Is 50+ MPW my magic number?

I've been running 50+ MPW for the last couple of weeks and my times are dropping pretty quickly. I did a quick search of my training log from last year and one of my best runs from last year came when I ran over 50 MPW that week. Coincidence? FWIW - I've only done 60+ MPW once. 40+ and 30+...

Whats the best way to do hill work?

What's the best way to get hill work in when there are no hills in your area? I've been putting my tread at an incline of 6 and running at a slower pace.

How to deal with teens messing with my running?

Answered by a doctor

Do any of you have any advice on how to deal with smartass teens messing with you during a run? My route takes me past a house where a teenage kid lives. Today he and some friends were hanging out in the yard tossing a football. As my husband and I ran past the kids yelled "hey buddy, catch"...

Anyone else experience the "dead legs" syndrom?

I've just finished a brutal soccer season. I've taken more of a beating than usual. I'm afraid my age is catching me and I'm trying to do too much. Over the last several weeks, my legs feel dead when I run more than 2 miles. It's not painful, but I feel like I'm plodding along - like I'm...
