Most people have this perception that you have to be out there running for an hour and a half every day. But you don't have to give up your career and family to run a marathon.
More Quotes from Jeff Galloway:
If you run the same stride going up hill, you have to work harder. Studies have shown that as runners get faster, their stride length shortens. So quicker turnover is the key here. Paradoxically, a longer stride takes more energy, so you'll get into oxygen debt early.Jeff Galloway
As humans, we're designed to run about 20-22 miles and then you hit the wall. Taking walk breaks pushes that wall back so the marathon can be a pleasurable experience,
Jeff Galloway
Again, it is not a good idea to lengthen stride, but use a lighter touch and quicker turnover. You can go faster that way. You might increase your forward lean slightly that will increase your speed.
Jeff Galloway
Going uphill, you do have to compensate by running slower. Rather than checking your watch (on a hill), go for the same perceived effort as you ran on the flats. I find the best way to do this is to monitor your breathing. If you are breathing more heavily going up the hill, shorten your stride.

Some people have a particular race goal, but others are just doing it for lifestyle reasons and need someone to pat them on the back. That pretty instant response you can get on e-mail is quite effective.
