Mike Smith Featured In Running Times Article On Trail Running
Run SMART coach Mike Smith talks about transitioning to trail running and offers some great advice.
Smith, who coaches for the Jack Daniels-inspired Run S.M.A.R.T. Project, stresses the importance of practicing these pace changes.
“If I were training a road runner for a road race, I’d want them to become very comfortable at race pace. We’d practice until they could take a nap at race pace. But on the trails, this rhythm running won’t work. A trail runner must be very good at changing gears. They have to be used to running at a maximal effort but changing their pace significantly during the race.”

Attendees range from absolute beginners to marathoners, all of whom choose their own pace and distance. Afternoons feature guest speakers (like famed running coach Jack Daniels and Olympian Magdalena Lewy Boulet) and clinics on issues like gait analysis. And they take the retreat aspect seriously.

I Run Under The Influence Of Jack Daniels
By Brian Rosetti
I’m currently following a 5k Training Plan, courtesy of Coach Jack Daniels, the legend himself. That’s right! I’m not only the president, I’m a client too. Now, anyone can run under the influence of Jack unlike ever before. Check out our brand new Training Plans for 5k, 10k, half marathon and marathon distances.
Jack literally writes your schedule and then we personalize it to match your running profile so every pace of every workout is exactly what it should be to reach your goals. Having this type of personalization is hard to find without hiring a private coach, not to mention the genius behind the schedule will never be matched. (more…)
Stepping Into Minimalist Shoes Responsibly
With the new trend towards minimalist footwear, it’s important runners have access to information not only about the benefits of minimalism but more importantly how to incorporate it safely into their running routine.
Saucony has taken this message to heart with their recent Step Into Minimalism events in Boston and NYC. Run SMART was fortunate enough to be apart of this worthy campaign by offering gait analysis and coaching tips on how to safely transition into minimalist shoes.
