03/16/2006 There is No Right Answer - Only Guiding Principles (Part 2 of 3) - Matt Taylor
From the March/April issue of Peak Running Performance


What started as another one of my crazy ideas turned into reality when I boarded a plane from Washington, DC to Portland, Oregon on August 31st.  This began an eleven-week journey (a.k.a. Chasing Tradition) to document the 2005 collegiate cross country season. The University of ... Free registration required
03/15/2006 There is No Right Answer - Only Guiding Principles (Part 1 of 3) - Matt Taylor
From the January/February 2006 issue of Peak Running Performance.

It was a typical hot and humid July afternoon in Washington, DC. Despite the heat advisories I went for a run through Rock Creek Park. Big mistake. Ten minutes into the run my heart was racing and I was sweating profusely. ... Free registration required

12/05/2005 ST Hindsight Poll - Teams 31-21 - Dwight Estey
Ah, “Georgia on My Mind”.  Do you remember that song? I do, and for the last three days it's been going through my head. I’m not happy about it! Of the 31 teams in the NCAA finals, Georgia finished last. I have to start with them and make the countdown to #1. ... Free registration required

11/19/2005 It's Saturday night - LIVE! - UPDATED
Ok, we're at Lone Star Steakhouse. It's Saturday night at 9:45 and we just finished the most chaotic 39 hours of the chasingTRADITION journey. Stamos says, "Damn, my fauxhawk is poppin' tonight." The Columbia coaches are sitting next to us (Willy Wood and Georgetown alum's Chris Miltenberg and Colleen Kelly). Now, I'm just ... Free registration required

11/18/2005 An XC Primer (Part I) - Dwight Estey
Fans at a cross-country meet have very little idea of what is going on. Worse, they’re afraid to ask, masking their ignorance with pithy comments like, “Go, go, go!” I thought the first ten weeks of chasingtradition might make for a more informed audience, but alas, up to this point they seem to be ...
