Bought the latest Runner’s World for the flight back. The most interesting read was a collection of aphorisms from well-known American runners. Frank Shorter states that you should “\u009dtrust your instincts”\u009d: “\u009dThese days, science often just validates what elite athletes have done intuitively.”\u009d Other liners I liked were “\u009dI run the way I feel”\u009d, “\u009dLove what you do”\u009d and “\u009dI think there are more than a few runners who would benefit from less time on the Internet and more time on the track.”\u009d Information overload is not cool. Runner’s World is filled with images, feelings. A history-article notes that just a two decades ago everyone just counted miles and minutes. You were a winner, or nothing. Now you ask yourself first, how does it feel. That said, the basic method remains the same. According to Shorter “\u009dThere’s no substitute for hard training.”\u009d<\/p>\n
Then I got it: running is Jedi-stuff! Trust you feelings, Luke. That’s about everything you can say about the whole subject. Instead of a heart rate monitor, I’m going to buy a new ipod nano (after the next refreshment) with Nike’s toy-pack. Activate my senses. Dream new images.<\/p>\n
This is my philosophy of running.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
