  • The Long Run – Two Bridges

    Considering the week I’d had, I was feeling pretty good when Joe from Movement Movement and I started out on a 13 miler on Saturday afternoon.  It was down Gates avenue to Bedford, then Bedford through the Satmar portion of Williamsburg and up and over the Williamsburg bridge down the Eastside greenway back over the…

  • The BQ(Q) – Tim T

    I met Tim at a Running Ahead meet up after last year’s New York City Marathon.  He struck me as a smart guy with good taste in beer.  His thoughtful response to this questionnaire proves I was right.  If you’re interested in what makes runners run, you’re going to want to read this one, especially…

  • The End of the Barefoot Running Craze?

    If who I see running loops in parks, and number of threads on running message boards, are any indication, barefoot running seems to have finally moved from all consuming fad to persistent running subgenre.  Good.  I’m happy to have barefoot running at the fringes where I can celebrate the eccentrics who do it well without…

    The Long Run – Battle Hill

    I haven’t run more than ten miles in over six months, so I knew today’s twelve miler was going to be a bit of a suffer fest.  It was – twelve miles in 2:15:40 is pathetic, but it’s a start. My goal was pretty simple – run twelve easy miles and find the highest point…

  • Friday Inspiration – The Long Run

    My road to recovery continues.  I’ll be running my first legitimate “long” this weekend – twelve miles of Brooklyn adventure.  I’m really looking forward to it.  When I think of long run videos, I always return to this one of Ryan Hall and Josh Cox from back in the day when they both ran in Mammoth Lakes.  Hall…

    Running Heroes – The Six Women of the 1972 New York Marathon

    The primary means of political dialogue in America is through sports.  The fight for racial integration took place on the baseball field.  We have wrestled with the equal rights for women in school sports, on golf courses, and in distance running.  We use sports to argue over who is an American*, to champion animal rights,…
