JB Benna, producer of the film Unbreakable, is also a heck of a runner.  He proved this in October 2013 by breaking the 175 mile unsupported Tahoe Rim Trail FKT at 58h 43m 12s!  JB attempted the run in honor of Michael Popov, the previous record holder, who passed away tragically in 2012.  JB explains Why and his training, race, fuel, and hydration strategies, lessons learned and how he became friends with his individual body parts.

Candice Burt, elite trail runner and active blogger, recently created a glossary of terms that trail runners use.  For example:

  • Paleo
  • Bonk
  • FKT
  • Minimalist

Finally, there is a simple dictionary for you to share with your non-trail running friends and family so they can join in the conversation and understand what you are trying to communicate.

Keith Hatfield Keith is a certified physician assistant of 15 years  who had a 10 year career as a certified athletic trainer prior to that, including two years working in professional baseball with the Kansas City Royals organization.  He discusses the following common lower leg ailments that runners might experience:

  • Runner's Knee
  • IT Band (stretch video)
  • Meniscus Pain
  • Planter Faciiatis

As an athlete, Keith suffered from planter faciiatis and tried most of the products that help stretch the foot.  Out of necessity, he invented the Hatfield Strap. If you suffer from planter faciiatis, you might want to give his sit strap a try.
