http://www.asweatylife.com/2016/08/the-perfect-stride.html
Unpretentious Fitness Marriage Christianity. Sunday, August 7, 2016. I've been running on the treadmill for the last 3 months and it's killing me. My feet started hurting, so much so that I was only able to make it 1 single mile before having to jump off.

Strength training workouts from diaryofafitmommy.com. Only 2 weeks in and I...I gre...

Unpretentious Fitness Marriage Christianity. Sunday, May 29, 2016. I've noticed a two-fold phenomenon since I've moved to the desert. First, most of my runs have been slower. Second, when I've been able to run in cooler temperatures (like in San Diego) my pace for the same effort level is significantly faster. This is me running near the ocean in San Diego. I was rather easily doing a 7:15 mile/pace for 10k due to the cooler temperatures and benefits of heat training. This is why, for example, the Berlin...

Unpretentious Fitness Marriage Christianity. You're Running Too Fast. Friday, January 29, 2016. Yes, I'm talking to you! You are running too fast and you need to slow down!
