Keeping a log or a blog I think at one time or another I have used all of the following techniques to keep myself running on the road. One of the first techniques is to start with a goal in mind. Perhaps it s a specific time in a 5K or even a marathon. For me i t has usually just been the idea of keeping healthy. Some people really get into the documentation aspect by using a training log to keep track of the miles, times, weather conditions, and even how you are feeling before and after the run. This can be a great motivator when you look back to all you have accomplished. The log can also help you prepare for the next event and help you compare times in younger years. Some runners find it helpful to use someone else s log. It seems easy at the start that if you want to run a specific time in a marathon then you should just follow the training log of an athletes who has met the goal you desire. Unfortunately I always forget to ask for the same DNA of that world class athlete first. In any case looking at their training log can give you a good idea of how to ramp up, schedule rest periods or when to taper. Another technique to record your activities is to just keep a narrative blog where you can record every detail of the training. One of my favorite techniques is to hang around with people who have done the event you are training for and train with them. Not only do you pick up pointers on a daily basis, but they can motivate you on your more lethargic days. The Runners inner voice I am not sure how others keep going on some of those more arduous runs. I have never been one to listen to music, I guess I was always worried about not hearing an approaching or getting distracted and tripping when I threw in a dance move to a Samba beat. I have been more of the thinker dreamer type, looking for a chance to clear my head. In marathons I would often play mind games by telling myself that I have just 15 miles to go and that s only 3 fun runs. After all, I can always finish the fun run at Grupe park, no matter how I felt when I started. My second strategy is one I learned years ago, and that is to take the emotion out of the task by telling yourself that you are a robot. The robot must continue until the task is completed. The robot does not feel pain. (The robot must finish writing the Sundance newsletter so that Larry can put it together and send it out) Rewards The classic motivator is the reward. You can promise yourself a treat if you meet a certain target (please see THE PREZ page 2)

2 THE PREZ time. You can remind yourself how good you will feel knowing that you are that much closer to reaching your goal. You can remind yourself how great it will feel to lets others know how special you are and that you are now better than them. One of my best motivators as I mentioned before is the intellectual realization that by exercising and with higher intensity the following health benefits are gained: Lower incidence of heart attack and stroke, lower incidence of many cancers, controlled blood pressure through stress relief, decreased incidence of diabetes, and most importantly a better quality of life. A few more reminders -Don t forget to keep your goal prominent. Go ahead and post it on the mirror when you get up in the morning. (even if you don t meet your goal, you will not seem like such a loser to your spouse) -Celebrate your success once you have achieved your goal. Better yet, celebrate with your friends. - Don t forget to have fun out there.

5 When a Workout is Going Badly Should you cut it short or gut it out? By Mario Fraioli As featured in the Web Only issue of Running Times Magazine Third mile, 6:11. Two more gut-wrenching repeats remain and you re already 11 seconds off goal pace for the workout. Not to mention it s getting dark, you re tired and you can think of at least half a dozen less strenuous things you could be doing right now. The moment of truth has arrived: solider on and finish all five of your assigned intervals or throw up the white flag and surrender the workout? It s a question with no easy answer, regardless of your competitive goals. Effort matters more than times, says Bob Hodge, third-place finisher at the 1979 Boston Marathon. One needs to get to the point where they can judge the proper effort for a session. Times will follow. Randy Ashley, staff coach at ZAP Fitness in Blowing Rock, NC, couldn t agree more. When working with athletes, Ashley emphasizes the importance of hitting a certain effort level over trying to target specific times for a given workout. I don t give the athletes I coach a time to hit, but rather an effort level to hit, says Ashley. For example, if I m training someone for the mile and we re doing eight to ten 400 [meter] repeats, I want them running at 92 percent effort, not necessarily 75- second pace. As a coach, you don t want to force it if someone s not on. OK, back to the workout. You re very obviously not on tonight, but you re already more than halfway through the scheduled session. You tell yourself if you quit now you ll only quit when it counts. When the going gets tough the tough get going, right? Not necessarily, says Hodge. If a session is going badly, most times it will pay to cut it short and save it for another day. No sweat, no worries. For many runners that advice can be a tough pill to swallow, but just because the medicine isn t tasting good doesn t mean it s not the right prescription. More often than not, scrapping a session completely or even just delaying it a day can be just what the doctor ordered, especially if you re tired, stressed or otherwise out of sorts. One workout isn t going to make a difference, counsels Hodge. It s just a workout. No one workout is as important as your overall consistency. Ashley encourages his athletes to always look at the big picture. If a session starts going south, there s no shame in stopping early. You want the mission to be accomplished with the overall goal always in mind, says Ashley. I d rather not see an athlete banging his or her head against the wall to hit splits during a workout, but I d rather see them start it over again a day or two later feeling fresh. But if you must keep on keeping on, or the conditions just won t allow you to run as fast as you d like on a given day, there s nothing wrong with adjusting the length of your intervals to accomplish the main mission of the workout. If those last two miles seem like they re going to make a long night even longer, perhaps four 800s at the same pace will allow the time pass by a little more quickly. There s nothing wrong with adjusting a workout on the fly to get in the same volume at the same effort level, says Ashley. If you re doing 6 x 1K and it s windy on the track, 10 x 600 is still a really good workout. And remember, in the end it s just a workout. Whether you soldier through it, scrap it, delay it or adjust it, when a session starts going south, there s no right or wrong answer, but plenty of intelligent options.
