Interval running: running intermittent parts of a single run alternating between a fast pace and a recovery pace

I consider myself the average runner. I have been running somewhat regularly for over 15 years now. Just over the past couple of years though has it really sunk in that to be a better runner [...]

During a run, you can’t concern yourself with the pace of other runners that you come across. You don’t know where they started or are going to finish.

My digital camera has some spots on the lens (from underwater use and some use in other austere environments) but you get the picture(s) nonetheless I had originally set out to take some pictures of the marathon yesterday.
