breaks designed hit marathon miles pushes run taking walk wall
As humans, we're designed to run about 20-22 miles and then you hit the wall. Taking walk breaks pushes that wall back so the marathon can be a pleasurable experience,
best breathing checking compensate effort monitor perceived ran rather running watch
Going uphill, you do have to compensate by running slower. Rather than checking your watch (on a hill), go for the same perceived effort as you ran on the flats. I find the best way to do this is to monitor your breathing. If you are breathing more heavily going up the hill, shorten your stride.
running race half
There's an old adage that for every second too fast per mile in the first half of the race, you'll run at least 2 seconds slower at the end.
running giving-up careers
Most people have this perception that you have to be out there running for an hour and a half every day. But you don't have to give up your career and family to run a marathon.
running lines finish-line
Here is the start, there is the finish line. Between that, you have to run.
running way should
Find a way to enjoy parts of every run. Most of your runs should be mostly enjoyable.
running thinking feet
Think chest/hips/ push, or CHP, when it's time for uphill running. Chest up, hips forward, push strongly off each foot.
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.
running two long

running
When I finish a run, every part of me is smiling.
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.
running athlete mind
Being an athlete is a state of mind which is not bound by age, performance or place in the running pack.

We are designed to run and we increase our chance of daily happiness when we do so.
