About this blog and blogger

        Visit this blog to explore the going ons of the high school running community in Iowa and find information on how to stay injury free, improve your race times, and discover what it is like to be a runner. Whether you are a competitive high school runner or just someone that enjoys running in their free time around their neighborhood, this blog is for you! My name is Ali and I run cross country and distance track for my high school in Iowa. Though I have always considered my self to be a good runner, I am certainly not great by any means. I am a junior and have been on varsity for both track and cross country since i was a freshman, so I certainly know the ins and outs of these sports, and how much dedication and mental strength running takes! I am not extremely experienced, but will strive to give the limited pieces of wisdom and advice that i have, and will share a few of my opinions on certain topics, as well as information on new research and experiments going on in the running community.
