Medical Disclaimer
The information in this book is meant to supplement, not replace, proper training. A sport involving speed, equipment, balance and environmental factors, and running, will involve some inherent risk. The authors and publisher advise readers to take full responsibility for their safety and know their limits. Before practicing the skills described in this book, be sure that your equipment is well maintained, and do not take risks beyond your level of experience, aptitude, training, and comfort level.
Why I Wrote This Book
Being a new runner myself, one of the toughest aspects of running long distances is the long run. Since I started writing over a year ago, I began receiving emails from my subscribers detailing their long run struggles as new runners. If you’ve read my other book, Beginner’s Guide to Half Marathons, you’ll know that I openly admitted that I had a total of three lousy runs and still went on to run a total of seven half marathons to date. All runners, especially new runners, will struggle with the long run from time to time.
When you read through this book it’s important to remember the reason why there is a weekly long run in every long-distance race training schedule. The main purpose of a two hour plus long-distance run is not necessarily about how far you go but how long you’re on your feet running. It’s not about speed, unless you are an elite runner. If you need to take a short walk break at the end of each mile of your long-distance run, then do it. It’s not cheating and it’s perfectly ok as a new runner. All the tips I share within this book I have personally used at least once to help motivate me on my long-distance runs. If you struggle with long runs from time to time, I hope these tips can help you as well.
Injuries & Medical Conditions
If you have sports related injuries, I highly suggest that you talk to a medical professional to determine if you are fit enough to run. Not seeking medical advice could further exacerbate an existing injury. I am not a legal or medical professional, nor am I offering any legal or medical advice. One last time, if you’re injured or have medical conditions that may prevent you from taking on a rigorous running training program, please seek the opinion of a licensed physician before participating in any physical training.
Assumptions
Before you dive into this book, I’m assuming the following:
You’ve been running for at least six months.
You run at least one long run a week.
You’re seeking motivation to get you through long runs.
