on 9/4/2007 I think intensity is the key. I have never understood why the experts say to run at a pace where you can carry on a conversation. I have been running for over twenty years and my favorite approach is to start out with a nice slow pace for about 5 minutes to get my muscles loosened up and my blood flow, then increase my pace as if I am in a race with myself. I wear an ironman watch and time myself. Then next time I run I try to beat that time. That is what works for me. I am also an over-pronator. I do not run from heel to toe, but rather the outside of the ball of my foot strikes first and then rolls to the inside. My heels rarely touch the surface unless it is a run of 10 miles or more and I am tired.

on 11/5/2006 A thing that helped me was to meditate. During a run that you know, you can look straight ahead, touch your thumb to your pinki, then your thumb to your ring, then your thumb to your middle, then your thumb to your index finger, do this on both hands. Also say a phrase repeatedly, I say 'towards the line' over and over. Meditation takes your mind off everything and you would be surprised how much longer you can run while meditating.

on 3/26/2006 If you have a certain distance to run, try not to think about how far you have to run and how tired you might have gotten and that you have to run so much more. Thinking about something else or listening to music while jogging will help a lot.

on 11/22/2005 The way you breath is very important. Control your breathing by breathing in and out though your nose. As you grow tired, breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. Breathing in through your mouth will cause you to become tired faster.
