Running nutrition - Nutrition can determine the success or the failure of a running performance. As a matter of fact, eating the proper way and the proper foods can help a runner recover and perform better, repair muscles and maintain the right energy level. Here is a growing collection of articles about nutrition for runners.
In the Land of a Thousand Hills - Rwanda, known as the "Land of a Thousand Hills", is a fabulous place to run. The capital city of Kigali is perched 4,800 feet above sea level and is knit together by a network of well-paved roads. There are dirt paths everywhere, soft and forgiving on the knees, radiating into the surrounding countryside.
Trail running along the Great Wall of China - There were next to no foreign athletes, with the exception of a few expats living and working in China who'd heard about the race and had braved the registration process. Equipped with only the best gear and raring to go, the first round of runners started into the hardest and longest circuit through incredibly varied terrain, through ancient villages, along ski lift lines, over mountain ridges and even along or on the Great Wall.
Are runners part of an emerging religion? - Some runners religiously partner their fitness program with nutrition. They fervently believe in quinoa and kale.
