"Running isn’t a sport for pretty boys…It’s about the sweat in your hair and the blisters on your feet. Its the frozen spit on your chin and the nausea in your gut. It’s about throbbing calves and cramps at midnight that are strong enough to wake the dead. It’s about getting out the door and running when the rest of the world is only dreaming about having the passion that you need to live each and every day with. It’s about being on a lonely road and running like a champion even when there’s not a single soul in sight to cheer you on. Running is all about having the desire to train and persevere until every fiber in your legs, mind, and heart is turned to steel. And when you’ve finally forged hard enough, you will have become the best runner you can be. And that’s all that you can ask for."

The myths about buying running shoes
Among a handful of great tips, I think the debunking of the below myth is one of the greatest things ever. So great, in fact, that it makes me feel really good about Mizuno - as a company - and what they’re trying to do here. Sure they’re still trying to sell a product, but apart from that, they seem to have actual runners in their midst who GET IT and have imparted wisdom on us. I can only hope these people are more deeply involved in the company.
The key to great running is finding the right shoe.
Myth Buster: Yes, I work for a running shoe company which makes great shoes but the key to great running isn’t the shoes. Shoes are a useful tool that we all need, but the key to great running is health and consistency. Another words, great running is being able to run on a daily basis. Shoes certainly help, but the best running shoe is one you never even notice.

INSANITY and a Marathon - FREE Training Program
Noticed one of the runners I follow on Twitter (@jimblake) started a company that provides race training programs that incorporate both the INSANITY workout and running. I know not everyone wants to run a million miles a day to train and this is a pretty awesome alternative!
I urge you to take a look - he’s offering FREE training programs for marathons and half marathons!
