3. Don’t Bandit
“My perspective on banditing has certainly changed since I was running in college. Running a race you haven’t paid for is just bad. You’re using the resources of the race and it costs so much to put on a race; it is disrespectful. People think race directors are pocketing all this money and it is just not true. It’s especially bad when there is money going to charities and schools. That is just bad”

Linzay Logan is the copy editor for Competitor magazine and cares about punctuation probably a little too much. She particularly loves to avoid commas as well as add exclamation points whenever she can get away with it! She also loves to run marathons and half-marathons—probably a little too much. Don’t let her small size fool you; she’ll still try to outrun you anytime. Even though chances are she probably can’t.
