“The advice I have for beginners is the same philosophy that I have for runners of all level of experience and ability - consistency, a sane approach, moderation and making your running an enjoyable, rather than dreaded, part of your life.”
Bill Rodgers
This week for Interview Tuesday I talked to Dustin Mitchell
iRunFar.com's This Week in Running: March 25, 2019
The World Cross-Country Championships are this weekend in Aarhaus Denmark - Here is info on the entry list and prize money. This is the men's preview and the women's preview.
What Aarhaus is doing to save the World Cross-Country Championships. Sad that an event that once was was run every year, now every other year, and was run by the greats from 1500M on up now needs saving but it needs something and Aarhaus is working to do so.

Some thoughts on the marathon taper

How many of these have you run?
The US trail team is announced for the 2019 Trail World Championships June 8th in Portugal
Some thoughts from Barkley Marathons finisher John Kelly on how we tend to glorify the suffering in endurance sports often in ways that are not healthy - "Look How Tough I Am!"
While I do not think positive thinking will always get you to the finish line - sometime things happen, it for sure is part, an important part at that, of getting to the end of your race - The Power of Positive Thinking
The Art of Suffering - With the Barkley Marathons expected to be started sometime this weekend, as of posting this it had not started, suffering is definitely part of the game
Just heard Nicky Spinks is running Barkley - if you do not know about Nicky watch the video down in the video section - I realize it is her first time but she is no novice and would give her a great chance for the "fun run" if not all 5 loops
Retooling your running mechanics to be a better trail runner

Running groups are a great way to get to know people but also a great way to help you progress and get out and run. If you are in the Elizabethtown KY area check out the Running Soles Group and if you are closer to Campbellsville check out the Campbellsville Running Club. Have another local running group in KY let me know and I will list it.

I have run a 1/2 marathon and Marathon here, actually my first ever win at the marathon, and the trails are great. Run The (un)Pleasant Hill Trail Runs (5K, 10K & 25K)at the Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill on April 13, 2019
Run the Kentucky Derby Festival 1/2 Marathon or Marathon April 27, 2019 - got my BQ there for 2016 and looking to get it for 2020
