Some of our forums, like me, have gone back a long way with Owen.  Owen recently sent me a note, and we reminisced about our first encounters and the launching of his successful series of seminars. 
"The one we did in Lisle was really great," he noted,  "and you are right - it was the first."  

Now Owen has launched an all new website: http://www.educatedrunner.com

Athletes and coaches should check out all the new insights and articles that will continue to appear on this site in the weeks ahead.  Although I've long been familiar his rather revolutionary 'neural' approach to training, I couldn't resist purchasing his 5k program through the website. 

Owen has also said some very nice things about Barry's contributions. "I found some time this morning to look at bearpowered and found it to be great.  Especially enjoyed the blog articles and forum.  In fact, one of your blog articles on the importance of core strength was one of the best, clearest accounts I have ever read on this topic.  Well done - this site is a great contribution to the world of running!"

Owen continues to do some excellent clinics.  In fact, he has a  running-specific-strength seminar coming up in Atlanta this next weekend (Oct 24-25).  Anyone who signs up for this seminar will get a free month of coaching with Owen.  For those who live in the Atlanta area and would prefer it, they will also receive a month of free training with Karen Ward, whom Owen considers to be the best in the world for running-specific strength training right now. Owen also has another conference set for Detroit November 21-22.
