Hobbyists love handing out advice to the newbies in their ranks, and runners are no exception to this rule. I can’t scroll past three posts on Instagram without coming across some new training or racing tidbit, whether it be anecdotal from a running enthusiast or professional from a coach/physical therapist/nutritionist/etc. What can I say; the algorithm gets me. Well,...

Happy Global Running Day! In these holiest of hours, let me share with you how I have totally deviated from the approved path. Guys, I have strayed away from the professional shoe fitting.

Hello again! Sorry for that gap in service; I’ve been on a whirlwind tour of Not My Apartment. First I went to North Carolina (where I ran a 5K!), then over to Maryland for some family time in Ocean City.
