I do not want to run a half marathon in an hour and a half, I do not want to be able to run longer distances and I do not want to have to follow a strict schedule to reach my goals. And even if I wanted to, it would not be possible to fit that info my life. The reality is that I, like so many other people, just want to run in such a way that it does not interfere with my daily commitments. I want to keep it fun and not let it turn into something else I have to do. During my run this morning, I was thinking about all the advice there is out there. Even though most of it is good, it is also often quite unrealistic and unpractical. That is why it is time to forget about schedules, challenges and must-dos. I present to you my 5 running tips for everyone in need of some realistic encouragement.
