"The fear of running a long race can come from the fact that you know it's going to be physically painful. And unless you are a masochist, nobody likes pain. And if you dwell on this, it can make you nervous."

Here is this week's Training Overview #44
Fast Women Newsletter #68 - April 20, 2020
3 reasons to do a "cool down run."
Why faster is not always better in a workout
Some good thoughts on why open spaces should be open during these cray times
Asks the question I have with regards to larger rescheduled races - will large races such as Boston be allowed due to the number of entrants and spectators and here on the cancelation of Berlin at its September date
Thoughts on using all the data your watch and sensors can provide
One of my more favorite workouts and one that many tend to miss out on - The Tempo Run
Charlie Trayer was one of the best American ultrarunners of the 1980's but few have probably heard of him - now you can
Having a hard time staying motivated running - maybe you need to re-evaluate the WHY.
Excerpt from Richard Avery's new book - The Five and Ten Men: Ten Men Who Redefined Distance Running - and a look at Henry's Rono's going from 15:40 to 13:06 in 2 months
OK, not really a World Record but a fun challenge to see how fast one can run 5K if you just track elapsed time - so far down to 10:57!! - Oh yea the running time was 1:02:50 and the timed running section was downhill:)
Finding value in these uncertain times
Yes they may be selling a CGM from what I can tell and also offer nutrition services - I know nothing about them - but there is good info here on Metabolic Flexibility and tracking glucose levels

Local, to Kentucky, Races and Events
(If you have a race in the area, including surrounding states, let me know and I will post about it)
Running groups are a great way to get to know people but also a great way to help you progress and get out and run. If you are in the Elizabethtown KY area check out the Running Soles Group and if you are closer to Campbellsville check out the Campbellsville Running Club. Have another local running group in KY let me know and I will list it.
