Have you ever wondered why your standard “jogging” pace is what it is?
Written by: Matt Fitzgerald
Every runner has a natural running pace. It’s the pace you fall into automatically when you go for your typical moderate, steady run of a certain predetermined distance or duration—five miles, 45 minutes or whatever (a format that probably accounts for 90 percent of all runs performed daily by the worldwide population of runners). For each runner this pace changes over time as fitness is gained or lost, and it even changes from day to day based on how one feels—a factor that is influenced by fatigue from preceding training, above all.

Seattle is bursting with great places to run! After all, it’s nicknamed “The Evergreen State” for a reason and has over 400 parks totaling 6,200 acres.

Written by: Reyana Ewing, MPH, RD, CLE
As runners we want to do everything possible to perform well and have a great season. We are meticulous about our training schedules, hydration, sleeping habits, etc. Yet many times we fall short when it comes to nutrition.
My Story
