For me, nutrition and fueling has always been a weakness in racing and training. I tended to never take any fluid or nutrition intake during my long runs, and forget about anything short distance. For my last marathon, I knew I had to introduce fuel during my training (otherwise there would be no way of completing the marathon in the time frame I wanted) and it really made me realize what I was lacking. But…
Run Oregon loves running – that’s no surprise. In our Run Oregon Road Trip series, we aim to showcase some great locations to make your running basecamp on your next vacation of staycation. We recently spent a few days on the coast at the Adrift Hotel in Long Beach, WA. The Adrift Hotel & Spa is one of six lodging locations that are part of the Adrift Hospitality portfolio. These locations stretch along the NW…
Non-alcoholic beer has come a long way. There never used to be a lot of options and they didn’t taste close to any kind of beer I’d want to drink. But in the last few years, there has been a tremendous improvement in NA beer, so much so that I often can’t really tell the difference. And even better, there’s no lasting effect later. I recently had a chance to try a non-alcoholic beer from…

Now that I am home more often (instead of running during lunch hours or lifting at the gym), I have had more time to figure out my fueling and nutrition goals POST-workout. When given the opportunity to try Tailwind’s Recovery Drinks, I jumped at the chance. This is exactly what I need. Taste Tailwind‘s Recovery Line includes Vanilla, Chocolate, Salted Caramel, and Coffee flavors. We checked out the first two and have really liked it. As…
