The only thing I would add is that you can run a much longer distance than you think if you just keep putting one foot in front of the other.Suz and Allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15703593542540533784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25226414.post-72324449680813551322012-08-01T11:14:42.020-07:002012-08-01T11:14:42.020-07:00Ah... all lessons every runner learns!

I have been running for over 9 years now and just this year I have been experimenting with speed and I found out, I am fast (sometimes):) Speed work is key. I say undies for myself but underwear for my boys:) Love running with a buddy but hard to find sometimes. Texted a couple slower buddies this morning and no go. I will run with my son biking alongside me. Have a great day!Rachelle Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09617310026581589214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25226414.post-47235002568092248882012-07-31T09:59:56.669-07:002012-07-31T09:59:56.669-07:00I still struggle with the no walking.

I know what you mean about the bad undies, that is the worst when you're running with a wedgie or just feel uncomfortable! Ugh! <br /><br />I've learned a lot, mostly through bloggers! I've learned about fueling your body properly, I've learned that (for me) even a little bit of alcohol will hurt my run the next day, I've learned that running loops instead of out and backs works best for me... there's so many tiny details that are unique to each runner! It's been a great learning experience.Amber @ A Little Pink in the Cornfieldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06898255649481697297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25226414.post-3755641949866390172012-07-30T12:44:29.311-07:002012-07-30T12:44:29.311-07:00I'm a recent convert to the commando side...th...I'm a recent convert to the commando side...that's something I never dreamed I would do.

Also, the funniest thing ever to me now is when I see someone JOGGING IN PLACE at street lights. I just want to gently tell them that it's ok to take a break while waiting for the light to turn green.Nilsa @ SoMi Speakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474642034399063234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25226414.post-15720050324567680072012-07-30T05:47:12.491-07:002012-07-30T05:47:12.491-07:00Yep, the more you do it the more you learn what yo...Yep, the more you do it the more you learn what you like and what works for you.

I have learned many ...I call them underwear. :) <br /><br />I have learned many of the same lessons. I think the biggest lesson I've learned from joining running club is to mix it up and do something besides just banking miles! You need intervals and hills and speed work, etc, if you want to really improve upon your times. I've learned that I need to drink a sports drink, like gatorade, if I am running for longer than an hour. I've learned that fruit-based gu's make me sick but the chocolate ones are great (for me). <br /><br />And as you know, I run with a group. But I usually do one run by myself each week as well.Lisa from Lisa's Yarnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335500882510597919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25226414.post-30082527590258374572012-07-30T04:13:21.388-07:002012-07-30T04:13:21.388-07:00I call them undies...and yes they can make or brea...I call them undies...and yes they can make or break a run!! The first two points just yelled at me!! I started using the Jeff Galloway method when I found out I was pregnant. It took so long though to get over the walking guilt! The second was so me the last two years. I had held myself back for one reason or another. Once I let myself run fast....it was so freeing!fancy nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11645116527352135569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25226414.post-81006446951064411812012-07-30T03:21:49.231-07:002012-07-30T03:21:49.231-07:00good list! agree with all...especially the undies....good list! agree with all...especially the undies.
