by Mary Hrovat It sounds like a parlor trick or gimmick, to walk 2,024 miles in 2024—trivial but harmless. It’s not like hiking the Appalachian or Pacific Crest Trail or climbing the highest peak on each continent, or running a marathon. But it is similar to a marathon in that the number involved is...

Route 135 through Ashland, Massachusetts, is a relatively quiet area. But one day per year, in April, this road is packed with thousands of people running the Boston Marathon cheered on by spectators. There are several historical markers commemorating the event, but one located directly across from ...

A rather satisfying race, if far from my best times, despite usual headwinds, where I set my own pace early enough, despite a fast start (19’36” at 5k!), and played ‘hare’ for a female runner from Granville—the harbour town in the Manche peninsula facing Mont Saint Michel and the Channel Islands, an...

I look forward to this race every year—a chill fall half marathon at the base of the Tetons is usually a great way to close out my season before winter sets in, but at this moment the AQI in Jackson Hole is 235, firmly in the “very unhealthy” range. Instead, I’m reading a study on the impact of air ...

Black Squirrel is the local trail half-marathon that I've finished five times since 2016. I registered to run it again this year, but had to scratch because of my Achilles tendonitis.

A chance glance at a local newspaper, while checking for path conditions in the Zigzag Ranger station, made me aware of a local race taking place next to our vacation rental in Mount Hood Village! I first registered for the 5K then upgraded for the 10K, as the half-marathon sounded too much, esp. af...

[Whoops.] Athletes who ran the recent “City Half” course in San Francisco might have thought they’d run the fastest half-marathon of their lives.

A couple weeks ago I raced the Grand Teton Half Marathon, the first of the three local half marathons in Jackson Hole this year. I wasn’t planning on writing a race report for it because it was a quick and uneventful race, but since I didn’t get to write one for Ironman 70.3 Boulder, which I had to ...

Running a marathon is difficult. There is of course the essential difficulty of running for twenty-six point two miles in a single session, which will have you exercising for several hours. It is demanding, mentally as well as physically. As you progress from mile one to five, then ten, eventually s...

It’s Marathon Monday… I still love watching the race, but after qualifying for Boston 2020 and then not getting to run, it still makes me feel a little sad, especially since my marathon days are likely done* after I broke myself training for NYC in 2021.

[Goofy collective nouns are fun.] It’s Marathon Monday here in Boston, one of the very best days of the year.

The persistent cough I’ve had for weeks is finally getting better. I started running again (small steps). Originally, I wanted to start my marathon preparation a few weeks ago, but I had to postpone to get healthy again first. This means I can’t do a 16-week prep as usual, so I’ll do a 12-week versi...

Last week the kids were still at home, so my week was mostly filled with care tasks.

I only managed to put in a few runs. Last week...

This year was a big one for my running, so it’s worth doing a retrospective. What went well? I ran my first marathon and came second. The training paid off! I finished in 5 hours, which feels like a decent time for a marathon with 1,330m of elevation on a baking hot day. Fuelling went perfectly; the...

That’s right. I invented the term. Just now. And in the near future I will run a Solitarathon©, which is a marathon organized and carefully planned for one person.

Wow, what a lovely, inspiring story this is: in 2022, Gary McKee ran a marathon every single day. On weekdays, he got up early and completed his run before work. And along the way, he inspired a bunch of people to join him (one work colleague ran 92 marathons w/ him) and raised £1 million for Macmil...

As a child, you touched something hot, and it burned you. That pain gave you a piece of information: be careful touching hot things. When you sign up to run a marathon, you are signing up for pain. But whether or not you keep running is up to you. It’s been said that “pain is inevitable but sufferin...
