Lessons

1) Introduction: Go Beyond Perceived Limits

I will share some of my knowledge/opinions about distance running on this page.

This is a primer for everything that I will discuss on this page. Many of the topics are addressed very briefly, but you should be able to grasp the general ideas.

These are only my opinions, based on my experience and research. You may feel that I am wrong at times, and I encourage you to think about what I am saying rather than accepting it at face value.

2) See what I have to say about Racing Strategy

The great thing about having a solid racing strategy is that it improves your performance right away. There are few things in distance running that can do this, so I've always been fascinated by the various strategies. I cover several approaches and discuss when they are appropriate.

3) Learn about Shoes

I feel that proper footwear is the first step toward becoming a healthy, happy runner. In some ways, this ought to be Lesson #1. If you do get hurt, you should look at some of the products FootSmart carries.

4) This graph sums up my Overall Training Strategy.

See if you can figure out where the optimal training zone is, and what this graph conveys about what happens when you train.

5) View the Form Analysis Session.

6) Learn about the Runner's Diet.

7) Read my Race Day Guidelines.

8) See my feelings about Cross-Training.
