The most important item of equipment owned by any runner is a pair of running shoes. Well-fitting shoes are essential for success, particularly in longer runs and races. A poor fit can lead not only to blisters, but also to injuries. Select your shoes carefully. #RunWithHal
Stretching is important for runners, who risk losing flexibility because of their high-mileage training. Include some stretching in your daily running routine. The best time to stretch is not before you run. Instead, stretch during--or after--when muscles are warmest. #runwithhal
Signs of overtraining include chronically sore muscles, general fatigue, inability to sleep or eat and elevated resting pulse. Program rest without guilt. #RunWithHal
It’s known as tempting the gods: Sometimes you need to disregard my advice and that of others and be willing to fail to see just how good you can become. #runwithhal
Good luck to everybody running the #BostonMarathon today. May today’s race be a celebration of all the hard work it took to get there!
Running 26.2 is all in the mind. Although in the last few miles it can be all in the muscles. #runwithhal
Don't be so tied to any training program, including mine, so that you fail to improvise from time to time. #runwithhal
Many obedient runners often follow training schedules so rigidly that any missed workout results in tremendous angst. Relax everybody. Have confidence in your own ability. You can achieve any reasonable goal you set. #runwithhal
I beat Spyridon’s time on the course by 10 minutes, but roads are faster today.

Do you keep a training log? Do you know what allows you to run fast? Knowledge is a powerful tool if you want to improve as a runner. #runwithhal
If you want to achieve peak performance, you eventually may need to embrace speedwork. You can't run fast unless you run fast. #runwithhal
Prepare for surprises; that way you never can be surprised. #runwithhal
Fast or slow, we all eventually find what we do best, or maybe we find what we enjoy doing best. #runwithhal
Planning is where time and goal intersect. If you have a period of time in which to achieve a goal, you can plan accordingly and succeed. #runwithhal

Employ variety in your cross-training. You don't need to train the same every week. In fact, you don't need to confine yourself to a single cross-training exercise in any one workout. Combining a bike ride with a swim in the pool would be one option. #RunWithHal
Massage can relax you before a workout--or race. It can help heal muscles after that same workout--or race. Besides, massages feel good. But avoid too-deep massages before race day. #RunWithHal

Running with a partner or a training group can make running more enjoyable. You tap into the group support you will get from others of equal ability, or lack of that ability. The danger is that a group may cause you to run too slow or, more the problem, too fast. #RunWithHal

Stubbornness can cause troubles. But it is stubbornness that pushes us out the door each day into an activity that provides fun and good health. #RunWithHal
Running with a partner or a training group can make running more enjoyable. You tap into the group support you will get from others of equal ability, or lack of that ability. The danger is that a group may cause you to run too slow or, more the problem, too fast. #RunWithHal

"A Slow Marathon in the Rain." Sounds like a great book title!
@higdonmarathon But what if you're running a slow marathon in the rain?

@higdonmarathon But what if you're running a slow marathon in the rain?
@higdonmarathon I joined a running club. In never ended up doing a group run before I quit. In a group I feel more competitive and feel either good or (usually) bad about where my running is. It is my problem, but it takes away from the relaxation I get from running.
@higdonmarathon Training in a group of similar ability was one of the cornerstones of UKs success at distance running in the 60/70/80s
@higdonmarathon I always ran by myself in training and loved it.
Good advice. It could be too fast or too slow

@higdonmarathon Almost all of my deep tissue massages come the day after a long distance (26.2+) race. Sometimes I get tightness in my muscles and I'll have an extra massage to get rid of that tightness.

Back to bed? Why has no one told me this before? Class
Get up 3-4 hours before the race start. Grab some quick carbs. Even toast or sweet rolls will help. Then go back to bed for another hour or two's rest. Practice this routine in training. #CarboLoadWithHal
@higdonmarathon love your app mate. Feeling fitter than ever thanks to your programs 💪🏻 Question - races are typically first thing in the morning making impossible for me to avoid needing a bio break 💩 during the race. Any suggestions?
The most important item of equipment owned by any runner is a pair of running shoes. Well-fitting shoes are essential for success. #RunWithHal
Don't overdress. It's best to be a bit cold at the start of a run so you don't get too warm by the end of it. #RunWithHal
2-3 strength sessions a week, the strength coaches might telll you. But during the taper I would suggest close to zero.
@higdonmarathon for the first time in my marathoning “career,” I’ve finally incorporated regular strength training into my schedule. How much strength training do you recommend during the taper period?🤔
The irony Hal @higdonmarathon is that you use a picture from era when runners believed the ideal athletic diet was high in protein not in carbs. I confirmed this with the late Ron Clarke who was one of the standout athletes of that era. Excess carbs = long term problems for some
Training too hard can drain energy. Even though you get through your daily workouts, you may feel fatigued both before and after workouts. Choose a sensible training program, eat a diet rich in carbohydrates, and get to bed early each night. Do things right. #RunWithHal
