The Best Running Advice I Ever Received
I really never had any running talent at all. Didn't even make it to Districts in my Junior year. But something clicked that season that gave me enough of something to eventually walk on at Penn State and letter my first year of Cross Country. And continue on for 3 more years on a team in the "Final Four".
I joined the York Road Runners Club and hung around some older runners just out of college. The encouragement and knowledge gave me a bit of a surge.
But the real improvement came from one simple "trick" which was given to me by a member of the club.
So I started running at 6:00am nearly every day, 3 miles on M/W/F and 5 miles on T/Th. That made all the difference in the world.
