Week 3 | Derailment Does Not Mean Failure

Greetings Be Change Runners!

As we enter week 3 a few questions/concerns have come our way. Let's address them!

BREATHING REVIEW:

Runners, as we talked on Saturday, we instructed you all to run at a pace that you can control your breathing. We do not want to run so fast or so hard that our breathing controls us. So to help you, think rhythm and cadence. Think patterns of breathing. A rhythm in your breathing could mean that you choose to breathe in on your right foot and breathe out on your left foot. If that is too much oxygen, experiment with every other stride. Remember, running is an "inhale through your nose, exhale through your mouth exchange."

"Whether you believe you can or believe you can't, you're probably right."

-Henry Ford

Derailment does not equal failure. Let me say that again... Derailment does NOT equal failure. So you started out your first week and got all your runs in, motivated and ready to go the distance and then BAM! Week two, life got in the way and you missed a run or maybe even two. First off, do not beat yourself up and do not get discouraged. Lace up your shoes and get back on schedule. Life is busy and we know this but what we also know is that if you want this, you CAN make the time. Whether you have to get out of bed an hour earlier or set the DVR to record your favorite show, make the time! You can do this!


"If you want to become a runner, start now. Don't spend the rest of your life wondering if you can do it."

-Priscilla Welch

Is it too late to start training? NO! Get started today! You CAN do this. Don't waste another day wondering if you should or if you can. The answer to both of those is YES! Jump right into the training, even if you cannot run your miles and need to walk. No problem, just get the miles in!
