Thank you
On this day of turkey trots and family gatherings, I’d like to take a moment to continue a tradition at HillRunner.com. I’d like to thank you for making HillRunner.com what it is.
…The numbers don’t tell the whole story
Two weeks ago, I ran 65 miles. Last week, I ran 50 miles. Which week was better?

Now, which week was better?
…Don’t stress about conditions – just race
I recently saw an article on how weather conditions affect your racing and what conditions are generally ideal for different distance races. Interesting but how does this help you?
I also was talking with my daughter about the course for an upcoming cross country race she’s running. It starts with a quite challenging hill. She was concerned about this but I reminded her that everyone in the race has to go up the same hill.
…More evidence: running is good for your joints
I know, I’m preaching to the choir. It’s also something I might have blogged about a few times before and I’m sure I will a few times again.
That said, we have yet more evidence that running is good for your knees. Also, a little on why running might be good for your cartilage.
…Downhill running
This past weekend, I was at a high school cross country meet. I spent a good amount of time watching the runners go both down a good hill and then back up it after looping around a bit.
It’s amazing to see the various teams go down the hill. You can really see which teams give downhill running a good focus and which ones don’t really worry about it.
So, if you’re going to give some focus to downhill running, what should you work on?
