Weekend long run

Hi there, my running friend! Today is the day of great running plans. It's weekend, though you should carefully plan your weekend run. Weekend is designed for long runs naturally. You can work out as hard as he'll and still have plenty of time to recover from most runners light injuries. Like itchy fingers and heavy legs.

By the way, it's autumn out there, if you hand't noticed yet. Autumn is a perfect time to begin running or to start a weight loss program. Autumn feels like it was designed to run through it naturally too. You can advocate summer or spring, even winter has it's own benefits, but autumn. Oh, autumn has no competitors. It's pretty fun to run in autumn forest. Everithing is clear, air is cool, refreshing and inviting. Sun shines and it is so mild, oh. Your every other step feels like it's not a step on the ground, but a giant jump just to the outer space, in between of distant stars. Maybe I'm too much fond of autumn running, but who cares and does it matter?

Running is all about motivation. While moving yourself through local neighborhood on feet with quite a speed seems stupid at first glance, at a second one it comes to be more interesting process. You do stuff which is not actually useful at first glance and brings no profit and not fun on not fun at all even. And from time to time you begin to receive positive vibrations, your health improves in general, you can carry more weight and take more obligations, offer more cervices at last. So that's how it works, you improve stuff around you. Your life, it's all about improvement to things that are unrelated while you look from distance and seeing connections between your running and your life when look closer. So let's assume that running is finally for the greater good.

And getting back to autumn and weekends, this time you can shift some rules and get some more out your body, run more, run faster and run more intense. Don't ask me why you should try it, if you have such questions, you just shouldn't even try this, follow your training plan, but if you feel nice and want some experiments, just mix some other activities like push ups or sit ups in your training and fell better.

So days go darker, work become more monotonous and there's no light in the end and fire in the heart to heat your lazy body and mind. It's much harder to get up early in the morning or go out in the evening to have a nice small run. Your training log is filled with empty days -- no runs -- no fun, no health, no fitness -- all you can think about is a good night-sleep in your comfortable apartments. You know what? I have my great advice for you, fellow runner!

1. Create new running routes

To get more of autumn-winter new short daylight time try to rethink your approach to creating running route. Make changes to it to get more light -- choose something else, but park -- you will get street lighting to help you and mark all places where you can change to your running outfit -- plan running around that places. Utilize work, parents, time after meetings, maybe change your daily get-back-home routine to add some running.

2. Lunch break rethinked

Talking about work, you can use your lunch break as your run break -- find out if you have parks or stadiums around and feel free to change and do your sport activities.

3. Uphill running.

Try uphill -- it will not only strengthen your lungs and legs, but shorten your training time -- you'll fell results of your training faster, so you can get home faster. Find out if you have some fitting landscape around.

4. Try adding more speed.

It will help you get more warmth in short time. And it will empower your legs. Thy intervals like fastening for 20-40 seconds and then walking for a minute two - three times during your training.
