New Podcast: Running Book Review with Alan & Liz.

Epic Runs of the World is a compilation of running destinations, each described by a different author. The publisher, Lonely Planet, has a travel information website and has published many other travel books which are also featured on their website. We are not travelling at the moment but the website, and this book, can be a great resource for planning your future adventures.

You may even realize that one of the epic runs are in your own backyard; we found out that Montreal's Mont-Royal is featured in the book! Since this book has no single author, we took a slightly different approach. We contacted a few of our running buddies who have done some of the runs in the book, and asked them to tell us about their experiences.

An article explaining why the super long runs are not necessary for marathon success, especially for those running longer than 3:45. Instead, focus on improving your aerobic threshold (fastest pace you can run aerobically and burn fat efficiently) and use the theory of accumulated fatigue to get your legs prepared for the full marathon.
