TRAINER TIP

“Many long-distance runners in training run longer than necessary. Try running intervals of shorter distances – maybe less than a mile – rest, and then repeat. Run/walk training is quite effective for many, as well as yoga for running performance. Everyone needs yoga, and yoga is for everyone – not just flexible people.”

Favorite Exercise: Yoga

“It is an activity that helps me feel good and also helps me focus better.”
