The Super-Secret Miracle to Getting Better…
Filed under cross training, motivation, running, tips, training
Hello! My name is Cait, I'm a freelance writer and artist who is more than a little obsessed with running. The Arty Runnerchick is dedicated to connecting with other runners and those sweat obsessed through words and art!
So there’s not some magic pill you speedy runners take to make you go so fast? Bummer. Ha! As a newish runner, this is good news for me…I’m not naturally fast by any means, but if consistency is what it takes–I can do that!
u have been rocking that training, vanessa! u keep it up, and like i said the more u stay at it and keep doing wat u’re doing the better u will become. trust me, the times will come with workouts, but in addition to that u need that ‘base’ of cardio and that comes from the easy days/cross training/long runs! after ur 20 miler u also need to remember the other important factor: recovery! read as: veg out and pig out.
the secret to achieving most things in live take a lot more work than the “secret shortcuts” we are initially looking for… but the pay off is that much greater!
amen sister!!
