A few people have asked me if I get bored during long training runs. Nope. What do you think about then? All kinds of things. Today as I ran I had this revelation:
There are two basic skill to master in long distance running:
1. starting
2. not stopping
I can def. relate to the second one...once you stop its all over... GOTTA KEEP GOING! YOU CAN"T NOT FINISH!
ReplyDeleteAhhh- HA! Got it! Maybe I am ready to start now??? You are just an inspiration Pip!

Hey Pip,
ReplyDeleteYou'd be proud. I did my first run last week on the treadmill at VIP. Managed to do 2.5kms before stopping.
However, on Saturday at touch, ran across the oval and stopped when out of sight... puffed. All in my head? You bet.
Any tips?
wow, after yesterday, STARTING a run that will last more than 3 hours is going to be a challenge. yeah, and the not stopping part might be hard, too! (does it count if you pass out?!) oh well, the people around will help, right?!
