Using the Tough Runs for Motivation, Training Is All About the Ups and Downs

ByTim Nolte

Despite another night of not sleeping well, and a late night on top of that. I managed to drag myself out of bed and get out and run. Even better I managed to challenge my best 5 mile time in the past few weeks as my goal to beat, and I managed to beat it by a more than a minute.

Most runs aren’t going to be a PR, or a finish that feels great. Some days it’s going to feel like you’ve never ran a mile in your life. All of those hard days are just days where you body is adapting to your running, and every one of those hard days helps to make the good days that much better.

Getting back to the basics of marathon training means focusing on slowing down and building up the endurance needed to finish well. If I’ve learned anything from this past year…

    Last Full Training Week Before The Big Day

    ByTim Nolte
    Pretty much unheard of for me today ended up being an evening training run, and an #Endomondo one at that. I started off way better than the start of a typical morning run, but given I’ve had a whole day to get my body moving that sort of makes sense. It was still pretty warm…

    Warmer Weather Means More Morning Runners

    ByTim Nolte
    Great weather for a run this morning. Starting to see a lot more runners out in the mornings now. Enjoyed another run focusing on listening to God instead of letting myself get totally consumed with the craziness of life. Counting down the days until I get on the plane to #SierraLeone #Africa with the team….
