How to Become a Six Star Finisher: Running The World Marathon Majors

Ticking all six marathon majors off my bucket list has been a goal of mine for nearly five years, and not only running them all, but completing them before I'm 30. For those not quite as marathon obsessed as I am, the Big Six are; Berlin, Boston, Chicago, London, New...

Are the Nike+ Apple Watches actually good for runners? 

Asics Kingfisher Top from Zalando  When the apple watch first came out, I saw it adorning many wrists, especially within the tech and fashion worlds. I'm in neither, so thought nothing of it. Until Nike partnered with Apple to bring out the Apple Watch Nike+. Running...
