Ultrarunner Hillary Allen was at the pinnacle of her sport when a freak fall last year nearly ended her life. Today, she proudly bears the scars that remind her of the resilience of the human body and spirit, and writer Julia Beeson Polloreno gives us a glimpse into the mind of this inspiring runner.
The best way to approach running depends on what you want to get out of it. Writer Matt Fitzgerald breaks down these guidelines to help you navigate the benefits, risks and best training methods so you can reach your own running goals.
