs Yoga: Which is Best for Your Running?

April 13, 2016

Pilates vs Yoga: Which is Best for Your Running Goals?

I have a not so secret (because I’m certain I’ve mentioned it already) to share with you today: I have not done yoga in months. Minus a few yoga stretches here and there, I think the last time I actually did a yoga video was...sometime in the fall of 2015? Miraculously, the lack of yoga in my life has not resulted in injury or overwhelming training fatigue. In fact, I feel as if I recover more quickly and am stronger in my running than ever. Why? One word: Pilates. Regular readers know ...

Marathon Monday: Core Work for Runners + Portland Marathon Training Week 2

June 15, 2015

Good morning, everyone! How was your weekend?  One of the most beneficial inclusions I have made to my training over the years has been core work. It has kept me injury-free, helped me run faster and farther, and provided mental and physical balance to the pounding of running. Once upon a time, even, core work was my source of income when I worked for two years as a Pilates instructor at my undergraduate college (best job ever).  Don't limit yourself to just crunches; in ...

A Short and Simple Guide to Yoga for Runners

April 30, 2015

One thing you quickly learn when you start running is that running can require more than just running. Running puts a lot of stress on our bodies and can tighten our muscles, limit our flexibility, and cause muscle soreness. Additionally, running exacerbates any existing muscular imbalances and weaknesses, which can put you at a higher risk of running-related injuries. Clearly, though, the answer is not to cut back on running. Rather, to improve mobility, balance out your muscles, and ...

My Favorite Post Run Stretches

April 9, 2015

Let's be realistic about stretching: it's one of those things that's easy to forget to do. It's like remembering to put on eye cream after washing my face at night or putting on sunscreen before a long run: there's lots of benefits for just a little effort and time, and yet somehow it's easy to skip it over. Honestly, whenever I skip stretching after a run, it's because I just want to shower and eat. Especially after a long run or hard workout, I usually regret not stretching the ...
