RBC articles

These articles are now several years old and thus can no longer be considered up-to-date summaries of the exercise science research literature. They are posted here anyway for three reasons: (1) ego gratification, (2) some of the points are still valid, and (3) they demonstrate the general "research-based coaching" approach that I advocate. The articles are reprinted courtesy of Runner's World and Northwest Runner.
