These are not commandments but observations. By knowing these pitfalls, we run with greater awareness.
The Cardinal Sin of the runner. Our running culture thrives increasingly on stupidity. True runners must learn to see through these tricks.
Empty posturing about times and distances. Real running requires no performance beyond the honest relationship between you and the ground.
Projecting your pace, your recovery needs, your training capacity onto someone whose body is probably far different than yours.
Don't lie to yourself about your fitness level, your readiness for that race, your recovery status.
Only fools follow the running herd blindly, letting impersonal trends dictate their training.
Never lose sight of who and what you are beyond your PRs and race times.
Be aware that this is how the running industry repackages old wisdom as revolutionary new methods.
Pride in your running is essential up to the point where it becomes your limitation.
An eye for beautiful, harmonious movement is an essential tool for the most transcendent running experience.
