Ken Norton’s first novel, When Legends Run Free, is a must-read for anyone who has participated in, coached, or has been associated in some way, with the sport of cross-country. The author, who was a Division II All-American at Southwest Missouri and was coached by the legendary Chuck Hunsaker, captures the true essence of the sport and the dedicated athletes who participate in it.

When it comes to eating eggs, nutrition advice has changed. In 1968, the American Heart Association (AHA) recommended Americans consume no more than three whole eggper week. T

“I want to lose weight so other runners don’t drop me on the hills.” 

“I plan to shed a few pounds before the marathon to be faster.”

“Losing weight would really improve my Power to Weight ratio…”

Runners create many reasons for limiting their intake of seemingly “evil” carbohydrates: I don’t like sandwiches … Pasta is so “heavy” … I’m staying away from gluten … I avoid any foods with added sugar … I prefer to eat two veggies at dinner instead of a veggie and a carby food.

Congratulations to all of the athletes who competed in the Ohio High School Athletic Association State Cross Country Championships as well as the various National Championships.
