Tommy Neal turns adversity into opportunity

Anyone who was in attendance at the recent St. Patty's Day 5k, might have seen the skinny guy in a bright orange Boulder Running Company/Adidas singlet outclass the field to take first in just a hair over 15 minutes. Arguably one of the most competitive races featured in Colorado Springs, the race marked local elite runner Tommy Neal's first victory since receiving a Type 1 Diabetes diagnosis last winter, just weeks before his long-anticipated Olympic Marathon Trials race.…See More

"Most people that I know that have successfully transitioned to minimalist shoes started the process because of chronic running injuries. And they made that transition very slowly and very patiently (as I did). I started off with running…"

Barefoot is back...but should it be?

The end of winter is a celebration of sorts for a lot of outdoor enthusiasts, running perhaps topping this list. No more multiple layers, no more pitch-black early evening runs, no more boogers unknowingly frozen to the side of your face, no more gingerly picking (perhaps unsuccessfully) your way over icy patches on the trail. And for some, no more shoes. Yes, warmer weather dictates for some that it's time to bring back barefoot.Well, barefoot running coming out of hibernation is good and bad…See More

Quinn's Runner Pevoteaux Sets Sights on Leadville

For Jack Quinn’s runners, getting “shirted” following the completion of 10 runs is something akin to earning a Quinnian badge of honor. The shirts of varying colors signifying the number of Quinn’s runs completed are a fun little status symbol of sorts amongst Quinn’s runners, new and old, and something to encourage all runners to keep on coming back for more every week.While he’s already logged over 100 runs since Jack Quinn’s got started, Springs ultra-runner Marc Pevoteaux would have earned…See More
