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 [...]

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 [...]
Boom goes the dynamite!
Posted by Jake Rosen on May 7th, 2010
That became one of my favorite phrases after hearing it a few years ago in an instant viral video. I had to say it today because I ran 23 miles this morning. That is the longest I’ve run since before my stress fracture. I’m feeling a little tired and somewhat queasy, but I’m feeling great [...]
Product Review: Sof Sole Performance Insoles
Posted by Jake Rosen on May 5th, 2010
I was recently contact by Whitney, from Sof Sole. She offered to send me a couple products to try out. I’ve now used the Sof Sole insoles for three weeks and feel like I can offer an accurate review. Bare in mind, I’m evaluating them based on my own running style and habits.
Sof Sole sent [...]
What motivates me to run?
Posted by Jake Rosen on May 3rd, 2010
When I started running races, I had a big chip on my shoulder. I was in the process of recovering from my second heart surgery and an atmosphere of limitations. As a result, much of my motivation to run used to be based on proving something. I wanted to prove something to myself and those [...]

I’m an avid reader of some great running blogs and media outlets. As much as I love actually running, I also love reading and talking about running. I truly enjoy hearing about other runner’s successes, struggles, results, product reviews and anything else they share. In homage to the great running story tellers out there, I’m [...]
Keeping with the routine while traveling
Posted by Jake Rosen on April 26th, 2010
We all know its difficult to keep up with your running routine when traveling. Whether you’re traveling for work or pleasure, being removed from the daily routine and settings leads us to make excuses about why we can’t run.
I’ve encountered the situation many times. I decide its more important to review e-mail or notes before [...]
Am I addicted to running? Are You?
Posted by Jake Rosen on April 20th, 2010
After coming in from a 13-mile run this weekend, my fiancee jokingly told me that I was addicted to running. To be honest, I don’t disagree with her. There are more examples in my short memory of me being addicted to running than the contrary.
Several months ago, I felt the growing pain of shin splints. [...]
