How to do it

Setup

Shoes with life in them, a route or track, an easy warm-up jog.

Steps

  1. Run tall with quick, quiet steps under the hips.
  2. Keep most runs conversational; make the hard ones count.
  3. Log time and distance.

Common mistakes

Overstriding out front: the foot lands under you. Every run a race: easy days build the engine. Mileage jumping: add gently; legs adapt slower than lungs.

Breathing

Steady; conversational on easy days.
