Breaking Bad…Running Habits

Back in 2001 I ran in two marathons for the Leukemia Society. I finished both events but they took their toll on my body. By the time I was done I absolutely hated running.

I swore I would NEVER run again. And I didn’t until about a year or so ago when Amy introduced us to Newton Natural Running. I was very skeptical about this whole natural running thing but because I have the utmost faith in Amy when it comes to my fitness I was willing to give it a try.

What a difference running the natural and correct way can make!  Amy spent a lot of time teaching us the correct form and technique of running.

I had a lot of bad habits that I had to break – can anyone say heal strikes – but with Amy’s expertise, knowledge and patience I learned to recognize and change those bad habits.

Now I run 2–3 times a week and run a minimum distance of 6 miles. The best thing is that I don’t hurt or ache when I’m done, like I did before. That’s the beauty of learning how to run correctly.

I’m not a fast runner but by learning how to run I have significantly improved my pace/time. I am happy to say that today I am a natural runner, and I absolutely LOVE it!

I encourage you to come out and give it try. Amy is an awesome coach and I bet you will be hooked too.
