Frequently Asked Questions...

I love working at a running store because I get to talk about running all day. I get to meet some really cool people and hopefully help them reach their personal goals.

I also get a lot of questions...a lot of the same questions. For the sake of some lighthearted humor, here are some of the most common questions (or general comments) and my would-be responses. Of course this is sarcastic and all in good jest, so don't take any offense to it.

"I'm not a runner, but..."
You say you're not a runner? Then why did you come to a running specialty store? If you put one foot in front of the other in a repetitive fashion, then you're a runner.

 "Are you a runner?"
No. I'm just working at a running store, standing on running shoes, and wearing a shirt that says "Run" on it. But no, I'm not a runner.

 "Do you work here?"
Ok, I know I look like one of the high school kids I'm certified to teach, but believe it or not I'm actually an adult.

 "Does this shoe have a good arch?"
No, it doesn't. "But I've heard [insert brand here] has good arch support." Well, I can assure you it doesn't. Seriously. Take the lining out of the bottom of the shoe and look inside. It's totally flat. There's nothing supportive underneath your arch, regardless of brand.

 "I have Planter's Fasciitis..."
Planter's Fasciitis, you say? You mean like the nut? Plantar fasciitis.

 "Can I try on these Hookahs?"
Sorry, we don't sell drugs here. You mean Hoka.

 "How much do these run?"
As much as you want them to. I know you're actually asking how much they cost, but I just can't resist terrible humor.

 "Saw-sony? Soxony? How do you say that?"
Saucony. Sock-ony. Don't overthink this.

 "Do my shoes look worn out to you?"
There's a hole in the bottom...so I'd say yes.

 That's all I have for now, but I'm sure I could add some in the future. So if you really want to push my buttons, stop by the store sometime and ask me all of these questions.

Base Training the Lydiard Way

This is a post I've been meaning to write for a while, but just haven't really gotten around to it. This is for anyone using the summer to gear up for a fall season of racing, whether that's a marathon, road races, or cross country. That said, this is especially for you high school and college athletes. Summer is the most important time of the season. It's when you build your base -- everything that's to come later in the fall is determined by the quality of this base. In fact, some might even say that your end-of-season peak is limited by how well you trained over the summer. Arthur Lydiard believed this. And his philosophies still form the foundation of modern-day distance training. You've probably heard (and maybe internalized) many of the common critiques of Lydiard-style training: it's old and outdated , or it's too hard, or, most common, it's just a lot of long slow distance. And low slow distance makes for long slow runners . The lat...

Why I Love Running At Withrow

One of my favorite places to do workouts and strides and general fast stuff is the track at Withrow High School in Hyde Park. No, it's not because of the newly renovated surface. No, it's not because it's a perfect 10-minute warmup and cooldown jog from my house. No, it's not because I'm a nerd and it has markings for both a 1600 and a mile. No, it's not because the school building forms a perfect "L" around the homestretch and first turn, sheltering the field from any drastic wind. No, it's not because I spent four years during college running workouts there. Actually, wait, that is part of it. The reason I love Withrow's track so much can be summed up like this: it's a true public track. If you've ever been to the track, then you know how packed it can get with people using it. And it's not just Withrow High School teams and random individuals -- the track is also regularly used by many other local high schools witho...

On Track #1: Bill Bowerman (and Frank Shorter, Too)

Bill Bowerman, the man who deserves much credit for America's elite track success in the 1960s and '70s, is also responsible for its subsequent decline in the 1980s and later. Yes, I am putting some blame on the single most legendary American track coach. Here me out: If you're reading this blog, I'm assuming you're coming in with some basic knowledge about the legacy of Bowerman and his storied U. of Oregon Ducks teams. (And if you want more info, Bowerman and the Men of Oregon is a great read) But there's more to his story than track and field. In the 1960s, he visited New Zealand coach Arthur Lydiard (proponent of high-mileage training and coach to several world record holders), where they showed him this new craze called jogging . Basically, Lydiard took the principles of training for elite athletes and applied it to everyday people, establishing jogging clubs as a means to general physical fitness for anyone. After stumbling through several run with th...
