Best Training Secret

Runner's World came out with "The Best of Running" in this month's issue. Making the honor roll for Best Training Secret was "Run slow when you're supposed to run slow."

What makes this the best secret is that it's so hard to actually do. Running my first 17 this morning at an intentional slow pace of 8:40 was brutal. How does running slow make me faster?

Catching on

Slowly, people are understanding that running is GOOD for your body. And that with proper and efficient form, you can run injury free.

Even the NY Times is catching on.

So, stop wearing orthotics, high stability shoes, running with your foot turned out at a 45 degree angle and focus on your form, ChiRunning Style.

Speed bursts are good for the heart

There is something so rewarding about pulling a 5:43 pace quarter-mile sprint after a 5 mile recovery run, the day after an 18-miler.

Why I love to run

I love running because of FOOD - being able to eat delicious food in massive quantities!
