SPEED LIMIT

Thought for the Day


Never Run Faster Than You Can Run


Last week I ran outside. It was great. My daughter accompanied me on her bike and I covered 2.8 miles in 40 minutes. I felt good. Everything went well except the pain on the left side of my abdomen. My wife said that's because I drank two cups of tea before I ran.

Two days ago I was running late so I decided to run faster to cover more ground and get a full work out at the same time in 10 minutes. It was a wrong thing to do. I usually run at level 4 but I decided to start at level 6. after about 5 minute I was out of breath. My heart was hurting and I felt tired. Last week I ran over three miles and I felt fine but this time it was bad.

Lesson learned: I should know my speed limit and maintain that for a while. I believe I can run faster but for now I have decided not to run faster than my body can handle.
