Sure, He Was Running Naked, But Did He Wear Shoes?
But did he leave his shoes on? The windchill in Washington, D.C., hovered around 25 degrees today. Sounds like the perfect day to, oh, take off all our clothes, stuff ‘em in a duffel bag, and go for a quick run around the White House! What, you disagree? Well, according to NBC: The man apparently [...]

Who Are the Toughest Carolinians of Them All?
Wow. Just wow. That’s all we can say after reading the ultra-resumes of the nominees for the WNC Outdoors Athlete of the Decade. I mean, how many 135-milers have you run? On a trail. In northern Minnesota. In February. Okay, fine, but did you follow it up a few days later with a short run [...]
January One and Done Got Done
MadMayo Running Club once again swarmed the streets of downtown Madison, this time to ring in the new year with the January One and Done 1-Mile Walk/Run. There was plenty of hale and hearty fellowship, walking, jogging, chatting, and even a little—well, let’s be honest—pooping. Fortunately there were plenty of doggie bags to go around. Our numbers even reached double digits! New walk/run buddies were made, and the MMJOD Championship Trophy was awarded in democratic fashion via our world-famous raffle. Refreshments at the Harris residence topped off this MMRC event with a touch of well-organized class. If the January One and Done is any indication, 2010 is going to be a banner year.

Resolution Reading for Runners
Runners are stats-crazy, goal-oriented, number-loving fools, which makes this whole business of New Year’s resolutions a perfect pastime for us when the weather is cold enough to drive us to our treadmills. Of course, a few hardy MMRCers have no issues with icicles dangling from their hair while they speed down local trails. (Dena, we’re looking at you!)

The Early Runner Gets the… Less Effective Workout?
You know those early bird runners lapping the town at the crack of the crack? Yeah, those people. Well, our bright-eyed pre-coffee pals may think they’re getting a better workout, but according to researchers at Liverpool John Moores University in England, “not only are performances better in the late afternoon and early evening, but, contrary [...]
Run to Victory Is About More Than Running
