For John Pitzel, running is something that helps him de-stress. Therefore, when it comes to his races, the last thing he wants to do is choose races that cause him to stress out about his performance/his results. The party at the back of the pack? That's right where he wants to be! Check out the full show notes for today's episode at http://DizRuns.com/922 Today’s episode of the show is sponsored...

Fingers crossed, races are going to be a regular thing again soon(ish). If you're like some of the runners I know (and coach!), you already have a pretty full slate of races for the rest of 2021. With that in mind, preparing for a return to racing is going to be a little different this year than it has in the past. And as you might expect, I have a few suggestions to (hopefully) help make your pre...

What do you do when it's too cold to run outside? (And yes, too cold can be a thing!) If you just turn to the treadmill, then keep on keeping on. Hate the treadmill as much as I do?

Maybe you could (should?) do the same from time to time? Check out the full blog post for today's episode, whic...
