The Efficient Runner

@stevemagness @FixYourRun lucky to “sit” with you every Wednesday!

Research has found that sitting close to a high performer improved performance by 15%. Sitting close to a low performer decreased performance by 30%. Surround yourself wisely!

@stevemagness I am the opposite and wish I had the confidence that would allow me to think that I know just as much or more than the next person. I am always open to learning from other running coaches. It’s how I’ve gotten better as both a coach and as a runner.

There are a few jobs that my hat goes off to, because no matter how knowledgeable you are, everyone thinks they know more. Jobs like teachers, coach, and dieticians come to mind. Everyone is an expert. Because they are often blind to their ignorance.

@Philly_Marathon So excited! It’ll be my first marathon.

How's everyone feeling? The Philadelphia Marathon Weekend begins in just about 1 week! Make sure to get some good rest, eat well, and get your mind in the zone. It's a mental challenge from here out, just trust your training & preparation! #PhillyMarathon

Sub 5:30 mile

My hope: A big trend in fitness will be more emphasis on mental illness and mental health. More world-class athletes and coaches will come forward and share their stories, an unambiguously good thing. We are not a mind and a body. We are a mind-body system.outsideonline.com/2419974/bigges…

Here we go Monday! #mondaymotivation #motivationmonday

the best way to relive a dream is to dream again

In order to get the most out of yourself, you have to first get out of your own way.

We are OPEN with OUTDOOR DINING available! Seating and high top tables are available on Filbert St. on a first come, first served basis. Grab your favorite Market meal and enjoy. @MollyMalloysRTM and @DownHomeDiner also offer outdoor dining for their customers.

Happy Chanukah!

Knowing when to back off and take a complete day off, or even more, is one of the secrets of success. The training log we all keep would be more of a hindrance than a help if it pushed us to run extra miles. When in doubt, listen to your body.

Training Tip Tuesday: TAKE IT EASY ON THE EASY RUNS! I used to roll my eyes at this. It’s fun to pound the pavement, stomping on emotion and passing people on the trail, but it’s not fun to get hurt...it’s not fun to jeopardize your training.

Thank you @byJenAMiller for your beautiful writing on the disappointment of missed races: “I’m allowed to be disappointed — and you are too — when these things happen because it’s disruption on top of a year of setbacks, bad news, frustration and grief.” @nytimeswell

Exercise can be a walk around the block, a quick plank session, or even just a few minutes of foam rolling. Whatever it is, get it done! Don’t wait until Monday. #fitnessfriday #runningcoach #run #running #runningmotivation #momswhorun #runner #runningismytherapy #fitness

@bcgp @thephillyvoice I do all of my running there! Love it!
