Dale's Dissertations on Running, Racing and Training
Lessons learned from a beginner's training
Running/Racing lessons learned...or my version of "Wear Sunscreen"...by Baz Luhrmann.
As the year closes and I reflect on the many things I've learned and think about the zillion things I've yet to learn, I'd thought I'd write 'em down so I can compare where I am to where I'll be in a few years... take from it what you will.
General Running Lessons
These are the most important lessons, actually, based on a 'hard/easy' approach and adhering to many of Dr. Jack Daniel's (and others) principles. Running is fun and that should never, never be forgotten. We are lucky to be able to enjoy this simple act, whether it's for fun, competition through racing, improving health, weight loss or simply stress relief.
General Racing Lessons
General Training Lessons
Well, that's enough from me. There are other, more obvious lessons, like 'Don't run a 20K road race on a sprained ankle', but I think I'm the only one who needed to learn that particular one...ha.
As before, written with a tip of the hat and a bow to:
Lydiard, Cooper, Young, Costill, Pfitzinger, Glover, Higdon, Galloway, McMillian, Sheehan and of course, Dr Daniels.
Train on!
