Sport Science, Nutrition, and Training

The proper training and nutrition is important in being able to run efficiently as well as staying healthy.  Since each person is different, the information found in the blog posts worked for me.  That said, each person needs to best understand their limits as well as explore what works for them.

I firmly believe that if one keeps their balance, including balancing the needs of the family, that running is very rewarding.   The following posts include some of my research as well as sites I recommend. And those who of you who are runnerds, you will find included different scientific research related to running.
