When running goes down: revive the dead track!

Hello, fellow runner! Today's question of interest is about getting close to experience cap in our field. Imagine you are at the maximum of your abilities -- you run perfectly from your point of view. No progress and everything you get in return from all your attempts is frustration and pain. Newbies frequently come to such a situation -- adding kilometers and minutes to their daily running activities and receiving less then they are willing to get. It's not a problem of human powers, it's a common problem of overpumped expectations. So grab your will and do nothing but train, but differently, if you please. Just assume that there is no experience cap in running -- you should experiment, involve your imagination, reed blogs like this and create new routine for your fun. But remember that we discuss only running as a hobby -- not professional sport! My advices can ruin your career as a professional runner -- mind this )



First trouble: you are getting low on power faster then you expect and loose speed.

How to solve: just relax -- ease your routine. Run, say, non every day, bun every other day, add walk breaks or something like this -- shorten your training for some time -- take a break an rest a little -- make your running routine more comfortable and life will turn it's brighter side to you. When in actually happen, just don't miss a moment -- empower your training -- run better and faster!

Second trouble: you just can't run faster.

You should add some speed exercises in your training routine. Seped-ups, slow-downs and intervals. Try uphill running in some cases it can let you focus on your other potential powers. Add long run to your timetable -- for the weekend, sunday morning, for example -- run more then you regular do -- focus on distance, not speed. So, working in this side areas will improve your speed and you will notice the effect after all.

Third trouble: you are over exhausted during your long runs.

Try to slow down your pace, add more kilometers to your training at lower rate -- don't try to eat great pie, take it by slices.

Runners' fears!

Troubles, runner can stand!

Why, hello fellow runner! Lets talk about preparing yourself for your first run ever. Or not exactly first, but maybe it's your first race or you stopped all running activities for long time. Let's discuss feelings you can be overwhelmed by in front of this challenge. To be correct from the start these feelings are divided into 2 groups -- wrong feelings and right feelings.

The first group consists of various fears produced by real problems -- like if you haven't bought proper shoes before your first run or you overexercised before the race day. It's a crap! You can fix this next time.

The other group should be handled with care -- it grows inside of black box in your head -- you never know what grows inside, because you can't remember what you have placed inside before. Self-destructive intimidation, for example, can cause really bad results and broken expectations. Try to avoid it, assume that you can't measure how you fit for your situation's demands -- it's not your problem -- you've done everything to perform well an all those measurements are nonsense. Leave fears. Train hard.

They are all around -- in every place all over the world there are guys and galz who do running better then you can even imagine, never fear this -- you should live with this or change the situation, but get your nose back from clouds -- it will consume much time. I'll continue on this topic later this week, stay tuned.
