    oooh and another tip is make sure to eat right before and after the run...and drink lots of water. A lot of it is mental so push through! When training don't just do long endurance runs, try sprint training in between distance runs. I agree with Matt - it's all worth it in the end!

    Great point with the eating! That would actually be a great post to go into detail with.

    I actually had sprint training in as #4 at first, but decided on putting resistance training instead. Either way, 100% correct!

    Next post will be on heart rate monitoring for you :D
