With with these points in mind go forth, enjoy Mother Nature, and celebrate your return to what you're supposed to do, live as an athlete.
sports new-york giants
The starting line of the New York Marathon is kind of like a giant time bomb behind you about to go off. It is the most spectacular start in sport.
running hills terrific
Hills are terrific for running
age
Age 50 is a lot tougher than 40s
running jobs commitment
The most difficult part, when you decide to make running a part of your life style, is the basic initial commitment. Everybody says, 'I don't have the time.' It's up to you to say, 'I do have the time.' For me, beginning to run when I was a student was an ideal situation. However, I've also trained as much as 130 miles per week during periods when I worked a full-time job. It ultimately becomes second nature. It becomes a habit, a routine part of your daily life
race feelings bombs
Every time I bomb out, I have to come back. I have a feeling after a bad race that my next one will be good.
distance athlete drug
My guess is many top athletes, distance runners included, use performance-enhancing drugs, enough so that the problem must be tackled.
running fun thinking
Runners...you're competitive, but you want to have fun, too. You want to enjoy life. And runners really get to do that, I think-after we recover.
race training body
I also feel it usually takes four or five races to hit your best marathon for your body to be accustomed to the training AND the race itself.
running
You cannot always run at your best.
running believe mean
I believe in keeping running simple and, in regard to shoes, that would mean no gimmicks, unnecessary cushioning, etc
running imagine hours
I can't even imagine what it's like to run for 5 or 6 hours.
running tasks marathon
Aiming for the marathon is a task of sorts which can include terrific highs and lows.
sports running simple
Running is a very natural activity. If you get too caught up, you find yourself constantly seeking to make running something that it isn't. You should let it be what it is - a very simple activity. Running has become too complicated for many people and they wind up turning sour on the sport, or losing the focus of their direction.
