  1. A recent study notes shoes don't reduce pronation, they simply slow down the motion. Yet running barefoot did reduce the amount of movement. 7:27 PM Feb 14th via web
  2. Run with a 'shuffle' gait? A low shin carry is a result of low power into the ground - caused by a strength and/or flexibility deficit 6:24 PM Feb 6th via Twitter for BlackBerry®
  3. Quads & glutes should be flexible to allow for high shin carry and high hip flexion. Tightness in these areas results in a low shuffle gait. 5:13 AM Dec 8th, 2011 via Twitter for BlackBerry®
  4. No matter what time of year, or when your goal race is, always practice your top/sprint speed each week with 80-100 meter strides. 6:36 AM Dec 5th, 2011 via Twitter for BlackBerry®
  5. When foamrolling use a 0-10 pain scale. No bodypart should be above a 3, particularly the glutes, quads, and lower back. If so keep rolling! 6:11 AM Dec 2nd, 2011 via Twitter for BlackBerry®
  6. Avoid injuries with DAILY checks of self-massage and stretching. Then emphasize balance, posture, and power with exercises and plyometrics. 8:57 AM Oct 25th, 2011 via Twitter for BlackBerry®
  7. Smart Running September 2011 r8t.us/nu81r3 10:31 AM Sep 9th, 2011 via RatePoint
  8. Avoid the most common training error: too much effort on easy/off days, too little effort on hard days. Rest well to be ready to push hard. 1:10 PM Jun 8th, 2011 via Twitter for BlackBerry®
  9. Smart Running March 2011 http://r8t.us/knXEcD 3:00 AM May 30th, 2011 via RatePoint
  10. Total Conditioning for Runners starts Wed June 8th! These group workouts start at 630am and 6pm. Info at bostonrunningcenter.com/tcr.cfm! 6:00 AM May 5th, 2011 via Twitter for BlackBerry®
  11. Smart Running March 2011 http://r8t.us/gGXS39 1:00 PM Mar 9th, 2011 via RatePoint
  12. Max flexibility AND max strength in the hams and glutes is key to allow for both a high knee lift and then a strong pull into the ground. 6:54 PM Feb 22nd, 2011 via Twitter for BlackBerry®
  13. Don't let a HR monitor limit your progress. As you get more fit you can handle higher heart rates than what might be suggested. 9:19 AM Feb 16th, 2011 via Twitter for BlackBerry®
  14. Uneven tightness in shoulder, chest, back? A common result is knee/hip pain as the imbalanced UB excessively rotates hips during arm swing. 8:57 AM Feb 5th, 2011 via Twitter for BlackBerry®
  15. Every run should have a purpose, and that of an easy run is recovery. If these are done slightly harder than easy, over-training is likely. 5:28 PM Jan 13th, 2011 via Twitter for BlackBerry®
  16. That time of year again, let's all share the conditions of the roads at avoidingtreadmills.com! Spread the word so it works for us! 3:46 AM Jan 8th, 2011 via Twitter for BlackBerry®
  17. Good form should feel like you're running across lily pads - quick hips, fast pull, while never reaching in front or pushing too far back. 10:35 AM Dec 15th, 2010 via Twitter for BlackBerry®
  18. Cold and windy today? Perhaps run a workout only by exertion, not for pace. Wind resistance is a great strengthening tool! 11:48 AM Dec 7th, 2010 via Twitter for BlackBerry®
  19. Hey all! We'll be posting mostly running tips here, maybe some BRC news and special discounts. We'll find something interesting to say ... 10:26 AM Dec 6th, 2010 via web
