  1. Run For Your Life: Steps you can take for a lifetime of running enjoyment Ryan M. Green, PhD, ATC Varsity Sports January 17, 2015 THE Louisiana Marathon

  2. “In running, it doesn't matter whether you come in first, in the middle of the pack or last. You can say, 'I have finished.' There is a lot of satisfaction in that.” -Fred Lebow, founder of the New York City Marathon

  3. Why do you run? • What keeps you motivated to run? • How do you overcome the challenges of the run?

  4. Health • Physical • Mental • Emotional • Nutritional

  5. Physical • Strength – train like an athlete • Mobility – distance running limits ROM • Proper movement patterns – bad running causes injury, not just running (Stanford, 2008) • Cardiovascular – Dave McGillivray

  6. “Mental will is a muscle that needs exercise, just like the muscles of the body.” -Lynn Jennings, 1992 U.S. Olympic medalist (10,000m) Mental

  7. Mental • Strong will – push through tough spots • Mental resolve - commit • Constantly reassess goals/life • Attitude – Dr. George Sheehan • Sleep – duh!

  8. Emotional • Variety • Play – “absorbing, apparently purposeless activity that provides enjoyment and a suspension of self-consciousness and sense of time.” • State of mind • Exerciser, competitor, enthusiast, socializer • It's a “PLAY” • Family involvement – a MUST • Balance – career should take 100% of performance, not life

  9. Nutrition • Food diary • Cleanse • Veggies • Good fats and seeds • MODERATION

  10. “Once you leave this tunnel your life will be changed forever.” -Joan Benoit Samuelson, first-ever women's Olympic marathon gold medalist, - words she said to herself when she was about to enter the Olympic stadium
