BRITNEY,PUT ON YOUR RUNNING SHOES AND RUN!

ON ROAD TO SELF DESTRUCTION!

Running gives you plenty of time to think,and i was thinking how lucky we runners are.
running gives us a great sense of achievement,self discipline,freedom and awareness of our environment.it gives us a great respect of nature,and i think running makes us a better person.
i was thinking of all the pop stars and celebs on the road to self destruction,of how they have fame fortune and everything,yet are still not happy with their live's
i was thinking BRITNEY PUT ON YOUR NIKE RUNNING SHOES AND RUN,RUN ACROSS THE DESSERT,FEEL THE SUN, THE FRESH AIR, THE WIND ON YOUR FACE,THE BEAT OF YOUR HEART! RUN UP INTO THE HILLS AND LOOK INTO THE DARKENING SKY,SEE THE STARS SHIMMER ABOVE. NOW BRITNEY YOU ARE ALIVE WITH NOT A CARE IN THE WORLD, SO RUN BRITNEY RUN!!!













Touch me,take me to a higher place !

Reflections on the natterjack seaside 10k

quite happy with my run on Sunday,ran the first 4 1/2 miles with team mate mark clarehugh.mark ran sub 2.40 in the London marathon so i knew i was in good company.felt the pace was comfy upto 4 miles,then at 4 1/2 m mt legs went! mark pulled out over 30 sec on me in that last 1 mile 1/2.
i think my legs just filled with lactic acid,after all am only in my base faze of Arthur lydiards training,so after I've done the anaerobic training latter on i should be flying!
well lets hope so!!!

Run a Faster NATTERJACK SEASIDE 10K

Tips to run a faster 10k,
have a good warm up,run steady for 10 mins then do 2 strides at race pace.
Don't set off too fast at the start,because of adrenalin many runners charge off only to die a death after the first mile when there legs get full of lactic acid,try to hold back abit for the first couple of minutes. better to be passing runners throughout the race than have runner after runner pass you.
settle down into a good pace,work at turning your legs over at a fast cadence and don't think about your stride length.land on the balls of your feet,not your heels,run tall,chest pushed forward,shoulders back and head up.
THINK LEG SPEED! LEG SPEED!
if there is a strong head wind try to run in a group,take it in turns to work into the wind then go to the back of the group for shelter before pulling though again,work together.
always take the shortest route,there are no prizes for running over distance!
once you get to the last mile really push hard now,try to get the last bit of energy out of your legs.
last 200m,time for a final sprint,push all the way to the line.
GOOD JOB! YOUR WORK IS DONE!
TRY TO PUT SOME WARM CLOTHES ON AND HAVE A GENTLE JOG.
ENJOY YOUR' NATTERJACK SEASIDE 10K'
