Running Drills

Came across this well described series of running drills to work on to improve running efficiency (i.e. speed).   Thought I share it with everyone. 



Fall weather is right around the corner. Are you ready?

Foot Hurt?

Have you ramped up your miles to fast with  the coming of good weather?  It is such an easy thing to do with it being so cool in the morning to feel like you can go 3, 5, 6 miles further.  But that can lead to Plantar Fasciitis and painful running.  Take a minute to read the article and follow the preventive measures to ensure you get the most out of the Fall running season.

Redstone Arsenal Running Trails

Many of you have asked in the past about places to run on the arsenal. The main paved running trail is accessible from the NASA gym by heading east on Digney Rd. over to the Army side of the arsenal. There are some excellent, but difficult, dirt/gravel trails on Weeden and Madkin Mtns. For those who want to do speed work, the army has a track at the corner of Patton and Gray which was refurbished in the summer 2010.
