By that I mean building a base over a few months early in your "season" where you don't push yourself so hard that you can't hold a conversation. It feels lame when you're doing it, but really pays off when you start running faster.<BR/><BR/>Heart rate monitor co's and training software co's love to rant on this concept of building aerobic capacity. Here's a link --> http://www.pccoach.com/newsletters/Feb03/aeropigg.htm<BR/><BR/>I've also found swimming to be great with breathing control. But the best first step is to get out there and go slow!<BR/><BR/>- SDScott Dunlaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16096284778835123584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-1126211309216547532005-09-08T13:28:00.000-07:002005-09-08T13:28:00.000-07:00Scott,I just found your blog about a week or so ag...Scott,<BR/><BR/>I just found your blog about a week or so ago. I have to say GREAT JOB, and THANK YOU!<BR/><BR/>I love this article about the high altitude living being a "fountain of youth", if you will. Living in the Salt Lake Valley, surrounded by mountains, I'm very familar with running uphill! In fact, it seems everywhere is uphill!<BR/><BR/>Running up the canyons here on paved roads is great, but there's also a LOT of great trails for running and hiking on. And I gotta' say, running downhill is by far the most fun and fabulous thing ever!<BR/><BR/>MinaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-1126149479659864312005-09-07T20:17:00.000-07:002005-09-07T20:17:00.000-07:00That is a neat picture.

I have been running for a long time( I‘m a football player) but still have difficulty with my "wind" not lasting as long as I would want it too. What sort of exercise would you recommend for building my level up?Silashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05330460556104399463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-1126129653784068152005-09-07T14:47:00.000-07:002005-09-07T14:47:00.000-07:00Avik, that's an awesome picture!SDAvik, that's an awesome picture!<BR/><BR/>SDScott Dunlaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16096284778835123584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-1126129339350963142005-09-07T14:42:00.000-07:002005-09-07T14:42:00.000-07:00nice post.....keep it up....nice post.....keep it up....sauravhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16472041383367377154noreply@blogger.com
