    Our first 5k race

    My 8 years old son Marcus and I have been running to school since the beginning of 2014. After awhile I thought it will be fun if we both train and run a 5k race together. Marcus has good natural running form but like most kids need to work on his stamina. We have been averaging a mile to...

    Hello from Los Angeles, CA

    Thanks for the tips Phil. I normally walk/stay barefoot 90% of the day. On the run days should I still walk around barefoot, or let them rest (put on slippers) since I have worked them already?
