Running

There are two types of running:
 * Aerobic, endurance training.
 * Anaerobic, sprinting.

These two types or running require very different types of training:

Endurance Training
Muscles need to convert glucose into energy quickly and effectively a long period of time.

Sprint Training
Sprinting requires the body's muscles to ferment, transforming glucose into energy and lactic acid without the supply of oxygen.

Training Advice

 * Example 1: If you are training and you feel like you can’t run anymore, just keep running. It doesn’t matter at what speed, just don’t start walking. Once you start walking it is SO HARD to start running again, so just don’t do it.


 * Example 2: If you feel like you can’t run anymore, decrease your speed until you feel comfortable with it. You will see that after a few minutes you will come back to breath and your speed will increase automatically.


 * Example 3: If you aren’t able to run for three miles straight, you can implement this advice later on, when your shape has improved.


 * Example 4: Motivation helps a lot when you 'feel' like you can’t run anymore, but it is a bad advice when you break your leg ;) You understand what I mean. Don’t force anything, if you think it’s unhealthy to continue running, then simply stop.
