RW Quote of the Day

"A comedian once claimed that all running does is allow you to die in good health. Okay, I'll buy that." - Hal Higdon, author and runner

Running

"Long Run" - 150% of normal weekly day run.

Beginners: Concentrate on time ran, not distance.

Shoes: 200-400 miles a pair. Then GET NEW ONES! Don't use them to walk around town. Running only.

Once exceeding 60 minutes of running, body needs fuel during the run.

Rest - it's good. My best runs are after a few days off. The more I read on it (because I was against rest!), the more I learn how the body uses that time to heal and restore muscle.

Core work is important. Your torso has to hold itself up while your lower body is pumping away. The stronger it is, the more "self sufficient" it is at carrying it's own weight.
