Fdip327: Exploratory Running

Published: May 21, 2015, 4 a.m.

Most runners could go out, right now and run a few miles under the morning sun.\xa0 We often do so without considering the power of the act. We take for granted the incredible advantage this gives us as situations arise which requires it.\xa0 We forget that running can sometimes be a means to an end and that aside from it\u2019s impressive list of benefits, running and self ambulation gives us the means to explore.\n\xa0\nTraining is important and I\u2019m not suggesting that we abandon our training\u2026I\u2019m just putting the idea out there that as runners we have a gift of motion that does not limit us to the road, or trail\u2026it doesn\u2019t require a certain pace or time for completion.\xa0 I\u2019m proposing, that instead of punishing ourselves with devotion to a schedule\u2026no matter how much we love adhering to said schedule\u2026that we should instead look at our running as \u201cplaytime\u201d.\n\xa0\nLinks:\n\xa0\nIntervals between episodes and the complete conversation with Coach Jeff can be heard over at \n\xa0\nMelodious advice by Neil on Twitter @neilbearse\xa0\n\xa0\nBoth opening and closing themes songs were by Jim Fidler at \n\u201cThe Curra Road\u201d was composed by Ger Wolfe at \n\xa0\nThe song \u201cLost and Found\u201d was by the band Eve 6, from Southern California.\xa0 Check out all of their music over at http://www.eve6.com\n\xa0\nIntervals between episodes can be found at \n\xa0\nIn Vino Veritas with at \n\xa0\nTrack my return to the road at and .\n\xa0\nONLY IF YOU LIKE IT: Phedippidations is supported monthly through the kind financial support of fellow runners who clicked on the ONLY IF YOU LIKE IT button at SteveRunner.com to subscribe to Amazon Payments or Paypal to send me a dollar a month for my podcasting efforts.\xa0 \xa0\n\xa0\nThank you:\n\xa0\nVera, Katie, Ryan, Chaise, Gordon, Scott, Mike, Jeff, Colin, Jason, Diane, Cheryl, Ron, Mark, Martha, Greg, Jim, Tim, Bill, David, Doug, Vance, Marcelo, Roberto, Zaki, Norm, Simon, Janice, Andrew, Pam, Rob, Trey, Steve, Angie, Lynn, Nancy, Eric, Jim, Joe, Martin, Rich, Tom, David, Pierre, Andrea, Brad, Dave, Desiree, Jens, Claudia, Jill, Elizabeth, Pat, Marc, Chris, Dino, Michael, Clay, George, Matthew, Terence, Tom, Louis, Toni, Margaret, Janina, Joe, Fred, Joerg, Erik, Wendee, Evelyn, Nicolas, John and Christiane.\n\xa0\n{}\n\xa0\nFollow me on:\nBlog: \nStream: \xa0\nApple App: \xa0\nAndroid App: \xa0\nSupport: \nHealth: \nRunning: RunKeeper.SteveRunner.com\n\xa0\nVideo: YouTube.SteveRunner.com
