You know how to run, I mean it’s something you have done since childhood, is it not? You ran, played catch with friends, and ran some more and either you fell in love with the sport, and stuck to it, or you didn't love it and left it, only to start later on in adult life because maybe you thought it’s a good way to stay healthy. Either way, you both have something in common... at one stage you realized you are sitting a lot. Too much as a matter of fact. Just count the hours you are actually sit...

Then getting over the constant fight of getting comfortable on the sofa, or rather just taking a nap instead. But you know what? Life is too short to have a silly little excuse keep you from looking back proudly, in autumn and saying, "whew... I really did give it my best running this summer". And you know what's the biggest obstacle you need to overcome? No not time. No not nutrition. Its...

What does your marathon training plan contain? Let me guess... a lot of running, some fast, some slow, some uphill, perhaps a speed workout or two.... then of course stretching, a healthy diet... sounds about right, doesn't it? But why do so many enthusiastic starters of such a ambitious target abandon it halfway? Why do some runners give up? Lack of ambition, doubt it! Lack of discipline? Nope... it is something that happens between their ears... that gry matter we rely and depend on sometimes ...

Why was I thinking..? Answering that is a big breakthrough. If you don’t spend enough time searching for lessons learnt, chances are huge you will end up with the same result like you did last time. Another DNF, another shattered dream of a PB in your marathon. You will have buried those dreams, and settled for less than you actually could have done, could be reaching… your best race, your fastest time, your first fill in the blank 10K half marathon, trail run, ultra. And to find those correct a...
