With 6 marathons under my feet, I share my 6 best marathon training tips, I discuss the vast sustainability and inclusivity measures that make Charlotte's Around the Crown 10K such a special race beyond just race day, and I unveil a totally awesome running video game that will have you rethink going outside for a run when you can stay comfy on the sofa inside your parents' dark, windowless basement, instead.

• Around the Crown 10K: How do you choose races to run? If you’re like me, you don’t consider a race’s impact on a community, its residents, or the planet. Guided by three pillars—inclusivity, sustainability, and elevating the city of Charlotte—Brian Mister, co-founder and race director of the ATC10K, provides a shining example of the transformative impact a race can have beyond race day.

• 6 Best Marathon Training Tips: Registering for a marathon can be intimidating. Forget running 26.2 miles, training for a marathon is a whole other marathon in and of itself! How can you adequately prepare to toe the starting line with confidence? I prepared a checklist of the greatest marathon training tips. Follow these and you’ll be golden come race day.

• Running Video Game: It sure seems like there's a video game for everything these days: Murdering innocent civilians in Grand Theft Auto, shooting and blowing up enemy soldiers in Call of Duty, and fighting Scorpion, Sub-Zero, and Raiden to the death in Mortal Kombat (FINISH HIM!), to name a few. But what about a video game for running?
