running way should
Find a way to enjoy parts of every run. Most of your runs should be mostly enjoyable.
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.
feel-better feelings important
The most important force inside you for feeling better all the time is the will to get more fit.
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.
class benefits world
Even world class performers can benefit from walk breaks.
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.
purpose performances puke
We have a no puke rule. The purpose is performance, not puking.
hills imagine chests
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.
running important firsts
When using the run-walk method to finish a marathon, the most important walk break comes in the first mile. The second most important one comes in the second mile, and so on. The point is, walk before you become fatigued.
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.
