I'm not a marathon runner... would love to get to half marathon some day... but read this today 😄 It's the OptimiseNotes of a book called "The power of full engagement" by Tony Schwartz... but after reading this I don't think I'll be buying it!!!!!! Maybe he's just jealous!!!! 😄

There are a lot of amateur 'gurus' out there who make it up as they go along!

Not a marathon runner, though I guess I did look a little sallow when finishing my one and only ten miles 😂. Weird thoughts this guy has...

Well done for not buying . Born to Run is far more inspiring.

What a pile of 💩.

Here's Catra Corbett in a 100 mile race. Does she look emotionally flat?

I see she's disguised herself to blend in with the cactus flowers behind. 🤣

So much 💩 written by people on all sorts of subjects.Last week I saw what I guessed was a long distance runner right out in the middle of nowhere and I thought his powerful but purposefully slow stride was wonderful.

Three cheers for long distance runners 👍

We’re every kind of runner! 🙂

We never envisage our future running selves when embarking on C25K. Few of us had any aspirations other than finishing the session.

Don’t pigeonhole yourself as any kind of runner. Just keep running for pleasure and better health and who knows where you’ll end up 💪😀👍

If you want to run a half marathon you will. Good luck 🙂
