Running News : Training Tips : Training Plans : Shoes+Gear : YouTube : Podcast

Hi runners,

Jessy here with newsletter #291!

It's Wednesday, and I'm already thinking about the weekend so I can sit down in front of the TV (after a run, of course) and watch some running.

Hopefully this newsletter helps get you a bit closer to the weekend too!

Here's what I have for you today:

After spending the weekend watching 'Sprint,' I just had to watch another running movie; here are our suggestions.
Speaking of watching running, last week Paris may have hosted the most exciting women's 1500m race of the year, and you're gonna want to see it.
Finally, VO2 max. We hear every runner talking about it and measuring up to each other. But what is VO2 max, and what is a good one?

Get ready to get faster!
