Slow and Steady

The other women at Saturday’s training run quickly left me in the dust as we headed north on this week’s trail.  My short legs didn’t help my pace at all, but I had to keep reminding myself to take it slow to avoid injury.    

Doubt soon set in that I wasn’t going to reach my personal goal of jogging the entire distance, especially when my running partner from last…

Vacation Adventure in Our Back Yard

They say there are two kinds of people, and when it comes to vacations, that seems to be the truth. Some people pack up the car and hit the road or just fly to a destination and explore it, without any specific plans. Other people plan each part of their vacations, knowing just where they will be and what they will be doing the whole time. I’ve usually been part of the second group—planning things out. I plan where to stay and how long I will drive each day, and I make reservations ahead of…

Obey the Beep

Since joining the gym several weeks ago, I've been power-walking 3 miles on the treadmill 4-5 times a week.  After a personal training session with one of the gym's trainers, I added weight training for my "active recovery" days--days that I'm not training for the race, but still getting a workout.  So now, I power-walk three days a week, then lift weights the other three; on the 7th day I rest, a Fitness Sabbath, so to speak.

 

This past Saturday was our first training run…

Flying with crutches...

As many of you know, I recently broke my femur mountain bike riding in Williams Canon back in January (and had to be rescued by EPCSAR - http://www.epcsar.org).  Well, the real world is setting in and I need to get back to work and traveling.  I (and my family) have done quite a bit of traveling and I am working on a blog while I have limited mobility and my experiences at different airports and airlines while traveling with crutches.  Feel free to check…

Ask Crazy Legs

Hey Paul,



I am a first time runner training for the 10K San Diego Mud Run. I am in good shape but never have been a runner or trained. I started running with my team mates 3 weeks ago. First week i was super sore. Second week I pulled my right calf muscle but humped it out and finished. Trained 2 more time and the same muscle keeps pulling. Any advice on what I can do to recover while I continue to train? i have been stretching but that doesn't…

Ask Paul "Crazy Legs" Stofko

Crazylegs,



How far apart should my feet be planted when I run? I used to run, as it were, on a line, but someone recently told me that was incorrect. The feet should land approximately a foot-width apart. I've tried that, but it now feels kind of like I'm waddling—or like I just got off a horse...



Jason C.

Jason,



I never heard of a proper distance for your feet to be apart.…

Heartburn: Could it be more serious?

How often do you pop a couple antacid tablets and go on with your day? Have those tablets become part of your daily routine, like dessert after every meal? Do you ignore it, figuring you just ate too much or that the food was too spicy? Heartburn–that burning feeling in your lower chest and/or that sour taste in the back of your mouth–can sometimes be very serious.  

If you frequently have heartburn, it can evolve into GERD or Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease. Not only can GERD be very…

Marysol's question is probably one that many athletes have: What should I eat before and after a workout?

The first answer is a common one...it depends. But it's not hard to take a look at a few factors and get a solid fueling plan. We'll look…

The New-Year’s-Resolution Diet: Take Another Look

Many people who began the New Year with a resolution to lose weight bought into a quick-fix restrictive diet. And they saw results. A lot of crash diets allow for 5 or 10 pounds of weight-loss in just a couple weeks.

The problem is that overly restrictive diets aren’t possible long-term, and by now a lot of resolutions have fallen by the wayside. People have resumed their normal…
