I am a creature of habit and simplicity, which may be while I enjoy running so much. All I need to go out for a run is to pop on my shoes, grab my earbuds & mighty, and head out the door.

“What kind of shoes should I get?”

That is, until this past year.
I went on a 7 day Carribean cruise with my family and noticed a dramatic difference. I noticed a major shift this year. I wasn’t craving a week to relax because I already ...

I always thought that was a genius lesson in the movie. Sometimes we have to do something that seems so illogical, but really will get us to our goal in the long run. Heart rate based run training reminds me of this very lesson.
You must slow down to speed up. In ...
