The Challenge of Shorter Days As autumn arrives, so do shorter daylight hours. For many walkers and runners, this means that exercise routines often shift into the early morning or evening when it is still dark outside.

Many runners assume that running a downhill race is easier than running a hilly (or even flat race). And you may end up running faster than you would on another course!

When I first started running 20+ years ago, my pre-run routine included nothing more than getting dressed and lacing up my shoes. No hydration, no food, no warm up.

I am inundated with health and fitness advice daily. I’m sure you are, too, and just like you, I need to apply a careful filter to what I pay attention to and what I ignore.

Running is one of those things that most people either love or hate. Usually, the two camps are divided by one factor — skill. The group of people who love running tend to have run earlier in life and picked up some skill at it. Like with many things, those who develop a particular physical skill early will often have a seemingly “natural” ability at it later, even if they don’t perform that task often.… The post The Walk/Run Program 2.0: Run for 60 Minutes Straight in 13 Weeks appe...| Whole Life Challenge
