Well I mean, you knew it was coming, right? For those new to the entire Hokified-lifestyle experience simulacrum, a bit of catch-up: every time we participate in a Run Disney race event, we design a custom race shirt for the event. Well, not every time; we didn’t create shirts for the 2012 Twilight Zone Tower Of…
Happy Friday, Hokeyfolk. Let’s get the grumpy stuff out-of-the-way: as much as I tried, as much as I prayed, as much as I was absolutely convinced that it was gonna be a done deal, I didn’t make it into the Big Sur Marathon lottery. Phooey! and Fiddlesticks!! And… you know, it’s not that big a deal.…
Ask any runner how much they enjoy training over the summer, and they’re likely to beat you to death with a pair of overpriced running shoes. But don’t let a catastrophic irrational fear of fatality via Hoka One-One frighten you off of the subject. We can talk summer heat training without being strangled by an enraged…
Well this feels so gosh darn… adult. And I mean that in a “grown up, mature” way, and definitely NOT in a “trying to unscramble a late-night cable signal in 1983 using a bunch of analog knobs as to get a hint of naughty bits” sort of way. Gauche, really. Moving on… Over the past…
The 2015 Mayor’s Midnight Sun Marathon, which took place on Saturday, June 20, 2015, was probably the most unusual and exhilarating “traditional” race in which I’ve ever participated. After six marathons, 25 half marathons, and countless other running/fitness events, that’s really saying something. Plus it makes for a real “gotcha” of an opening sentence, and…
Howdy Hokeyfolk! Our eighth presentation of Jeff Galloway’s Training & Motivation Tips involves the walk portion of Jeff’s “run/walk/run” strategy. Jeff is putting forth that a 30-second walk interval — as opposed to a minute — is optimal for endurance, speed, recovery, and remaining injury free. It’s an interesting option to consider if you are…
And we’re back with yet another edition of Jeff Galloway’s Training and Motivation Tips, in which we here at HokeyCo Enterprises have partnered up with the legendary Jeff Galloway to provide YOU — our erstwhile readership — with a plethora of helpful advice to up your running and fitness game. And why not? Even the…
I’m sure six is a powerful number in some sorcerous capacity, as I’m sure “sorcerous” is a real word, somewhere. That has heck-all to do with our latest presentation of Jeff Galloway’s Training and Motivation Tips, but I needed a random, fantasy-escapism-themed opening sentence, and there you have it. Speaking of which, have you ever…
This hasn’t been easy. God knows, I’ve tried. A lot. About a dozen times now, I’ve attempted to come up with an introduction to my review of the 2015 Wings For Life World Run, and they’ve all come up painfully short. For a race as special and as unique as this one, you really want…
I’m just gonna shut my trap and let the picture do the talking: Holy freakin’ underpants! This changes everything. A little numb right now. So here’s the video:
