Running up that hill

With thanks to Kate Bush, I was humming the song, 'Running up that Hill' on a recent morning of hill repeats.

The line I kept singing in my head over and over, "And if I only could, I'd make a deal with god, and I'd get him to swap our places.  Be running up that road, be running up that hill...with no problems".

Thanks Kate.  I had a great session!

Until next time...

Proper Running Form

Courtesy of
Gibson's Daily Run Quotes

I spent many years running not worrying at all about form.  When disaster struck about 3 years ago...first Plantar Fasciitis then broken foot bones...I had to finally think about proper running form if I wanted to continue to run.  And I love to run!

The very first thing I did was change from 'Heel Strike' to 'Forefoot' or 'Mid-foot' running.  It took some time to get used to but now it's completely natural.  It led to a change in shoes:  not fully minimal but I have moved completely away from the traditional 'wedge' running shoe.

I've also scoured the web to find training tips to improve my form and speed.  I found this one recently and like the easy suggestions and training tips.

Enjoy and keep running.  That's my plan.

Until next time...
