5 Tweaks That Improve Your Run

kevinrunner — Thu, 06 Jun 2013 17:37:50 +0000

By Jeff Galloway • Runner’s World

Plenty of runners lock into a running routine and rarely change it. And that’s fine; just getting out the door can bestow a sense of accomplishment and boost your mood. But deviating from your standard practice can make you faster and stronger, and stoke your motivation.

When you start changing things up, it’s best to try one tweak at a time so you can see what works and what doesn’t before moving on.

The Ultimate Guide to Getting Stronger and Faster Than Ever

When You Run Easy

Do 4 to 8 30-second cadence drills over the course of your run. Count the number of times your right foot hits the ground; aim to increase that number. Take low, quick steps. These drills will increase your turnover, so you run more efficiently.

When You Run Hills

Try to sing a song. Climbing should never get so hard that you’re huffing and puffing and can’t talk (or sing). (Watch our video to learn the Right Way to Breathe While Running.)

When You Run Fast

Bring a friend. A buddy will boost your motivation and morale and help you push when it would be more comfortable to quit. Don’t compete with each other, but don’t let your pal off the hook, either—encourage each other to complete the day’s goals.

How to Find The Best Running Buddy for You

When You Run Long

Take more frequent walk breaks. If you currently do a ratio of one minute running and one minute walking, reduce it to 45 seconds of running, one minute walking. It will help you run farther, minimize soreness, and hasten your recovery.

When You Race

Make your first mile the slowest mile. Gradually increase the pace, but every five minutes or so, slow your speed for one minute so you stay strong to the finish.

CRRC remembers Boston 4/15/13

dustinrunner — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 18:06:35 +0000

Yesterday evening the CRRC held our normally scheduled group run from River Ranch. This group run was different from all the others in the past, due to the events that occured during the Boston Marathon on Monday. The group wore “Run for Boston 4/15/13″ bibs to remember people who were injuried or that were killed in the events at the Boston Marathon. This run was even more special with the appearance of our good friend and fellow runner, Chris Odinet. Chris ran in the Boston marathon on Monday and finished approximately 30 minutes before the bombings. He and other fellow Acadiana runners that were participating on that day are ok. The Daily Advetiser showed up to interview a few of the runners to write a article that was posted in todays paper. Visit the link below for the complete article from the Daily Advertiser.
