An Olympic Ideal 13 Aug 2012 | 10:41 pm
Welcome to our Olympics-preview issue. As I do every four years, I know I’ll get caught up in the excitement and athleticism of the Games. But now that I’ve met Julius Achon, I’ll keep it all in persp...
All Together Now 29 Jun 2012 | 03:15 am
I’m a big believer in the idea that magazines are more than ink and paper. The best ones can come to life, and no other magazine does that like RW does, largely because no other magazine has the reade...

Regardless of how fast we are or how many weekly miles we log or whether we’ve ever done a marathon, all runners have at least one thing in common: We were all beginners once. We know that the two har...
An Elite Education 12 Mar 2012 | 08:36 am
The ways in which elite runners are different from you and me are both manifold and remarkable. Their whippet-thin builds. Their 100-mile weeks. The grace and ease with which they run at paces we will...

Going Off-Road 29 Mar 2011 | 04:34 am
I’d been warned that once I ran a trail race, I’d never go back to the roads, just as some trout fishermen forsake their spring-fed creek once they’ve caught a bonefish on the flats, or skiers abandon...
Dog Blog II 19 Feb 2011 | 11:52 am
It was nice to get so much gracious feedback on the blog I posted last week about saying goodbye to my beloved black Lab ("A Very Good Dog"). Thanks to all of you who passed along good wishes and fond...
A Very Good Dog 12 Feb 2011 | 11:20 am
