Think small when it comes to your health

Epcot Food and Wine Festival 20th
Eating, drinking, working, family, socializing, tv, chores – a long list of distractions.

 

She did the Couch to 5k and it worked for her. She had never been a runner.

As our conversation progressed (we had just met five minutes prior) she shared what a struggle it is to juggle her schedule.

The bottomline, she is no longer running.

So in essence, the Couch to 5k failed.

Think about it.

She had a short term goal – a big goal relative to her past history – to do something she never did before.

Her long term goal should have could have been to never again be inactive.

Never. Again.

That happens one small day at a time.

The goal of running

Best HR motivational speaker in USA

 

The goal of running is to see what we are humanly capable of.

And to use our body in a way that goes back to the origin of mankind.

Running is how we escaped danger.

Running is how we caught food.

Modern day running is how we found joy on the playground.

Remember?

Yesterday’s track workout:

  • 2-mile slow jog warm up
  • 5 x 400: 98, 95, 88, 91, 89 (recovery = 400/4min walk)
  • 800 walk/8min walk between sets)
  • 5 x 800: 4:00, 3:41, 3:33, 3:21, 3:11 (recovery = 400/4min walk)
  • 2 mile cool down
  • 1 hour core and strength workout at Golds

Felt some mild shine pain during 400’s and decided to slow the pace and increase the distance, hence the 800’s.
