Running is easy and simple, and that’s what makes it hard!

Without a goal or goal race, it’s like you are wandering aimlessly with your training. You can still work hard, but it’s hard to focus and see great improvement.

Time squeeze - lace them up for a twenty to thirty minute shake-out and get on with your day!

Consistency has to be a major tenant in training!

Some wear lightweight shoes all the time to make them feel fast. Save for races/fast wo's. Need more support & cushioning for main training.

Start EVERY w.o. under control, esp. with heat & humidity. Even I can go hard early. The trick is to be as strong at the end - & tomorrow!

I have know marathoners who train on soft surface to help save themselves. Some of that could be on a beach. Do drills in a long jump pit.

Trying to stretch your training shoes for those " extra miles" to save money may cost you in other ways.

Mileage during your early base building doesn't have to be slow, you just shouldn't push the intensity so much that you struggle.

Consistency in running is important, even if only a 20 min run. If you need a day off, trust yourself that you will run the following day.

Don't expect the maximum if you do the minimum!

Remember, it's basic to finish your workout as strong or stronger than you started. Be strong, be controlled, and don't struggle.
