Mom. Runner. Coach. Writer.
As you know, yesterday I was gushing about how I’ve left my heel striking days behind me. I get quite a few inquiries about why and how I went about this, so I thought I’d share. (Pull up a chair). Some background–I’ve been running for about 15 years, beginning as a triathlete. Like everyone else who started running around that time, I went to the [...]
