May 16 - The results from the 2012 Heartland 39.3 Series have been tabulated. Men's results | Women's results May 14 - Besides numerous road races and a long trail race at Lake Perry this weekend, check out Mike Eglinski's video of his run at the Kill Creek Sprint event complete with video (no sound) and active-map. You can follow his route with what he saw on the map and what was really in front of him. The video even orients the map for you (beginners: this is Orienteering 101). Good armchair orienteering. Next local O' event is June 10 at the Clinton Overlook Park. Among the races this weekend, a smaller crowd at the Truman 5K in Independence, MO with no runners from the Lawrence area attending. Instead a lot of local names were at the Running with the Cows Half Marathon in Bucyrus, KS. Sunday races included Ben Holmes' Rock On trail races at Perry Lake and the KC Express' Mothers Day 5K in Overland Park - both well attended. And there were more races (check with MARA for results). Not to be ignored is the six-ton gorilla of an event - 13,000 attended last weekend's Warrior Dash. Beware Lawrencians, Red Dog is thinking of doing a warrior dash. May 10 - "I stopped signing up for races when I found out you can buy safety pins at the store." - from Andy Norris' Facebook page. Thanks to Paul Shimon (Winfield) for sharing this video clip of Kenenisa Bekele's 5000m win in 2009.

Here's a blog about reducing the risk of running injuries. RUNNERS….looking to improve your efficiency, increase your mileage, and stay on the road (i.e. keep injuries at bay)? As runners, we love to run, and we crave those natural endorphins provided by each outing. We can get our “runner’s high” by running anywhere from 2 to 50+ miles. We each know how our own body responds to training from the inside-out. We carefully plan our courses and mileage to perfect our training for the ultimate performance at our upcoming 5k, 10k, ½ marathon, marathon, and even ultras. But sometimes a training program can lack a crucial piece of the puzzle for improving running efficiency, endurance, and injury prevention.What is this crucial piece of training that some runners miss? - HIP STABILITY more Archives
