the Evolution of Running

Frankie Ruiz, Chief Running Officer at Life Time and The Miami Marathon, says running is not what it was five years ago. "The races have changed, the way you train for them, the equipment you use has certainly changed and evolved. It is still a very simple sport, but it has gotten more scientific with the training." He also points out the type of runner has changed, from a mom with a stroller to the 85-year-old finishing the race. "You have all kinds of people doing races where 20 or 30 years ago, that wasn't the case."
