I found this article this morning on the side of my blog. Decided to read it and found it basic but interesting none the less. If you are interested in distance running or running in general, give it a read if you like.

    Great article...sooo true, I know a few of my friends that cant understand why the are perpetually injured...but the marathon takes time to build to and diving in without getting in the mileage is a disaster for injury. I know as the first marathon I ran i only trained for about 8 weeks...not enough time and ended up with a really bad soleus injury.

    thanks for sharing!!
