Back in the day before the internet and social media, one had to be published in a magazine or book to have a public voice and get information out to the public. Now, everyone can have a public voice, and that can be a problem. I read so much bad information on the internet …
I have a bad habit. I put a forkful or spoonful of food in my mouth before finishing to chew and swallow the food already in my mouth from the previous forkful or spoonful. This may not seem like such a big deal, but it is because of why I do it. We’ll get to …

Women think it’s odd that I know so much about their menstrual cycle. But I don’t think it’s odd at all since many gynecologists and nearly all of the scientists who study women’s physiology are male. What I like most about women’s physiology is how female runners can capitalize on their unique physiology to run better. …

I often wonder how personal trainers, coaches, or people who run or work out on their own come up with the number of reps for their workouts. There’s no magic in doing 5 or 6 or 7 reps. And when training in a group, there’s little reason why everyone should do the same number of …
With my birthday coming up on March 14, I’m taking my mid-life crisis to the road… literally. And I’m going to share it with you.
My twin brother often tells me that if I wanted to be wealthy, I shouldn’t have pursued a PhD. He’s probably right. Most PhDs don’t make millions.

I have always been a running purist. Perhaps it’s because I grew up running at a time when there were no cell phones, iPods, apps, heart rate monitors, or GPS sports watches. Indeed, I wore cotton (aghast!) T-shirts and socks to run when I was in middle school, high school, and college. Boy, have things …
One million. That’s how many times I have seen or heard of a runner training incorrectly. I can’t stand runners training wrong all the time. It bothers me on a deep level. I’m going to give away a “secret” of training. Every runner should post this on his or her bathroom mirror. To be the …
Growing up, my twin brother was a big fan of Twinkies. Me, not so much. I could take them or leave them. I was always more a fan of sugar cereals. Cinnamon Toast Crunch was my favorite. As an adult, I like bananas. A lot. I eat one almost every day. It’s a good thing …
It’s been a few days since returning from Asia, and I wanted to share some thoughts of my trip. Things started off well teaching the REVO2LUTION RUNNINGTM certification in Singapore and Philippines. Great group for the workshop in Singapore hosted by Fit Singapore! At Marina Bay in Singapore. Out to eat in Singapore and …
