7 Reasons Why I Love Running
Running is so great for you for so many reasons. Most people, myself included, start
running as a great way to lose weight. However, most of us get so hooked on running that
even after we've lost the weight that we wanted to - we just can't give up running. But,
that's a good thing! Running keeps us healthy - helps us to live a longer life - gives us
more energy - and so on.
Here are the major reasons that I love running:
1. Because it gives me the energy that I need to get through my day. I live a super busy life
- and I can't imagine that I could get everything done that I do if I didn't have the energy
that I get from my morning run.
2. I love running because I love getting outdoors. Running gets me outside and I
sometimes see things that a lot of people miss. I love being outside with nature and the
feeling that I get from being out there. I also love to explore when I'm on vacation - I get to
see things that I might miss otherwise.
3. Because it gives me clarity of mind. When I'm running, anything that I may have
problems dealing with seems so much clearer. I can sort things out and come to a
conclusion that I may not have otherwise.
4. Because it helps me to deal with things beyond my control. With the passing of a loved
one - or other things that happen in life - running helps me to sort through feelings that I
may be feeling. It leaves me more able to help others deal with their feelings.
5. Because it keeps me healthy. I firmly believe that running has kept me healthier
throughout my life than I may have been otherwise. I know that I rarely get colds and have
never really had the flu or anything like that. Running, in my opinion, has kept me from
these ailments.
6. Because I like to eat! Yes, I like to eat - and I know that running has helped to keep my
weight down!
7. Because I love the freedom that I feel when I run. I love the feeling that I get from being
alone out on the roads. It's the freedom - and I love the "me" time that running provides
me. We all need some time to ourselves - and running gives me mine.

How to Start Running: 15 Things You
Need to Know
With more people wanting to lose weight or get in shape, running has exploded in
popularity over the past decade with 42 million regular runners, according to a Runners
USA report. Running is a great exercise with many benefits including weight loss,
strengthening of your cardiovascular system, and increased happiness by relieving stress.
Start running armed with these simple tips-you will build up your running from minutes to
miles, whether you're a beginner or getting back in shape.
Set realistic goals.
As a beginner, you should first write down some short term goals that you can easily
achieve. Post them on the refrigerator to remind you. They may be as simple as "I will
work out for five minutes longer today." Build on these small victories first to get a sense of
accomplishment before setting long term goals. Later, as your running progresses, and to
challenge yourself, make long term goals that you can conquer. One day you may find
yourself running in a 5k, 10k or 13.1 half marathon.
Start with the right shoes.
For a sport that depends on healthy feet, a quality pair of running shoes is the most
important gear you will need. Deciding which shoes are right for you can seem
overwhelming, but visit a running store where they have specialized personnel trained to
analyze your running gait and recommend the best running shoes for your style. A
reasonable price for a good pair of running shoes will cost $75-$100. Replace your shoes
every 300 to 500 miles.
Get the proper running apparel.
While you don't need to break the bank for running clothes, it is important to buy the right
apparel. Cotton t-shirts and shorts will get heavy when they become wet from sweat, which
may cause painful chafing to your skin. Invest in running clothes made of 100% polyester
or similar synthetic materials that wick away sweat and keep you more comfortable.
Women should always wear a supportive sports bra to prevent permanent sagging of their
breasts.

Fuel your body.
Running will help you burn 400 calories or more per hour. But in order to get or maintain a
fit body, you've got to replace them with healthy food. "Your pre-run snack should be sugar
boosting, like a banana, energy bar or energy drink says Coach Edwards. Running on an
empty stomach is neither good for your body nor does it make running fun.
Hydrate before you run.
Beginners need to pay attention to what and how much they're drinking before, during and
after exercise. Staying hydrated is critical to your running performance and, more
importantly, for preventing heat-related illnesses. Drink water often during the day. "The
rule of thumb is to multiply your body weight by 0.6 to determine the amount of water in
ounces you should consume every day to keep your tissues healthy and injury free,"
Coach Edwards says. Dehydration in runners may cause fatigue, headaches, decreased
coordination, and muscle cramping.
Stretch before and after your run.
Some research suggests that static stretching cold muscles can cause injury. "Loosen up
cold muscles with light stretching of your quadriceps, hamstrings and calves to avoid shin
splints, hamstring pulls and other common running injuries. Hold each stretch for 15-25
seconds. Add easy jumping jacks, a five minute run, or a brisk walk," says Elizabeth
Edwards, a high school track coach and 9 time marathon runner. Cool down the same way
to help maintain a healthy range of motion in your joints and prevent tight muscles, which
can cause inefficient form and injuries.
Motivational music is cool.
While some runners think music is distracting, many runners believe music provides them
an advantage when they pump up their tunes. "Research is mixed on the topic, but I use
my music playlist to pace my distance. One day out the week I run without music to focus
on my form," says Coach Edwards. Other runners enjoy listening to books, podcasts or
motivational speeches to pass the time. Try what works best for you.
Start at a slow pace.
While you may feel you can run a good distance fairly fast, start with 20 to 30 minutes
(your body will be surprised at how long it feels!). Don't overdo it. Give your body a chance
to adjust to this new activity. Gradually increase your distance with a walk and run plan
until your stamina improves. Aim to increase your running by 10 percent each week. You
should be able run and to carry on a conversation without being out of breath. As you start
to feel stronger, run more and walk less, the distance will naturally increase. This will
ultimately help you feel better and stay injury free.

Think about your form.
When starting, it normal to feel awkward during the first few weeks of running, even if
you've run in the past and are starting up again. Start every running workout by thinking
about good running form; ensure that:
- Head is balanced over your shoulders and focused forward
- Shoulders are relaxed to allow your lungs to expand
- Arms are around 90 degrees and swinging like a pendulum from your shoulders
- Hands are relaxed and not crossing over your belly button as your arms swing
- Hips are under your shoulders and stabilizing your legs as they move under your body
- Feet are landing with short, light, quick strides under your hips
Decide where to run.
If you choose to run on a treadmill, your surface is stable and there are no concerns about
the weather. But, like many runners, you may need to step out your front door and run
outside for a change of scenery. Running on sidewalks or pathways is generally safe. But
if you have to run on the road, run facing traffic so you can react to distracted drivers.
Wear bright or reflective clothing to improve visibility, especially before dawn or at dusk.
Drivers may not always see you, especially at night. School tracks are ideal places to start
running, since they're flat, traffic free, and four laps around most tracks equal one mile.
Many tracks are available to the public in the evening or on the weekends.
Running is safe.
Whether you are running near a police station or a near a high crime area, you should
always think safety first. You need to be safe on your runs, so you're well enough to run
another day. Take the necessary precautions by carrying a cell phone, carry identification
with your name and phone number and avoid unlit or isolated areas. Remember to alter or
vary your running routes to avoid stalkers. Be extra cautious when wearing headphones
because you are less likely to hear a person approach you. Consider running with a friend
or a dog. Most importantly, trust your intuition and avoid situations if you're unsure. If you
think a situation doesn't feel 'right', run in another direction.

Track your progress.
As you feel stronger, start to measure your run by time and distance. There are easy to
use running apps that track your time, distance covered and calories burned. Tracking
your running will help keep you motivated and you'll see your progression.
Give it a rest.
Now that you are running, listen to your body. In most cases, expect some muscle aches
and soreness for a few days, especially in the quadriceps and calves. Persistent or
worsening pains as you walk or run are indicators that you may be pushing too hard. Back
off a bit and you'll continue to improve without injury. Rest is necessary for your muscles to
repair and become stronger. "Depending on your fitness level, beginning runners should
start off resting every other day," according to Edwards.
Reward your efforts.
After a week of workouts, reward yourself for all the hard work with your favorite meal,
drink or buy a graphic t-shirt with a running theme to use on your next run. It will motivate
you for the upcoming week.
Sign up for a race.
Once you are feeling better about your endurance, sign up for a 5k race. It is great way to
add the extra motivational push while giving back to help raise funds for nonprofit
organizations of your choice. Sign up is easy online.
Many people either love or hate running. Give running a try, it may change your life.
Hopefully, these running tips will get you started and make it fun. But the best tip is to fight
through the negative thoughts and continue to push forward. Once you overcome that
difficult barrier, the rewards will truly be more satisfying.

18 No-Nonsense Tips To Running
Faster
Wanting to be a good runner, lose weight or dreaming of crossing the finish line in a new
record time means nothing unless you have the motivation to make it a reality.
The truth is, far too many highly qualified, deserving people don't achieve what it was they
were setting out for simply because they stopped trying just a few days, weeks or years
from creating a masterpiece effort.
Tiger Woods, Usain Bolt, Ryan Hall, to name a few, did not get the way they are without
extreme amounts of hard work and dedication; yet they are looked on as if they are on
another level, they are for a reason.
Now, you may be saying, 'I'm not interested in being an elite athlete'.
There is nothing wrong with that mindset but what I do want for you is to help motivate you
to see your true potential become a reality in your life.
This is a tough sport, results come sometimes years down the line. How much are you
willing to take to see your goal, whatever that may be, come to fruition?
Running fast is an art and what is beautiful about this sport is everyone is an artist and can
express themselves in their own way.
No one in a world of over 7 billion people can run, think and act like you.
You are special, you matter, you are an artist.

1. Persist
There is nothing more attractive than a disciplined individual who has the willingness to
persist in the fact of setbacks. You will learn about yourself and often times you will find
just how much potential you truly have by persisting when others let up.
Persistent athletes run faster because they have studied what does and doesn't work in
training. If you truly want to run faster than you have to be persistent.
Easy running will never challenge you. Your body adapts to the stress you place on it, if
that stress is too minimal there will be no physical gains from that work.
You can't drop 5 minutes off your half-marathon time by running relaxed miles everyday.
2. Care
Care about your craft. Running faster can be done by anyone who realizes this simple fact,
anyone can run easy.
It takes skill to run fast and you have the potential to improve just as much as any elite
runner anywhere in the world, but to be great at what you do in this sport demands you
care more than the next guy or gal down the street.
Nothing can take the place of caring about your art (your goals).
How much you care will be clearly evident in the way you prepare for your races and the
end result the moment you cross the finish line. Care more about seeing yourself succeed
and you will run faster because you are paying attention to the little things that matter most
in your training.
Diet, sleep, motivation are three you can work on.
3. Visit R.D.A.
I don't want 'fans'.
Fans are for superstars and I am not one of them.
If you want to feel like a part of a running family and interact with other runners who can
help you run faster by their input than I encourage you to stop in and send a hello.

Running faster also occurs when you learn from others who may have done things you
currently are dreaming about doing. Find out how they did it and adjust your training to
create a similar or better result.
4. Relax
The first muscles of the body that usually tense up first are the facial and shoulder
muscles.
You can easily stop this from happening simply by consciously using powerful words as
your running such as 'relax', 'smooth and powerful'..whatever you need to do to relax, do it.
You can run faster in your training and racing, simply by learning how to practice running
more relaxed.
Too much wasted energy leads to stress, re-direct elsewhere where it counts and you will
run faster.
5. Fight The Urge To Run Too Fast, Too Early In Your Races
It doesn't matter where you are at in the first mile of your 5K, where are you at in the last
half-mile?
If you have done your homework in training than you don't need to concern yourself over
the fact that you aren't in the lead or even on pace the first few miles of your race.
What matters is are you able to react and speed up when the others who weren't as wise
and patient as you were, are slowing in the race.
It isn't where you are at in the beginning of the race but at the end.
6. Implement Fartlek Running Into Your Training Regiment
One of the easiest ways to make training interesting and break up the monotony of the
usual routine.
How many times have we been races, someone passes us and we can't do anything
about it.

It doesn't have to be this way and if it happens to you or has in the past than implementing
fartlek workouts into your training can be your secret weapon.
You want to be able to react when someone passes you or speed up at will, many times
speeding up is easier than maintaining the same pace. Far too often we fail to realize that
we have far more energy reserves but we get stuck in the same pace and think that is all
we have.
If we can sprint at the end of the race when 10 miles earlier we think we are about to pass
out is a great indication that we are not using our full potential.
It should also show us that we really have far more in us and how mental this sport is.
We can't react because we haven't trained body's energy systems properly.
Using fat as your main fuel source at race speeds takes high-end, consistent hard work to
become a reality
It doesn't happen by running easy daily, staying in the comfort zone. It happens when you
push your body like the great runners do.
Conserving carbohydrates so you don't experience the 'wall' is what occurs when you
learn to run longer periods of time at higher heart rates.
7. Lose weight
Studies have shown that weight loss can take off an average of 2 seconds per mile off of
your race time.
8. Focus On Your Form
If you feel like your shoulders are riding up too high, lower them. Simple as that.
You usually don't run into issues like this unless you are racing or doing a hard tempo run
but you can easily adjust this in training.
The time to practice running relaxed and focusing on proper form is in training, so that
come race day any issues can be instantly corrected while racing.

9. Get Out Of The Comfort Zone
It is a dangerous place that doesn't take you to new heights, help you reach your
capability. Steven Pressfield, calls it the Resistance in his book 'Do The Work'.
All of our lives since we were young we are taught not to question, to adhere, follow the
rules.
You and I are here for too short of a time to comply.
You need to start dreaming bigger, thinking higher of yourself and start working your ass
off to see your dreams become a reality.
Why?
It may sound harsh but the majority of people simply won't give a shit if you are trying to
not.
I do cause I understand what this sport entails.
I know what you are dealing with but the people who tell you to 'get a life', 'think realistic',
'your putting too much emphasis here and not here where I want it to be' won't.
You need to get out of your comfort zone.
I am sick and tired of hearing people who have been told their whole life that they don't
have the genetics, not enough talent and the rest of the lies society likes to throw on you,
on me.
Start doing something about your training. You have a great deal of potential, act on it.
10. Don't Expect Running To Be Easy To Run Faster
One of my biggest pet peeves as an athlete is people thinking I have talent.
I don't.
Dathan Ritzenhein has talent. I watched that kid run 15.18 on my cross-country course at
Malone University.

He absolutely destroyed the field that day.
My best 5K in high school was 16.16, nearly a minute slower. He has run 2.07 to my 2.19.
Big difference.
I had a Soldier come up to me a few weeks ago and say, 'Sir (a word I don't even like
being referred by but in the military it is said out of respect), I wish I could run as fast as
you.
My response?
'Aim to be better than me. Stop looking at me as better than you because I am not'. What
he, like society as a whole, sees, is the event (someone he knows who can run faster than
him).
He cannot possibly have seen the last 21 years of endless, monotonous, boring miles,
hard work and sacrifice, the process it has taken to run faster than he can run.
11. Inspire Someone By Your Ability
It is completely worthless for me to tell someone I am a 2.19 marathoner without first
telling them that they can do equally as good if not surpass this achievement.
Helping other people is one of the most noble acts any human being can do for another.
I wish our world, media outlets and news networks would stop spending unknown amounts
of money brainwashing the world that we need more wars and trying to separate the world.
Some believe in the lie. I don't.
There is not enough love in the world. Our news networks need a story and unfortunately
wars are big business but to me, it is about the least inspiring part of life.
I didn't grow up dreaming of being a Soldier. It is a profession where you either love it or
hate it. I am in the middle.
I love the people I work with and am inspired by their dedication to their job but I hate
these so-called conflicts that have been created by the elite and it is the Soldier, Airmen,
Coast Guardsmen, Marine and Seaman that fights and dies for these people.

Our world economy would not be in the state it is in if we would stop wasting our precious
time fighting and start uplifting and inspiring one another to do big things.
You are important.
I don't give a damn if you are 50 pounds overweight, a 6-hour marathoner, a 30-minute 5K
athlete, you matter.
You matter because you can inspire someone to get in shape, to change their lives, to
make a dream they thought was impossible, possible.
How can you run faster by doing this?
You'll run faster because you'll be inspired by what you have done with your life.
You'll feel a rush to do something that others thought was impossible and they, in turn, will
follow suit.
That matters.
12. How Fast You Run Doesn't Give You More Worth
I have a lot of experience in this sport but there are things I learn everyday from my
readers, from the emails I receive, from interacting with other runners on different social
media outlets that exceed anything I have done as an athlete.
Be motivated to run faster, let it inspire you to do great things with your physical and
mental abilities but don't forget to be humble.
There will always be someone faster somewhere in the world.
There are school children in Kenya running three times a day who have more motivation
than I have. It makes me question if I am doing all I can.
I hope I run a fast enough marathon time in the near future to give up my VIP treatment to
someone a major race would never pay attention to.
I promise if this happens I will hand pick one of my readers to take my place in the VIP
tent, the free hotel etc.

I will work my ass off to try to make this a reality. I believe in Christ's words that it is more
blessed to give than it is to receive.
13. Invest In The Process And The Event Will Be Something You Would Not Believe
Was Possible If Someone Told You
The bottom line is this. Goals should not be meant to be easy.
You only have one crack at this life so you had better start thinking wild goals.
It is only you who can say 'this is impossible'. Others may tell you your goal is impossible
but it is up to you if you want to believe that or not.
You have to act on it everyday. The days you don't want to even more.
Where is the challenge in picking easy goals.
If you are a 25.00 minute 5K runner, what inspires you to try for 24.59? How about 21.15?
What sounds more appealing, exciting, inspiring?
It could be either and sometimes trying to match what we have done in the past is
extremely difficult.
I ran 2.19.35 in December of 2007 and am still trying to better that time but I know if I ran a
2.19.34 I honestly wouldn't be that inspired.
I know 40 years from now, if I don't push my body to its utmost limit and try for something
wild like 2.15.00 at age 36 I simply won't get anything out of it.
You have to live on the edge because the comfort zone is not your friend.
You and I are not guaranteed tomorrow, start stretching your limits out on the roads and
tracks.
'I hate every minute of training, but I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your
life a champion'- Muhammad Ali

14. Change Your Shoes Every 300-400 Miles
You will run faster by staying injury free.
Training in worn out shoes will not assist you in anyway in running faster.
A few small precautions like ensuring you are training in shoes that are in good condition
will ensure you are healthy and safer from being injured. You cannot run faster by being
stuck on a stationary bike for weeks on end.
15. Listen To What Your Body Is Telling You
This is crucial to becoming a faster runner. A common mistake far too many runners make
is this notion that you have to run every day to get the most out of yourself.
Untrue.
You don't have to train 7 days a week, twice a day to become a faster runner. It isn't about
mileage or how many days a week you run.
What are you putting into those miles and what are you doing with the days you do train
are the questions you need to ask yourself.
If your Achilles tendon is feeling stiff, the best course of action is not to continue to run on
land.
A great alternative is to get in the deep end of a pool and pool run. Zero impact on your
joints and tendon.
Small adjustment, major fitness gains and you can take the injury you would have dealt
with by continuing to run on it, out of the question.
Is it going to suck trying to run in the deep end of a pool when all you want to do is train as
usual?
Absolutely.
What would you rather do. Train in the pool or be out of commission for a few weeks or
worse, a few months?

Easy choice right?
More is not always better.
Work smarter, not harder. I ran as high as high as 142 miles a week trying to break 2.22.00
and I broke 2.20.00 running 90 mile weeks.
16. Pick Competitive Races
One of the best ways to run faster is testing your ability in competitive races.
What do you get out of running a race where you win by 4 minutes but run a time that isn't
close to what you wanted to run?
Sure it feels great to win but what about if you get into a race where you may finish 3rd
and set a 7 minute personal best?
Which would you rather take? I guess that determines on your goals and who is reading
this post.
I would much rather pick a race where I knew I wasn't going to win but had a much better
chance of getting tested, than choosing a race I was sure I could win but not be in the
environment to get out of my comfort zone and not improve.
17. Fight The Resistance
Seth Godin, in his book, Watcha Going To Do With That Duck, puts it like this,
Hard work is about risk.
It begins when you deal with the things that you'd rather not deal with: fear of failure, fear
of standing out, fear of rejection.
Hard work is about training yourself to leap over this barrier, tunnel under that barrier, drive
through the other barrier. And after you've done that, to do it again the next day.
Stephen Pressfield, terms the resistance as anything that stops you from living the life you
envision living.

What are the things stopping you from achieving your fitness or running goals?
Is it because you think you are too old, too fat, too slow?
You need to get around that thinking and the moment you hear that part of your conscious
mind resisting, change the direction of the inner conversation you are having.
I remember very well how I felt when I failed missing my last chance to qualify for the 2008
USA OIympic Marathon Trials at the 2007 Chicago Marathon.
I started to question (for that day at least) if I was capable of a 2.22.00 marathon time.
I ran a 2.51.52 and had to walk and jog the last 14 miles. Two months later I ran 2.19,
nearly 22 minutes faster.
You always have the choice of either listening to that part of the brain telling you to quit,
that you aren't good enough or you can take action and order it to work in your favor.
How?
By not letting up when things don't go as planned.
There is a part of your brain called the amygdala where fear is located within the brain.
It is the part of the brain that is activated when we look in our rear view mirror and see the
sirens of the police pulling you over or when you look at your phone and see it is your boss
calling
You know that feeling.
You have to fight those feelings of worry, fear and their limiting effects it can have on your
athletic performance.
Don't focus on the things that are out of your control, envision what you do have control
over and you will be in a better position to run faster.
You'll be less stressed and more focused to do so.

18. Use A Heart Rate Monitor
There are many runners who have absolutely no idea if they are running too fast or too
slow in training.
I completely agree with the fact that you can still get great benefits without using a heart
rate monitor but it still is a great option to consider.
I have used heart rate monitors since I was a freshman in college. I started using them
thanks to the advice of my collegiate coach, Jack Hazen, while attending Malone
University.
Jack was named the 2012 London Olympics Men's and Women's head distance running
coach at the games. It took some time to get adjusted to training with heart rate monitors.
I didn't like a strap around my chest while I was running but I did like having a set heart
rate to focus on while doing a tempo run and knew if I was running too slow that all I had to
do was speed up and raise it.
It is simple and is a great way to stay motivated during the workout and you leave the
guesswork of training intensity out of the equation. If an Olympic coach recommends it I
have no concern over recommending it to you.
Again, it is only a recommendation and you should always train what works best for you.
Fight the resistance, dream big and train big. Don't expect this to be an easy process
because it isn't.
Your goals will test your physical and mental capacity but I promise you that if you stay
persistent and don't waiver you will run faster and demolish any impossible goal you set
for yourself.
