The Neck Is Doing Much Better

Thanks for the emails over the weekend; my neck is doing much better tonight than it was a couple days ago. On Friday afternoon, I tweaked or pulled something when I began my run that led to my spending the rest of the afternoon on the couching and requiring assistance to get up. [...]

This just in: Breaking your neck still not recommended…

Today reminds me a lot of my birthday a couple of years ago, when I pulled a muscle in my neck and had to cut back on my training for a few weeks.
I didn’t hear any cracks today, and it isn’t nearly as painful, but I managed to tweak or pull something when I started [...]

Tyson Gay Updates

It was not too long ago that Tyson Gay ran the fastest 100 meters that any human has ever done. He had the assistance of a good tailwind, which will keep him out of the record books, but that is still impressive none the less.

Ouch! I Tweaked my Back

Friday afternoon, I decided to head upstairs for a nice Independence Day row. I did my usual 5 minute warmup (light rowing, roughly 1 km) and then got off the erg to stretch.

When Injuries Throw A Wrench In Your Routine

Quick question. My orthopedist said no more jogging. I’m only allowed elliptical without the arm motion, light swimming and walking. (Lower disc issues). I’ve lost about 25 lbs or so and scared that since I have to give up the other stuff I was doing (mainly dance, body toning etc) I did that I’ll [...]

Should I ignore my doctor and run the Boston Marathon?

Last night I received an email from Jane, one of my readers who is training for this weekend’s Boston Marathon. Jane’s training was going really well, she felt as though she were peaking at just the right time, she had just started her taper…and then she got injured. Sound familiar to you? [...]

This Week Last Year: Running Injuries and Dying Sports

This week last year I got to get back up on my pulpit and offer my unsolicited opinion on a topic in running, which I had not done for a while.

This Week Last Year: Fusion and Time Off

This week last year was mostly centered around local news, but there were a few articles that were worth revisiting.

Scott continued our themed articles by discussing common weight lifting injuries. This week two years ago I shared Scott’s recipe for roasted vegetables, a mainstay in my diet since then.

This Week Last Year: Headphones and Injuries

I felt great after running in New York City, but I can not say that the marathon took no toll on my body at all. It was very obvious after I returned to the weight room this week last year that squats and lunges right after a marathon can leave you sore for a [...]
