Better late than never.

Hi everyone!
I'm so sorry it's taken me this long to get back to my blog. Work has been crazy....which of course means I'm eating things I shouldn't and not working out like I should.
March will be different. I've found a few different exercises I want to test out and I'm registered for a 10k in May so I'll be hopping on the treadmill soon. In the meantime here is another instalment of running tips from Jeff Galloway!

The training journey for a marathon or half marathon raises your body's physical performance capability and your sense of what you can do in life.

Running helps to bring body, mind and spirit together in a unique and wonderful way

In researching my book MENTAL TRAINING I discovered that running turns on brain circuits for a better attitude more vitality and empowerment better than other activities studied.

In researching my book RUNNING UNTIL YOU'RE 100 I found numerous studies showing that runners have healthier orthopedic units than non runners even after decades of running.

Training:

When a runner takes walk breaks early and often enough for the individual the muscles are strong to the end.  See RUN WALK RUN atwww.jeffgalloway.com for recommendations by pace per mile.

The "exhaustion wall" can be avoided by running longer long runs up to or beyond race distance-using the appropriate run-walk-run strategy.

Marathoners tend to improve time by an average of more than 15 minutes when they increase their longest run from 20 miles to 26 miles.

To recover fast, run the long runs at least 2 min/mi slower than you could currently run in a marathon

The right run-walk-run strategy from the beginning of each run, gives any runner control over fatigue, injury-elimination, and recovery.

In numerous surveys, runners improved over 13 minutes when they shifted from running continuously to use of the right run-walk-run strategy.

Lost post from Jeff Galloway #1

So my email ate 2 updates from Mr. Galloway and I just found them. I guess this is what happens when you never check your spam folder. I changed my settings and from now on I shouldn't lose anymore of his emails. I personally love the tips in this update because I am trying to get faster than my current 14:37. The fastest mile I have ever done was 9:27 but it was downhill so that helped ;-) Anyway, on to the update! FIVE WAYS TO GET FASTER by Olympian Jeff Galloway Longer Long Runs Increasing the length of the longest long run has produced the greatest amount of improvement that I've seen among my coaching clients.  Several surveys have shown more than 13 minutes of time improvement when runners increase their longest long run from 20 miles to 26 miles before a marathon.  Comparable time improvements are experienced in 10K runners and half marathoners when they increase their long runs above race distance as noted in my YEAR ROUND PLAN book that covers all the dista...
