Run The Land
Run The Land a running club in Cleveland has the unofficial motto of Run Local. Drink Local. It derives from two greatest loves of many of the members have: craft beer and running.

We do not play favorites though as we have a rotating schedule and will visit twelve unique breweries over the course of the year.

Five Reasons Why Runners Want to Eat Carbohydrates
As the New Year starts, I hear way too many runners vowing to "knock off carbs" for their nutrition resolution. Most intend to eat less sugar (OK). Some plan to cut out bread, pasta, potato and starchy foods (not OK), and others plan to also limit fruits and veggies (bad idea). The reality is, carbs should be the foundation of your sports diet.
Keeping Track
Long before the season begins, coaches set goals for their teams and athletes. Two important parts of the individual collaboration are: 1) Are the goals realistic? 2) Is the athlete willing to do what is necessary to attain them?

The Youngstown Road Runners Club was founded in the spring of 1975 and held weekly races at a cost of 50 cents per runner. The club soon joined up with Road Runners Clubs of America. Membership was $5 per individual and approximately 1100 joined.
Now We’re Stressed Out!
Running is supposed to be an enjoyable activity. That’s why you’ve been running for so many years. Then why doesn’t running seem to be as fun now as it used to be? Some days it’s almost as if running is just another stressor to be dealt with.
The Runner's Kitchen: Waste Not, Want Not
In 32 years (2050), we will be dealing with major food issues. By then, the global population will have grown from today’s 7.6 billion people to 10 billion people (not due to lots of new babies, due mainly to longer life spans related to better health care and nutrition). We will need 60% more food than is available today. To do so, farmers will need to increase crop yield, use water more effectively, and feed animals more efficiently. The agricultural industry is working hard on that—and climate change complicates it all.
