If you're laboring up a steep hill, imagine that a towrope is attached to the center of your chest, pulling you steadily toward the top.
running champion feelings
To finish will leave you feeling like a champion and positively change your life.
running stress may
Everyone has stress. A good run may not erase it, but it can reduce the effect and allow runners to gain control.
journey challenges messages
The more you frame the marathon as a stressful experience, the more negative messages you'll receive. But it's just as easy to frame it as a positively challenging journey.

A lifestyle change begins with a vision and a single step.
running years careers
I spent the first twenty years of my running career trying to run as many miles as I could as fast as I could. Then I spent the next twenty years trying to figure out how to run the least amount of miles needed to finish a marathon. And I've come to the conclusion the second way is much more enjoyable.
distance achievement population
The label of 'marathoner' has, from the beginning, been awarded to those who went the distance under their own power, whether they ran, walked, crawled or tiptoed. When you cross that finish line, you've entered an elite group. About one-tenth of one percent of the population has done it. Don't let anyone take that great achievement away from you.
running athlete mind
Being an athlete is a state of mind which is not bound by age, performance or place in the running pack.
running chance increase
We are designed to run and we increase our chance of daily happiness when we do so.
exercise rewards way
Our bodies crave exercise, and reward us in so many ways when we do so.
debt key length longer oxygen quicker run runners shown stride studies takes work
If you run the same stride going up hill, you have to work harder. Studies have shown that as runners get faster, their stride length shortens. So quicker turnover is the key here. Paradoxically, a longer stride takes more energy, so you'll get into oxygen debt early.
