This week last year, I offered some advice on what to wear to a race to prevent “severing your leg at the thigh” from chafing.
I tried to decide if it was worth running in an ultramarathon a few weeks before my next marathon. Ultimately, I decided that yes, it was a good idea.
I shared [...]

Last year, the IAAF put on a fantasy track & field league for the Osaka world championships. This past Winter, the USATF put on an event for the Visa Championship Series of races. I really enjoyed taking part in both leagues last year.
Well, this Summer the fun begins again. Both the USATF [...]

April 11th, 2008 — , Reader Questions, track from Blaine Moore @ Run to Win
Rachel in Wisconsin began running this Winter to lose some weight and get healthier. She was working out at her local gym, and was wondering whether she should always go counter-clockwise on the indoor track there. The track is only 67 meters around, so the turns are very tight.
My general advice on any [...]

Imagine yourself in a 600 meter dash, you are coming up to the second to last turn with 200 meters to go, you get cut off, and you fall on the track. Hard. What would you do?
If you are Heather Dorniden, you get mad, you get up, and you find another gear. [...]

How did your fantasy track team do at the Tyson Invitational “Pick & Win” for the Visa Championship Series? My team didn’t do nearly as well as at the Reebok games, but better than at the Millrose Games, and put me into 231st place overall with 228 points between the three events. I am [...]

January 8th, 2008 — Equipment, Garmin, Personal, heart rate, track from Blaine Moore @ Run to Win
I wore my new Garmin ForeRunner 305 to the indoor track today so that I could make use of the heart rate monitor. That aspect of my workout was a failure, but I learned quite a few things about my new GPS watch and running on an indoor track.
When I got home, [...]

2007 has been a really busy year here at Run to Win. The website has really grown. I wrote more this year than I did last year, and received about half again as many comments and trackbacks. More than twice as many people visited me this year than did in 2006, and [...]

I was in Texas a couple of weeks ago, and the conversation came around to Fantasy Sports (such as football and baseball) and whether that model could be applied to other sports. What do I then discover, then, but that there is one for Track & Field! Last night I wrote about the [...]
