Sponsorships / Products

 I currently represent Fleet Feet Cincy when I race, with a full uniform and warm-up kit designed with USATF/IAAF Rule 50 in mind.

I am, however, always interested in new sponsors from other non-running-store players within the industry (or even outside of it, as well) -- footwear, apparel, nutrition/hydration, injury prevention, etc. I can't promise logo space on my uniform (that would be something to discuss on a case-by-case basis due to various event restrictions), but we can do warm-up and cool-down layers at highly visible events (read: races). It may not be all that sexy, but believe me: people notice the fast guys. And with road race participation numbers in the thousands (and tens of thousands), that can be a sizable audience.

Additional sponsors also have a place on my blog, with a prime spot on the left column -- alongside the Fleet Feet logos and links. You will also receive promotion on my various social media accounts.

If you have a specific product that you would like me to review and/or promote, contact me and (if I agree with your product) we will work out the appropriate messaging, whether that's a blog post, sidebar image and link, or something else.

 Speaking Engagements

 While I am not a natural public speaker (or, you know, an anytime speaker...), I have given talks to groups in the past. I have spoken at the Cincinnati Hills League high school cross country camps as well as being the keynote speaker at the 2016 Cincinnati Children's Hospital Runner's Symposium.

As someone who has run competitively in high school, college, and post-college, including the US Olympic Marathon Trials, I have a ton of experience to share. I'd be glad to speak to your group.

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...

Indy Monumental HM Race Recap; Or, I'm Going to the Trials!

Hey blogosphere, sorry for the month-long hiatus. I got a little-stitious in the lead up to Indy Monumental and was worried that I was doing a little too much talking (well, writing) and not enough training. This is the race report I posted on reddit recapping the race, so I thought I'd re-post it here as well. Hey reddit! I'm mostly a lurker here, but I raced Saturday morning in Indianapolis and wanted to share. The TL;DR: I ran 1:04:33 for the half marathon, which qualifies me for the US Olympic Marathon Trials in LA this February. I also got 3rd overall, which was pretty cool, too. So anyway, here goes... But first, a shout-out to the staff at Monumental Those guys know how to put on a top-notch race. It's so refreshing to here the rhetoric coming out of the organization that says, "we're trying to be a professional event; we understand that most people want a fun event, but we also understand that some people want to come and  race  the damn thing; we...
