Hi there, fellow runner!

It's hard to do things when you have handcuffs on even when you are mighty and scary monster with sharp teeth

Hi there, fellow runner! How the things are going today? Mine are well, but I had no running activities for about two last weeks. It's all about laziness, I know. Lets get ready for new running season on runplusdesign.com -- it's almost here. And of course we'll get back to German language and learn it from start to finish (I hope)!

Running in cold and severe weather conditions

Hi there, fellow runner. Today we'll discuss really hot topic -- which meanwhile is very cold and wet and dark and rainy and even snowy in few weeks later -- winter and late autumn running, I mean. You should take care of your health and accessories in advance to never fall down in front of hard times later.

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.
