Running Matters #190

Running Matters #190: I don't think I would have been such a good runner it I hadn't enjoyed it.

Running Matters #189

Running Matters #189: You know you're a runner if sometimes a run is needed with no rules, no distance planned, just your heart and the road.

Running Matters #188

Running Matters #188: You get a lot of tennis players in this ambulance? I asked the paramedics as they began to put away their gear. They chuckled and shook their heads.

Running Matters #187

Running Matters #187: That's not the sound of your stomach protesting as you resist a strong craving. That's not the sound of gravel crunching under your running shoes. That's not the sound of your heavy breathing as you jog that extra minute. That, my friend, is the sound of will power. That's the sound of success.

Running Matters #186

Running Matters #186: Trouble breathing while running? Try singing the alphabet. As you sing, inhale as the song goes up in tune, and exhale as it goes down.

Running Matters #185

Running Matters #185: Pace is essential, in running and in life. We have to know when to pick it up and when to conserve. It is the most strategic component of running a good race, and as such it requires the greatest amount of maturity. It is a worthwhile study and one that never ends, because our abilities and our goals are always in a state of flux. But if you know your ideal pace, you know yourself.

Running Matters #184

Running Matters #184: Running tip: Always out of breath? You're probably running too tense. Try to get your shoulders and chest loose. Run tall and relaxed not tight and tense. Avoid your shoulders being stiff and get your chest open. The more you expand your lungs the more efficient your use of the oxygen in each breath.

Running Matters #183

Running Matters #183: Stop thinking. Run until your mind can't keep up anymore.

Running Matters #182

Running Matters #182: Free yourself.

Running Matters #181

Running Matters #181: This month's miles are next month's muscles.
