In 16 weeks I’m taking on the biggest physical challenge of my life — a 50k trail run. Easy for an athletic person with lots of free time, but that’s not me. I wasn’t born with grace and athleticism. And time definitely isn’t on my side. My plan is to get creative with the time […]

Three years of no activity. Then … training for a 50k race. Crazy, right? The first step of training for an ultramarathon run after three years of little activity is gauging your fitness level. That’s exactly what I did on August 17, 2016. The plan was simple: Walk one mile to warm up and then […]

Making time for exercise Adults who are physically active are healthier and less likely to develop many chronic diseases than adults who aren’t active — regardless of their gender or ethnicity.

The post 2: Too Busy to Exercise appeared first on 16 Weeks.
In episode 2 we talked about different ways to get in a workout during a busy week. One of the things that I started doing this semester is running to campus — run commuting. I teach from 9:00 to 11:30 in the mornings, so running to work lets me squeeze in about five and a […]

After bonking 10 miles into a 15 mile run, I found myself with a whole new set of questions. At this point in my training, a 15 mile long run should be tough, but manageable. So, what went wrong? I reached out to Dr. Laurel Wentz, an Assistant Professor of Nutrition Science at East Carolina […]

In a few hours I will be hiking 26.5 miles from Hanging Rock State Park to the top of Pilot Mountain. This is all part of a fundraiser my wife and I are taking part in for Make-A-Wish of Eastern NC. So far, our team of six has raised nearly $17,000. Make-A-Wish is an organization that […]

In the next episode we’re talking about nutrition, so here is a recipe of one of my favorite dishes, Quinoa Pancakes. The recipe calls for it to be topped with salsa (which I love at […]

The difference between a good day and a bad day at the race is nutrition. – Eric Orton, World-renowned Running Coach In episode 3 we talked about the importance of hydration for runners. I ran 15 miles … ok, it was more like 10 miles and then mostly walked the last 5 because I was so […]
The post 4: Mom said Eat Your Veggies – Nutrition for Runners appeared first on 16 Weeks.
Cross-training includes Hiking too! Training comes in many different forms. I often see people punish themselves if they don’t stick to a prescribed training plan 100%. When you think like this … more times than not you’re setting yourself up for failure. Sometimes, when your plan calls for a long run, you go for a […]

Getting fitted for running shoes It’s been 13 years since I went in for a proper shoe fitting. So many things have changed, both in the running shoe world and in me physically in that time. It’s time to replace my beloved Merrell Ascend Glove trail shoes, but I’m having trouble finding a replacement. Time […]
