Hills Are Speedwork In Disguise.

For The Novice Runner, I'd Say To Give Yourself At Least 2 Months Of Consistently Running Several Times A Week At A Conversational Pace Before Deciding Whether You Want To Stick With It. Consistency Is The Most Important Aspect Of Training At This Point.

You Can Actually Suffer A Little Bit More Going Slowly Than When You're Going Really Fast. A Faster Marathon Might Even Be Easier Than A Slow One, In Terms Of What It Takes Out Of You Mentally.

Running A Marathon Is Just Like Reading A Good Book. After A While You're Just Not Conscious Of The Physical Act Of Reading.

As I've Been Able To Once Again Gain The Benefits Of Speed Work, I'm Enjoying My Running More And More.

The Marathon Is All About Energy Management. I Had Planned To Run It Like A Track Race With Strategic Surges To Blow Up My Competitors By Putting Them Into Oxygen Debt, So That Is The Way I Prepared.
