Ask the Coach: Breathless in Iowa

Ask the Coach: Sweet Togetherness?

Although I’ve been an outdoor person in the past, I’ve become somewhat of a couch potato. Recently I picked up Trail Runner magazine and thought, “Why not?” But how can I convince my husband this would be a great thing to do together?

Ask the Coach: "Walk" a Four Letter Word?

I am new to trail running and currently run three miles on roads to nearby trails then three miles on trails and back. I want to train for at least a 30K, and wonder if walking is allowed.
