Sage Canaday doesn't really need an introduction.  His running endeavors and accomplishments span across the country and even the world.  From top finishes in many of running's hardest races (like his recent Speedgoat 50K win), to his work in the field as an author and filmmaker at V02max Productions, Canaday is well known in the industry.

The Hardrock 100 Endurance Run is known as one of the toughest ultras in the world.  Taking place in the heart of the San Juans, the 100-mile run boasts a head-shaking 33,992 feet of climbing and 33,992 feet of descent for a total elevation change of 67,984 feet, with an average elevation of 11,186 feet.  The lowest point of the course is 7,680 feet in Ouray, and the highest point is a whopping 14,048 feet at Handies Peak.  Needless to say, the race consistently attracts some of the world's best ultrarunners year after year, and  2014 was no different.

There's just something about a runner that's been pounding the pavement for longer than some athletes have been alive that makes people turn heads - especially one that can keep up with the running's upper ranks.  Dan Spale is just that runner.  The 57-year old Runners Roost athlete has been running for 32 years, just two years shy of how long he's been married. The humble father of three graces the top age-group podiums on the regular, and also holds the Colorado age group record in the half marathon.

From Texas to California to even Norway, runners from all over converged on Estes Park this past weekend for the Estes Park Marathon, Half Marathon, 10K and 5K.

Colorado's Bailey Roth brought the crowd to its feet here at New Balance Nationals Outdoor 2014, establishing a new national high school record for the 2000m steeplechase. Roth's 5:41.67 showing was just one highlight stemming from the distance events on the second day of competition at America's high school track and field championships.

Each and every runner has their own quirks and preferences, and Kara Lubieniecki is no different. The Colorado native that races for the Saucony Hurricanes and Hudson Training Systems Elite teams knows that her success is based off the joy she receives by training with others: "I draw my inspiration from the people I run with. They keep me accountable for my own training, and I am inspired by them when I see them succeed."

Participants, spectators and locals alike couldn't have asked for a better weekend for the Steamboat Marathon. Beginning Friday afternoon, the town of Steamboat began to buzz as visitors arrived and the town woke up from its winter slumber. Thousands of people converged on the town, with almost 1,500 taking part in the Steamboat Marathon races. The event hosted a full marathon, half marathon and 10K. Both the marathon and half marathon were a point-to-point, net-downhill course along the Elk River, and the 10K wound around the town, finishing at the city Courthouse.

Leo Manzano, the 2012 Olympic silver medalist is a fearsome kicker. Put Leo within the fight at the end of a mile or 1,500 meters, and you have a battle royale. We asked Leo to give RunBlogRun some tips for our high school readers on how to be better milers.  On April 19, Leo took third in the Boston Mile, and, then on Tuesday, April 22, he won the road mile at the Drake Relays.

There are two things you may be surprised to learn about Amanda Scott.  First, she didn't start her athletic career as a runner.  The Virginia Beach native and now Boulder resident grew up running around the soccer field.  Her love for running didn't come until her sophomore year of high school when she tried out for the cross country team.
