Just received my women's running magazine. Thought this was interesting for all us new runners and graduates 😊

[DiscoRunner Graduate]

Fantastic!!! And validation for us slow runners - we’re just taking our time to be fast! 🤣🤣🐢🐌💪

Haha. I like that “ taking our time to be fast”

[Nannyto2 Graduate in reply to Runfatgirlrun71]

Precisely my sentiments 😅

[Nannyto2 Graduate in reply to DiscoRunner]

Exactly, going slow to go faster! My sentiment exactly 😉

It is the message that we constantly push..............nice to know it is not just us.

Yeah... those mitochondria are the key to being able to use the endurance... the other ways of increasing them that I know of are to live up a mountain, or the special houses of Nike’s Project Oregon, which was controversial , and almost classed as doping.

I’m assuming that my levels of them are raising as my slow has become faster over the last few months, I’m now working on finding a new slow gear at the pace it used to be... with some success.

[Couchpotato2 Graduate]

Yes I heard that from Coach Bennett on I think Another long run by NRC. He was saying that long runs have benefits for increasing mitochondrial action...

Hills are what made me faster. Those and running further.

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

We always knew it...the long slow runs build stamina, strength..distance and speed..😏🐌🐌🐌
