Wagner: Adventure race an enduring experience
We stood beneath a gray sky as the wind hurled gusts of 25 mph at us.
Months of planning and anticipation had led to this moment, and we still didn’t really know what was in store for us.

Options open with new workout components
So I finally pulled the trigger. To satisfy my intrigue with cycling, and determined to add a new component to my endurance training, last week I visited a local bike shop.

Wagner: Changing workouts brings new challenges
The other day I was driving on a lonely stretch of road between Fargo and Bemidji.
The ribbon of asphalt, stretched to the horizon, was marked by long, gradual inclines, the type of hills that force you as a runner to slow the pace as your hamstrings start to burn from the work.
One day, I found myself saying, I will run this stretch of road just to say I did it.

Inspiration aids in accomplishing goals
Three simple words have carried me through some rough spots.
Simple, but succinct, the words were spoken by Chief Dan George, an actor in “The Outlaw Josie Wales,” to Clint Eastwood during a poignant moment in the movie: “Endeavor to persevere.”
Often, I’m struck by what comes to mind while running. Those words have popped into my conscience more than once.

Ambition for running outdoors building
A few days ago, after an eight-mile tempo run indoors, I couldn’t help but feel great during the drive home, where I would get ready for the workday.

Running: Find what works for you
After a session at the indoor track last week, another runner approached me.
“You must be a marathoner,” she said. “I’ve got a question for you.”
My workout that day wasn’t specific to the marathon: 10 repetitions of 20-second surges, with a one-minute recover jog between each, all sandwiched between some warm-up and cool-down miles.

Wagner: Passion of running hard to give up on
Bemidji, Minn.
The hard blue glow.
The concept behind it, as a kid growing up playing baseball, wasn’t foreign to me. In fact, it’s pretty simple to understand, even without a lot of context.

Wagner: Not all training runs are created equal
Taking my time, I begin gathering all my gear.
After putting on thick running pants, a thermal top and compression socks, I begin gathering the rest of my gear.

Wagner: 'Stick-to-itiveness' can pay off for runners
In the movie “A River Runs Through It,” Mrs. Burns tells her son Neal, the vain name-dropping Hollywood wannabe, that he could learn a lot from the film’s main character, Norman Maclean.
