Runwarrior Scott
Hello, I'm Scott, welcome to Runwarrior! I started this blog to chronicle my journey along the many miles that running takes me. As an avid runner for three decades, I've learned a few things along the way; here I'll share some of those bumps and bruises, challenges and triumphs as I continue pushing my limits, having fun, and experiencing life as a runner.

Tip of the Week: Know When To Stop Walking
There are just some times when you need to walk during a run. We all do it, there’s nothing wrong with it. But all of us, especially novice runners, are at risk of walking ‘too far’, diminishing the effectiveness of … Continue reading
Running in the Morning
I know not everyone considers an 8am run ‘early’, but I run almost exclusively in the late afternoon or early evening. The rare exceptions to this are race days or the occasional meeting of a friend at the park for … Continue reading
