Here is the start, there is the finish line. Between that, you have to run.

We are designed to run and we increase our chance of daily happiness when we do so.

A lifestyle change begins with a vision and a single step.

I spent the first twenty years of my running career trying to run as many miles as I could as fast as I could. Then I spent the next twenty years trying to figure out how to run the least amount of miles needed to finish a marathon. And I've come to the conclusion the second way is much more enjoyable.

The more you frame the marathon as a stressful experience, the more negative messages you'll receive. But it's just as easy to frame it as a positively challenging journey.

When using the run-walk method to finish a marathon, the most important walk break comes in the first mile. The second most important one comes in the second mile, and so on. The point is, walk before you become fatigued.

Find a way to enjoy parts of every run. Most of your runs should be mostly enjoyable.
