summer running in Nashville

is brutal, so when i do run, i

make sure it’s in the mornings.

Jason is a Nashville-based

commercial photographer by

way of Florida. He photographed

musician and runner Liz Anjos

for this month’s cover and profile

(page 38).

i’d like to say a healthy green

smoothie. But it’s Popsicles.

Kevin is our managing editor.

For this issue, he wrote about

workout cults (page 14) and

running with music (page 30)

and profiled ultrarunner Kilian

Jornet (page 56).

taking a cool shower and then

sitting in front of a fan for a

solid 10 minutes.

Emily is our web editor. A big fan

of RAC, she profiled Liz Anjos

this month (page 38). (Emily’s

recent broken wrist inspired our

training feature on page 43. Glad

you’re feeling better, Emily!)

how do you keep your cool as a summer runner?
