Stick with what works...

It seems every month, there's at least one new and improved training program to read about in running magazines and journals. For those just starting out, deciding on a training plan can be a workout in itself.

Here's a bit of advice - pick a program, try it, and if it works for you, stick with it; most importantly, though, from that day forward, assume every new article you read or advice you hear from fellow runners is wrong and will never work for you. Ignore me and you'll spend more time fiddling and fussing and less time training.

And don't forget if you want to run longer, you have to run longer.
