Loving My New Balance 1080s from RC Outfitters!

If you’re in Peoria and looking for quality running gear, you need to check out RC Outfitters (also known as Running Central). I picked up the new pastel blue New Balance 1080s there, and I’m seriously loving them. The updated model feels way better — lighter, more responsive, and super comfy for longer runs. These shoes are built to last around 500-600 miles, so they’re perfect for anyone training hard or hitting the pavement often.

What I really love about RC Outfitters is the vibe of the store. It’s got this amazing layout with great lighting that makes it feel super welcoming and homey. Whether you’re a runner or just passionate about sports, it’s the perfect spot to shop for gear, and you’ll always find something you didn’t know you needed! The staff makes your experience even better — they treat you like part of the team, and you can tell they genuinely care about helping you find the right fit.

Plus, they offer foot support analysis to help you choose the best shoes for your stride (I didn’t get it this time, but I highly recommend it if you're not sure about your foot mechanics). The Peoria location is a hub for the local running community, and I can’t recommend it enough. Oh, and they offer a student discount, which is always a win. If you’re looking for a new pair of shoes or just want to check out a great local spot, RC Outfitters is a must! 👟💙

Sonja Inzinger

Mautern (AUSTRIA) 3k, 5k and XC runner Runner Spotlight Sonja’s journey to running wasn’t planned—it just fell into place. She tried acrobatic gymnastics as a kid but quickly realized it wasn’t for her. Then, by chance, running entered her life. A friend’s father, a passionate hobby runner, invited her to join their runs to encourage his daughter to enjoy the sport. The daughter quit soon after, but Sonja found something she truly loved. Her big break came unexpectedly. There was a high school for elite athletes about 30 km from her hometown, but since she wasn’t part of a club or competing in major races, it seemed out of reach. Still, her dad encouraged her to attend their open day just to experience it. She had fun, enjoyed the test runs, and thought nothing more of it—until a week later, she got a life-changing call. Jennifer Wenth, an Olympian and coach at the school, had seen her potential. She had already spoken to the athletics association and wanted Sonja on board. Tha...

Race Day Fueling: What I Eat and Why It Works

What you eat on race day can really impact how you feel and perform. For middle-distance runners (like those racing 800m to 1500m), it’s all about finding the right balance — feeling light, energized, and ready to go. You don’t want to be running on empty, but you also don’t want to feel heavy or sluggish. Here’s a simple example of how I like to fuel on a race day with a 2:30 pm start: ⏰ Race Day Timeline: Fueling for a 2:30 pm Race 8:30 am – Breakfast (6 hours before) Oatmeal with banana, a spoon of peanut butter, chia seeds, and a splash of milk or kefir Coffee + 1 stick of Liquid I.V. in water Why: It gives long-lasting energy and helps me start the day hydrated. 10:30 am – Light Snack (4 hours before) Plain rice with a drizzle of olive oil + scrambled egg or a few slices of turkey A few orange slices or a small handful of blueberries Sip on water Why: Easy to digest and helps keep my energy steady. 12:30 pm – Pre-Race Fuel (2 hours before) Half a ba...

Running Through Tulum: Workout Adventure

Spring break in Tulum, Mexico, meant swapping my usual track for palm-lined roads and early morning workouts. Tuesday’s training schedule had two threshold sessions: a morning running workout and a bike workout in the afternoon. I thought about finding a track by the beach or a gym with a treadmill, but with a packed itinerary, I had to be efficient. I was ready to go at 6:30 AM, but it was still dark, so I waited for the sun to rise before stepping out of the hotel. A t 6:45 AM, I laced up and headed to the nearest flat road I could find. My warm-up was a two-mile jog through a busy morning scene—cars, bikes, motorcycles, and people already starting their day. Even a few friendly dogs were out playing. If my mom had been on this trip, she definitely would have found me a safer place to run, but oh well, this was part of the Tulum experience! The workout? 4 reps of 1 mile at 6:10min/mile pace, with a one-minute recovery. After warming up and doing drills, I chose Avenida Kukulkán—...
