July 25, 2018: Training Peaks Blog: The Best Core Exercises for Runners
We all know that “doing core” is important ancillary work for endurance training efforts. However, traditional “ab circuits” (high reps, short rests) actually do very little to prevent injury or provide the stabilizing benefits we are really seeking with “core” work...

February 2018:  Techniques Magazine: Strength Training for Distance Runners. Versatile Conditioning Improves Balance and Encourages Longevity 
Many good distance coaches recognize that a strength training regimen will enhance their athletes’ durability, coordination, and therefore efficiency of movement.  But where to start?  Even if coaches do understand how to interface strength with endurance, they face countless logistical challenges such as managing their team numbers safely, lack of a weight room, and many more.  With all the time constraints encountered by high school, collegiate, and post-collegiate distance runners, strength and power sessions can easily fall...

This doesn't come from running endless miles. It comes from strength ...

June 2017: 3-Part Blog Series on Strength Training For Runners:
​As a college athlete, our field event teammates called us distance runners the “skinnies.” For us, the weight room was optional and any organized training program was, well, disorganized.
