With everything that's going on, how could they not be? Take a break from all the gloom and doom in the news and escape with some running humor. These items celebrate runners' unique sense of humor:
You Know You're a Runner When…: Once you've been running for a while, you realize that you have certain habits and say things that only fellow runners can understand and relate to, such as referring to five miles as a "short run." See how many of these "You Know You're a Runner When…" items you're guilty of.

Comments (0)PermalinkShould I Stretch Before or After Running?Wednesday October 8, 2008I talk to lots of runners who are confused about whether they should stretch before or after running, or both. Now a new study offers more evidence to suggest that it's best to not stretch cold muscles and wait until after your run to stretch.
Researchers from the University of Nevada Las Vegas found that two common pre-running stretches for the hamstrings and quadriceps may actually reduce performance by decreasing leg power. "Developing flexibility is important for reducing sports injury, but the time to stretch is after, not before, performance," said UNLV kinesiology professor and study co-author Bill Holcomb.

Comments (1)PermalinkMarathon CountdownMonday October 6, 2008It's fall marathon season and with lots of big marathons coming up in the next couple of weeks (Chicago, Marine Corps, New York City), many runners have already begun or will soon be starting their tapering period.
During the last couple of weeks of your training, it's important that you taper, or cut back your mileage, to give your body and mind a chance to rest, recover, and prepare for your marathon. What you do and don't do during your tapering period can really make or break your race experience. Here are a couple of tips to keep in mind for the last two weeks before your marathon:
Resist the urge to run longer and harder during this time. You're not going to make any fitness improvements with two weeks to go before the marathon. Try to remember: Less is more. Running less reduces your risk of injury, gives you time to rest and recover, and allows your muscles to store carbohydrates in preparation for the big race.
Eat a diet rich in complex carbohydrates (whole-grain breads, pasta, and cereals), and drink plenty of fluids. In the week before your marathon, about 65-70% of your calories should come from carbs.
Sleep is also an important part of the tapering process. You don't need to sleep for excessive amounts of time, but try to get at least eight hours a night.

Comments (0)PermalinkStudy: Listening to Music Increases EnduranceFriday October 3, 2008New research from Brunel University in London reveals what many runners have known for years: Music can help you run longer. The study, due to be published in the Journal of Sport & Exercise Psychology, found that carefully selected music can significantly increase a person's physical endurance and make exercise a more positive experience.
Thirty participants ran on a treadmill while listening to pre-selected rock or pop music, including tracks by Queen, the Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Madonna. They were asked to keep their cadence in strict time with the beat. Reseacher Dr. Costas Karageorghis found that, when carefully selected according to scientific principles, music can enhance endurance by 15% and improve the "feeling states" of exercisers, helping them to derive much greater pleasure from exercise. The exercisers remained positive even when working out at a very high intensity and close to physical exhaustion.
Of course, I can't report on these findings without including a running safety warning. Although running with music can help you run farther, it's best that you only use your iPod or other music listening device while on the treadmill. If you have to listen to music while running outside, keep the volume very low or leave one earbud out, so you can still hear what's going on around you.
