About Runblogger

Runblogger is edited and authored by Peter Larson. I'm a recovering academic who currently works as a writer, running coach, and exercise physiologist. I worked for 10 years as an anatomy professor at a small college in NH, but left that job in Spring 2013 to pursue my passion for all things running full-time. I have a bit of an obsession with running shoes and work regularly with shoe companies on product reviews and testing, footwear development, and market trend analysis. I also co-authored the book Tread Lightly. You can follow me on Twitter, Facebook, Google+, and via email. You can also follow my training on Dailymile.com.
