I highly recommend reading the amazing running books out there in the world, but if you’re in the mood for an inspirational running movie at no cost, Hulu has a couple to chose from:
1. Spirit of a Marathon
I watched “Spirit of a Marathon” before running the Thunder Road Marathon in Charlotte last winter. I had [...]

Taking advantage of great runs
Posted by Jake Rosen on July 28th, 2010
I’m headed back to my college’s campus this weekend for a friend’s wedding. I’m obviously excited for the event, to celebrate with them and see friends. I’m just as excited to run around campus and the surrounding area. For those that don’t know, I attended Kenyon College. Kenyon is a small liberal arts school in [...]
First Vibram Fivefinger run on concrete
Posted by Jake Rosen on July 19th, 2010
I used my KSO fivefingers on concrete for the first time last week. I ran four miles, the entirety of which was on a mix of street and sidewalk. I felt great during my run, but as soon as I stopped I felt tightness in my calves. I stretched them as well if not better [...]
The Evolution of Running
Posted by Jake Rosen on July 15th, 2010
Humans most likely began their running evolution out necessity. Maybe they needed to run from a predator, to hunt their next meal or for shelter in a tumultuous situation.

Vibram FiveFingers
Posted by Jake Rosen on July 12th, 2010
My amazing finacee bought me a brand new pair of Vibram FiveFingers for my birthday. She originally bought me the Bikila model, which is designed exclusively for running. The Bikila’s have a thicker and stronger soles, which is better for street running.

Marathon runners vs. World Cup soccer players
Posted by Jake Rosen on June 15th, 2010
I’ve been watching World Cup matches whenever I can. The more I watch, the more I wonder if I can keep up with or even outrun some of these world class athletes. That question led me to do a little research on the average distance and type of running a soccer player endures during a [...]
Susan G. Komen Triad 2010
Posted by Jake Rosen on June 14th, 2010
I participated in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in Raleigh this weekend. The events were held at Meredith College, just outside of downtown Raleigh. It was an amazing experience, with about 25,000 people coming out and supporting the cause.
I had never been part of a race that large. Despite the immense amount [...]

Posted by Jake Rosen on June 10th, 2010
I’ll be running the Raleigh/Triangle area Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure this weekend. I won’t be running it alone. A good portion of my office mates will be running it as well. The goal for us is obviously to raise awareness and funds for the Komen breast cancer movement, but also for team [...]
National Running Day!
Posted by Jake Rosen on June 2nd, 2010
It’s been quite some time since my last post, but that’s not because I haven’t been running. I’ve been unbelievably busy with work, planning a wedding and all the other things that go on in life. I’ve been using all the spare time I have to get out and run.
What better time to start [...]
