When people say “glass half empty”, they usually mean something like a glass containing equal parts water and air: 7 Training Ideas That Changed My Running Forever. By Jason Fitzgerald (via) Over the last 13 years of competitive running in high school, college, and beyond, I’ve picked up certain training strategies that I’ve incorporated into my current training.
Some of these training principles are well-known while others are less common. Many of us know that we should do a long run every week but we don’t do it. Most of recognize that we should do some core and strength exercises every week, but a lot of us don’t. I don’t want you to read this article, say “that’s nice,” and go back to your game of Angry Birds. After you read this, I want you to make ONE positive change in your training. In typical Strength Running fashion, this post is long but packed with as much tactical information as I can provide.
Tying Your Shoes. During your next race, take time to observe how most runners do not tie their running shoes correctly.
This will cost valuable time; in a marathon this can be as much five to 10 minutes, or even more, depending on your overall time.

In his 1994 book Mouse Tales , former Disney employee David Koenig tells the story of a tourist group that requested a little extra time on the ride so they could hold a quick memorial for a 7-year-old boy.
