The Boston Marathon is the major event that reminds runners and would be exercisers to get in shape. While exercise is good for one’s health, sometimes those who decide to start running set the goal too high. Here is advice from Runner’s World.
“A good runner follows one workout with another over and over again for days, weeks, months, and years. In today’s quick-fix society, some might confuse consistency in training with being in a rut. To those who say, ‘What I need is a sure-fire, four-week program to run a new PR,’ I would advise:
“Change that to four months and you stand a better chance; make it four years and your odds will improve even more. That’s because it takes years to develop your physiology and program the neuromuscular pathways that help you run faster.” Run, Run, Repeat . Here is a link to all warm-up videos at Runner’s World.
