For me there is always one week in the year that just sets me up for the racing season. It is the “ah ha” moment where you know that the base building you have done moves onto the next stage. This past week seems to have been the huge hurdle I have been trying to climb over for the past 6 months.
What do you do when you begin your long run and shortly before you hit 2 miles the urge to urinate consumes you.
The Boston marathon is the world’s oldest annually contested marathon. It was formed by the B.A.A. which is among the oldest athletic clubs and was established in 1887.
There are times when you have all the best intentions of doing something and then all of a sudden….POW…right down the drain. I have started-stopped-started this blog many times with all the right intentions, but for some strange reason I tend to neglect it. Why ? I don’t know.
Need to find the motivation to get back into serious training again. I look at my past achievements and need to find that inner inspiration to get out the door.
When you need a little motivation or inspiration to keep running for your big race bring it all into balance with some of these tips.
So you have been good this New Year and are following through with your resolutions. You’ve run a majority of the days and you feel good. Then while walking down the hallway you feel a slight twinge in you left leg. What the heck is that. Oh no, shin splints. Classic overuse injury. What do you do ?
When learning how to swim properly, it’s important to develop proper breathing rhythms that involve blowing bubbles when the face is down. Learn about the importance of balance and proper stroke mechanics in swimming with help from a professional endurance coach in this free video on swimming techniques.
“Make running a habit. Set aside a time solely for running. running is more fun if you don’t have to rush through it.” -Jim Fixx
So you are now starting out a new running program and you think to yourself that in order to be a runner you need to run and run a lot. Now, one misconception about running is that running every day is going to make you a better runner.

Ran 4 miles at a nice easy pace. Worried after my 21 miler yesterday but I was surprised how well I recovered. Pretty decent run in the heat

I ran a nice 7.1 run in a very comfortable 8:30 min per mile pace. Felt great and even sprinted up my hill to end with a bang.
