Hey Magic Runners!!!!
Itโs Week 5 of the plan, which means weโre halfway there!!! How are you all getting on? Tell us all about it ๐๐๐
This week we are taking a break from the strength exercises, and consolidating our long run. So letโs use this time to tune into our feelings about our running so far, and have a think, and a read about running! Here are a few ideas for reading material.
โ Dip into the internet for running information and inspiration! Here are a few articles I have found interesting and useful...
Why do I keep getting injured? podiumrunner.com/why-do-i-g...
Smiling makes you a more efficient runner! outsideonline.com/2256666/s...
Avoid comparison to get the most out of your training trailrunnermag.com/training...
Blogger The Hungry Runner Girl is one of the most inspiring people I have found on the internet. Sheโs a mum, so there are a lot of photos of kids and dinner to get through on her blog ๐ But her intelligent, warm, and determined personality, and her amazing running skills, are awe-inspiring to me! She is currently training for a place in the Olympic Marathon trials, how amazing is that? Here is an article about that, which has a lot of interesting insight into training as an elite runner: podiumrunner.com/big-leaps-...
โ Or how about a book or three? Christmas is comingโฆ There are so many books about running to choose from these days!! I have read quite a few, including Run Like a Girl, Eat and Run, Born to Run - all fascinating and inspiring! My favourite, though, is still Ultramarathon Man by Dean Karnazes: amazon.co.uk/Ultramarathon-... Such exuberant (sometimes a little TMI perhaps!) descriptions of what it takes to run a really really long way - I love it! ๐๐๐
โ What reading do you recommend?
