Right now, running is the great passion of my physical life.  I have spent a lot of time researching and reading about the sport, from following the discussions on 5k training on letsrun to researching the so called “running cult” divine madness.  Here is a selection of interesting resources for the running obsessed, don’t forget to check out the jock roll for even more running resources.

Running Generally

Running Ahead – In my opinion the best message boards on running, a number of very fast runners are regulars.  Highly recommended.

Letsrun message board – For the truly obsessed, including high school track nerds and guys who worry about what kind of socks Galen Rupp wears.

Logic of Long Distance – Excellent blog on running and philosophy by a sub-16 5k runner who happens to be a professor of philosophy.

100K Lifetime Miles – Amby Burfoot’s inspiring blog chronicling those who have run over 100,000 lifetime miles.
