I ran with Hale and we also tried this method, it was effective.

When we talked about some topics, such as tiredness, strain, feet blister and annoyed matters. Some people may think that exercise must be boring and toilsome. But situation may not always like this. But because you have an objective in your heart, the hard work can be endurable and fascinating. Run less if your tiredness exceeds your pleasure. In any case, we run mainly for pleasure, but not to find bitter.

One way to increase exercise fun is to find a friend to run with you. You will not put your mind to the uncomfortable situation, and half of the time will go faster. Another approach to run is to change the running patterns. Maybe you can ignore how far you run and put more time on it. Sometimes I run out with a watch, go where I want to go and find a new place. If I felt that I ran a mile with about eight minutes, I would regard one hour as seven miles and a half. Maybe I was wrong, but a few hundred yards did not have many differences.

I do not like running, but some people seems to be more tired than I do. They take the transistor radio or that kind of funny headphones, which will make them, look like Mickey Mouse. If you need to listen to Bach's music or Rangers' tune to finish an exercise, then you have to bring your radio. In the marathon race, I even saw some runners carried something. However, most people will soon find that running itself is a funny thing.

After a few months' earnest training, you will find a little easier to run. For the same distance, your running time can be cut down. You can surpass your rivals if you participate in a match. Under this circumstance, you are subject to be inspired and can not be able to stop exercising. This is what you have to pay attention to. As you may exercise too little, you can always exercise too much. As we pointed out before, after a painstaking exercise, it takes time to recover from fatigue. The stage of resting is an essential part in exercising activities.

Supposing that you are an old runner, the two following factors can bound you. They are your running distance and your exercising amount. As Corbett said, a middle aged marathon athlete has to run nine or ten miles everyday if he wants to run as much as a young runner run. If he wants to get a good result, he needs to run more. But he can only run two miles each day if he only participates in a competition about five or six miles once in a while. As we pointed out before, a lot of runners had no interests in a competition. To these people, you can be healthy and pleasant as well if you run eight or ten miles everyday.

Although old runners may run as far as young runners. But except few exceptions; their speed is not as fast as young runners. Of course, the reason is that their body condition is slowing down gradually. Numerous scientific studies show that when we grow old, our muscle strength, coordination, the maximum cardiac rate and oxygen consumption will all reduce. It is also the same when we accommodate to heat.
