The training schedule I’m following is one that has 3 “hard” days, 1 “moderate” day and 2 “easy” days of running. I even get to take one day off a week if I want. That means no joggling on Fridays.
On the easy days I like to add some core training exercises and the [...]

Today is the second day of my training. My personalized training scheduled called for a steady 5 mile run. The hardest part was skipping the basketball game that was going on on the court below me. I really enjoy playing basketball. But I’m in training mode now. No more b-ball [...]

Alright, today was supposed to be the start of my next marathon training schedule. Unfortunately, I haven’t had a chance to create it. Well, let me do it today.
For the last marathon I followed Hal Higdon’s 18 week Advanced Training I schedule. It was ok but I didn’t achieve the results that [...]

Sorry about the lack of posts recently. I’ve been out on vacation in South Carolina since last Friday. I will be back to regular blogging and joggling next Monday. If I get time I might get a post up here and there but don’t count on it.

This was an interview they did right at the end of the race. It’s not my best picture but it was fun to see in the paper. I especially liked that they have me juggling and 2 of the balls are in the air. (Click on [...]

I’m in that awkward phase of the running calendar where I just completed joggling a marathon but it’s too soon to start training for the next one. I’ve already decided on the race that I want to do (Toronto Waterfront Marathon) and that happens on September 24, 2006. That’s 104 days away. [...]

I was perusing Windy City Sports and found an interesting article by John Mora about how to stay focused during a long run. (I’ve liked this magazine ever since they did a short write-up on me back in October of 2004).
Anyway, the article gave three tips for staying focused during a long run. [...]

Looking at some of my fellow joggler’s websites (Zach & Michal) makes me wonder…Should I start joggling for a cause? Now, I just do it because I can. Do you think I should figure out some cause and try to raise money through my joggling? Or is it just fine that I like [...]

I just received the latest issue of Runner’s World and was pleased to see that joggling got a mention. On page 12 they mention that Zach Warren set the new world record for joggling a marathon (2:58:23). The two most impressive things about the effort 1) He ran the second half of the [...]

As a marathon joggler, you do not want to take too much time off. While you can’t start running hard again for at least a couple of weeks, you also can’t just stop exercising completely. You get out of shape quickly!
So yesterday my wife, some friends, and I participated in the Wonder Girl 5K run [...]
