Are you eating these foods and drinking these drinks?
Written by: Matt Fitzgerald
Runners need a lot of carbohydrate. Why? Because your muscles are fueled primarily on carbohydrate when you run hard. Thus, sports nutrition experts generally recommend that runners get approximately 60 percent of their daily calories from carbohydrate.

Improve your ability to relax inside an effort with this yoga pose.
Written by: Sage Rountree
In yoga, we look to strike a balance between effort (sthira) and ease (sukha) in each pose—to find the line between the hard and the soft. The same holds in running. We need to work hard enough to hit our chosen pace, but easy enough to maintain our speed over our chosen distance. It’s a constant negotiation.

There’s no disputing the fact that the injury rate in running is very high. But is footwear really to blame?
Written by: Matt Fitzgerald
The injury rate in running is very high. No one knows exactly how high, but whatever the exact number is, it’s a greater number than is seen in virtually any other form of exercise. This unfortunate discrepancy was pointed out in a 1998 study involving triathletes, who, of course, do a lot of swimming, cycling and running. Researchers from Straffordshire University, England, found that among elite triathletes, 62.1 percent of injuries suffered during a five-year period were caused by running, 34.5 percent by cycling, and only 3.4 percent by swimming. Among mid-level triathletes the numbers were 64.3 percent, 25.0 percent and 10.7 percent. And among recreational triathletes there was a bit of a shift toward swimming with a breakdown of 58.7 percent running injuries, 15.9 percent cycling injuries and 15.4 percent swimming injuries.
