40% Chance of Thunderstorms Saturday

Run before the storm!

We hope we can beat the storm on Saturday. Please check here 1 hour prior to the run to be sure the run has not been cancelled by mother nature. Normally cancelled runs are rescheduled for the following Sunday, but due to the labor day holiday, this will not be the case.

This message is intended for PB runners who are interested in visiting the site Saturday morning to check the weather and the status of the run. Subscribers will receive this message a day late. For more timely updates, you can subscribe via a feedreader.

Running Research Continues

Coach Amy testing a subject for the research study.

Running Research

This fall Coach Amy is working with physical therapy students at the University if Kansas Medical Center to collect normative data on recreational runners using the FMS - a screening tool used by physical therapists to assess mobility and stability.

Thanks to all those who have volunteered as subjects! We are extending the study so we can test more subjects and improve the validity of our results. If you or any of your running friends qualify, please e-mail us at kcrunning@hotmail.com.

Date: Sunday, Sept. 11th
Location: Metro Walk and Run
Qualifications: Total weekly mileage of 20 miles or more, between the ages of 18-65 years and injury free for at least 6 weeks prior to the study date.
