I just found out the secret to pain free running!
You might find it hard to believe that after all the years I've been
running it took me this long to find it, but it's true. Once you
know it, the secret is really quite simple: I'll write about in
detail in my next members' newsletter, so if you're interested in
pain free running this would be a great time to register (at
no cost). I promise I won't spam you or sell your e-mail address!
Meanwhile, there is other exciting news. They say ... Continue reading ...

Now that I'm back to running again, I find that I can
jog along quite happily and comfortably, but I'm REALLY slow! That's
OK, except that I'd like to enter for another race (maybe a 5K this
time), so I need to learn to run faster. This means working
some other types of runs into my program.

doing it.
Last Monday, I started out by walking 10 minutes,
jogging 10 minutes and walking another 10 minutes. This gave me a
chance to warm up slowly, get back into the feeling of m... Continue reading ...

 The contest is still on!In the members' newsletter last month, I announced a contest, and we already have some winners! While I was wasting away in Roatan (yes - I'm back now!), I thought it would be a great opportunity to get your views on what you would like to read from me. And, to make it more interesting for you, I've run a contest! The first ten people to respond get a free copy of my eBook " Your Half Training Schedule" (value $17.95). If you are not already signed up as a member, he... Continue reading ...

About Me
| Alan Jenkin |
| Huntsville, Tx |
A runner, undistinguished but persevering, I am more concerned with keeping fit and healthy than with setting records (even PRs).
So I plod on, enjoying the journey with not too much concern about the destination. But I must admit to getting excited when I run faster or longer than the previous time!
