The Running Man

getting the most out of you running program - then I suggest to you keeping a running log/journal. Keeping a personal journal of your runs helps you track your progress, avoid past drawbacks and even inspire you to tackle new accomplishments. Serious runners leave out no detail of their runs, no wonder they can perform on such a high level. This high level performance comes out from the deeper understanding of which conditions fuel their performance in the first place - running journal is key…

Frozen in fear, I stared at the deadly serpent for a moment. As it slithered into pouncing position, I rapidly spun myself 180 degrees and sprinted toward safety. Running faster than I ever had before, I swiftly cut in and out of trees until I found my way back to the trail and saw my dad. My brother and sister, unaware of the snake, asked why I sprinted back to the path. Breathing heavily and secreting loads of…

hayduke hess When jenny pointed out the trees we knew there must be water. So we started running as fast as we possibly could in the heat to get there but every step brought excruciating pain to our feet. The ground was flaming hot it burned my feet so bad. When we got there to the trees the ground felt so good and cold in the shade. I saw three big white blobs in the middle of the forest but as soon as we got to them I noticed they were camping trailers with red stripes and…

a roller coaster, my nerves were slightly calmed by the presence of Tyler and Alex, the other seventh grade boys on the team. Before this, the only running I had done was for PE. Even though I should have done more, my preparation over the summer consisted of only one run. I was a relatively good runner, but I hadn’t practiced at all, and my running would reflect on that. The next week, when our practice began, I was back in her room. Sitting in the last row again, I watched as my unfamiliar…

strategies so that their goals can be successfully accomplished. Sport nutrition for marathon runners will be considered for the entire year to include eating the most nutritious and organic food available and affordable. The time of day for running will be in the morning hours, if possible, to reflect the time of day for the marathon on 31 Dec and the Boston Marathon. This will be particularly important during the last month of the competition cycle. The athlete will try to run in…

greatest talent would be that i can run really fast. On many occasions i have ran faster than even star athletes in track i may not be able to run for long at full speed but at the speed i go it's amazing i don't wobble and fall down. I really like running it makes me feel unstoppable. One time when i was in 8th grade we were doing relay races and my team always one not just because of me of course but i had a huge hand in our wins. I haven't raced anyone in quite some time maybe about a year…

Boom! The bullet shot through the air. My legs automatically bolted forward to the sound. It was the start of the 800 meter run, my favorite. While I was running I looked behind to see Lily, my best friend, a few feet behind me. She was a exceptional runner, just not a great sprinter. The second I turned back around, I heard a laugh and a fall to the ground. It sounded as if boxer threw his opponent against the ring. I spun around just in time to find Sarah sprinting past Lily, who was…

“What’s this?” I gander at the intricate indentations of the tinfoil-wrapped cylinder. My dad took me to the Edison Laboratory in West Orange to expand on my knowledge and interest on technology and engineering. All the inventions made me question my capabilities of constructing a beautiful masterpiece, so I begged my dad if we can build something. My dad agreed and took me to a store. When we arrived, I ran into the store and started searching for something I can get. Finally, I hit my jackpot…

force them back. We both mouth to each other at the same time. ‘I’m sorry’ I turn and ran to the door and quickly unlock it before running out of the house. I hear running behind me and force myself to go faster. After running for a little bit I duck into an alley and pull out my stele and drew a Heightened Speed rune on the inside of my arm before I took off running again. I ran all the way from my neighborhood to the New York Institute. When I got in front of the Institute I didn’t…

It’s late afternoon, the hot sun of May is beating down, and the screams and shouts of the crowd surrounds you. The ground underfoot is springy and fresh, spikes cutting into it with ease. Your heart races in anticipation for what is to come. All you can see is straight down the lane, right at the finish line. The whistle blows and your heart stops and you think, how did I get here? It started three years ago. I entered middle school full of excitement and enthusiasm for just this moment.…
