We just came back from 4 days of running, cheering and meeting with friends in Chicago. The marathon weekend was in full effect with many running activities.
We met up with the Ten Junk Miles podcast to eat the best deep-dish pizza in town and to record a group show. We had a long conversation about how Path Projects started, things we have learned in the past 2 years, upcoming products and much more. Episode link to follow next month.
With Scott Kummer, Holly Lindroth and Adam Benkers in the Ten Junk Miles studio.
After visiting the marathon expo, we went for a running tour of downtown Chicago. The rain and wind was coming down in full force and gave us a glimpse of fall running in the Midwest.
On Saturday morning, we set up a marathon shake out run with friends from Path Projects, Ten Junk Miles and Extramilest. Great to meet runners from all over the US, Canada, Australia and Europe. We ran by the water front and talked marathon training and racing strategies.
On Sunday we cheered on more than 40,000 marathoners at mile 24 on Michigan Ave. Very exciting to see the elite runners flying by so fast and smooth.
Incredible to watch Brigid Kosgei set a new women's world record in 2:14:04
Coach Morgan from The Run Experience hosted a 2 hour live web cast from mile 24, while everyone cheered on the runners.

Don’t start wearing barefoot shoes and running on your toes! It took me 5 months to figure out that I was getting shin splints from running like that.
Regularly perform hip muscle/gluteal strengthening.
Run your easy days easy! (not just less hard)
Run on feel. Since ditching the GPS, running has become more stress free & the distance just seems easier.
Keep a journal. Many times the thoughts that stop a run are part of a bigger concern in your mind. I find it helpful to get those thoughts and mental roadblocks out so they don’t become a residual problem on future runs.
My biggest piece of advice is don’t try to do too much too soon. Don’t go run a mile all out. Consistency is more important. Run, rest, run, rest and run. Keep the cycle going and you’ll see improvement!
Discipline and Delight. You need both to improve as a runner. If you don’t have discipline- you won’t be consistent and won’t grow. If you don’t enjoy it, your mental game will never be strong enough to want to get better!

Consistency and speed! It’s better to have consistent mileage at a slow(er) pace than to push yourself too hard too early. At the end of the day, enjoy yourself and find something comfortable to wear while running, like PATH Projects gear ;)
Start SLOWLY to get a solid running base of 20 miles per week. Should lower your injury risk.
S*%t happens (sometimes literally). When something goes wrong, learn from it, and then realize you’ll probably make the same mistake a few more times.
80% Slow – 20% Fast
Go read “Training for the Uphill Athlete” and get your aerobic threshold understood and then train to improve it.
The best way to improve your running is to find a group and run together regularly! Consistency breeds success and endurance.
Oh and some new gear from PATH projects won’t hurt!

Incorporate some sort of strength training during your training and off season.
Slow down to prevent injuries and improve your aerobic base.
