Fluidity in running movements

It is good to have fluidity in your running movements. However,
running styles must not be a source of worry. Some runners become anxious
about their running form or running style. While it is great to have an
ideal running style, not everyone needs that to become a winner or a race
finisher. You must remember that your success does not solely depend on
your running style. On the other hand, if you have chosen to change a bit
of your style to prevent injury, then, do it once at a time. Aside from
that, appreciate what you have. Don’t be too quick to apply drastic
changes in your style. You will learn to adjust to suit your goals and
ideals in running as you continue.

Happy running to those involved in Marathon training schedules at the moment

The animal within us

I believe a training partner or group will add about 5% to your performance. Why?, because the animal instinct of "outdoing each other" will come through in your training. A running partner helps you out a lot with your marathon training. He/she makes your sessions a little easy, fun, and at a slightly higher intensity. Big question is if your training partner get's injured what do you do?. The mishap does not mean giving up your training or the big event itself. Know how to deal with a missing running buddy, and how to cope up with your training by yourself. Give yourself a chance to continue without having to place your success on the absence or presence of someone, no matter how helpful he is.

To go Big or small with your next race...

3bays

Once you have completed your Marathon Training Program you have the option of large scale community event or a smaller regional event. Here we weigh up to pros and cons for both.

Big road races offer thrill, excitement, and fun. On the other hand, the smaller races or the low key regional races offer same elements at a more affordable price, better gift prizes, and full "community" atmosphere. It gives you less competition but real and strong competition, nonetheless. It gives you the motivation and inspiration that every runner needs. Know exactly why joining low key regional races are a source of fun, encouragement, motivation, and joy as a runner and why it is worth as joining the big road races.

Yesterday we talked about a 4 year old completing a marathon Recently, I saw the news of a 100-year-old man, Fauja Singh, who finished the Toronto Marathon in 8 hours, 11 minutes. What struck me as interesting was that he started running at 81 years of age.

So now is as good a time as any to find a marathon training program to ad the title "marathoner" to your name.

New york City Marathon

Want inspiration for your next marathon training program...

"The man competing in the race, who had no legs, was also blind.

In that moment, I was given one of the most powerful gifts I've ever received. Here was a man, who looked to be in his late 40s, without legs, without sight, racing in the one of the greatest, most challenging marathons in the world. "
