Wow it has been a while since I wrote here. Over a year. Life has been hectic, but I am back and will start blogging again.
Well what is new. I am still on my healthy journey. It has been over 3 years and I am maintaining nicely.
On February 14 I started Coaching a Learn to Run Clinic at my local Running Room. It is very motivating for me to help new runners start running. I remember as if it was only yesterday what it was like to start running, and even though I am not a fast runner, I very much enjoy the high one gets from running. I am hoping to incorporate that into each runner in my group.
The weather today was -21 (c) and my runners still braved the cold and came out and ran with me 8:30 this morning. I was very proud of them and it definitely shows their dedication to their new lifestyle.
Tomorrow I will be talking to my runners on how to breathe.
If you just starting out running you should remember these simply rules:
Train your breathing while running is through using a breathing ratio. For general distance running that does not involve speed, a 3:2 ratio may be used. For example, you should inhale for three steps, then exhale for the next two steps. However, if you speed up, a 2:1 ratio is best. This involves inhaling for two steps, then exhaling for one step. This may require several practice running sessions to become effective.
