Let us know your plan.

Every year, on the first Wednesday in June, something quietly brilliant happens. Millions of people across the world, of different ages, different paces, and different reasons, all do the same thing. They lace up and run. Not for a medal. Not for a PB. Just because running is worth celebrating. That's Global Running Day. And this year, we think it might be your day too. ‍ What is Global Running Day? Global Running Day is an annual celebration of running in all its forms. It doesn't matter if you're a seasoned marathoner or going for some fresh air and a run/walk. Today, we are all the same - runners. It's not a competition. There's no sign-up, no entry fee, no timing chip. It's simply a global reminder that running belongs to everyone. Fast, slow, structured, spontaneous, all of it counts. Why running deserves its own day Think about what running actually does for people. It clears your head after a brutal week. It gives you a goal when life feels directionless. It builds confidence in a way that's hard to explain until you've experienced it. It's the thing you do at 6am when the world is quiet and it feels like the hour belongs entirely to you. Running is a sport, yes. But it's also a coping mechanism, a social life, a meditation, a reset button. That's why it deserves a day. Because the impact running has on people's lives goes way beyond fitness. ‍ Every kind of runner has a seat at this table Here's something the running world gets beautifully right: it has room for everyone. The person running their twentieth marathon and the person attempting their first 5K are equally welcome at the start line. The runner who cried somewhere around mile eight and the runner who made it look effortless are both just... runners. Global Running Day celebrates all of it. The hard runs and the easy ones. The runs you're proud of and the ones you'd rather forget. The runs you did for your body and the ones you did for your mind. If you've ever put one foot in front of the other and kept going when it got hard - today is for you.

Re reading your book is helping me keep on track. I might try lowering my MAF HR after listening to Phil Maffetone YouTube.

Just posted a new YouTube video giving my take. Click this link to watch: https://youtu.be/VrJz_5Mp34E?si=zF1sw4d7TnvCuM_Q
