With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

On a whim, we both signed up for the rock and roll 1/2 marathon in va beach. It's coming up, and she has never ran over 5 miles in her entire life. This was 4 months ago, and the most recent run was only 2 miles. Well she just ran 7 miles last night and sprinted the last lap which tells me she had another mile or two in her easy to say the least. All I can say to all the runners out there that are bored of sprint training, that if you get a chance slow your pace and enjoy helping someone break their PRs. It's a great feeling being able to help someone see the unique experience of mind over body.
