As a runner, I get this weird happy feeling when I see other people running. Like… I don’t even know them, but I’m silently rooting for them. I can’t explain it.

Forefoot running enhances a specific stride parameter (stride angle) that helps reduce time spent braking, allowing more efficient accelerations & higher lactate thresholds vs heel strike running - runforefoot.com/forefoot-run… #run #running #runner #fit #fitness #FitnessGoals

From couch potato to ultramarathon runner. 10 years ago, my dad bod peaked...  I lived on junk food, beer, and Netflix. Today, I've logged over 11,000 miles. The only difference? I decided to lace up my shoes and go for a run. There's nothing special about me. You can do this too.

Walking during a run isn't weakness; it's a strategy. Elites stop for water – I take 60 seconds to reset. Same difference.

Your pre-run mood doesn't predict your performance. Some of my worst runs, I felt amazing at the start. Some of my best runs, I felt like garbage at the start. The lesson? Put on your shoes and go. You never know what might happen.

Better addicted to running than addicted to the couch. Change my mind.

I used to run a lot.  Then I stopped. I became fat, moody, and depressed.  Then I started running again. The lesson? Go for a run.
