Sunday July 23rd 2006 Pounding The Pavement

On the cover of a well known running magazine the headlines read ?train slower race faster?, plus ?run your best ever race?. This go-faster-with-less-effort theme seems common with many running/fitness related magazines, my question to these magazine is, if running fast is so simple why don?t we all have a sack full of gold medals from major championships?

Alright I know that they are aiming at the general public and their main concern is selling the mag, but I still feel it?s misleading. No matter what your sport, for you to make the best of your natural talent, no matter how big or small that may be, it will take commitment and hard work.
