Visitation to Colorado’s open space parks and lands has skyrocketed. As more people visit each year, cities and other organizations are having a tough time dealing with the spike.]]> https://www.coloradorunnermag.com/2017/08/01/issue-77-fall-2017/ Tue, 01 Aug 2017 15:34:52 +0000 https://www.coloradorunnermag.com/?p=48979 As runners, we are always seeking out new ways to run faster and longer and avoid the inevitably slide in performance as we age.

And while some runners tout the benefits of going unplugged, I think that most of us agree that some things are better with technology. Modern workout gear makes going for a long run more enjoyable than the cotton t-shirts of days gone by and various gadgets help us track our training in ways that previous generations couldn’t even imagine. But the technology changes so fast, it’s hard to keep up. So here’s a look at some of the top trends in running technology.]]> https://www.coloradorunnermag.com/2017/03/01/issue-75-spring-2017/ Wed, 01 Mar 2017 16:26:00 +0000 http://www.coloradorunnermag.com/?p=46829 Welcome to the event Guide for 2017!

And I think that’s awesome. During the first running boom, you had to be a super fast, super fit dude like Colorado’s own Frank Shorter. And while Frank is amazing and I wish I were like him, most of us will never be that fit or that fast. But these days, it doesn’t matter because everyone can run. A lot has changed over the years at Colorado Runner. Here are a few of those trends.]]> https://www.coloradorunnermag.com/2016/08/01/issue-73-fall-2016/ Mon, 01 Aug 2016 17:30:14 +0000 http://www.coloradorunnermag.com/?p=38716 Here are some top running tips to keep you going - for beginners, veterans and those in between.]]> https://www.coloradorunnermag.com/2016/05/01/issue-72-summer-2016/ Sun, 01 May 2016 13:28:40 +0000 http://www.coloradorunnermag.com/?p=38012 As runners, we love running. When at our best, running can be inspiring, relieve stress, keep us healthy and help us maintain an ideal weight.
