Lung capacity is crucial for us runners, so increasing it should be an integral part of any training routine. I can’t emphasize this enough. Why should you care? Improving your lung capacity takes your breathing to the next level.  Once you’re breathing more efficiently, you’ll become a better and stronger runner. 1. Start Slow Getting winded while running doesn’t necessarily mean that there’s a problem with your technique or the way you’re breathing: it’s more likely a problem with your conditioning. When you exercise, you’re placing your body under a lot of stress, and your muscles demand more oxygen. The more you ask of your muscles, the more oxygen they need. So, how do you take things slow? Quite simple. When you’re running, maintain a conversational pace. This means you should be able to speak in full sentences without gasping. After you’ve gotten to that level of conditioning, work your way up to more challenging runs and distances. Con...

Men and women think differently. And they display their love in different ways. Couples who stay together for decades have certain habits in common. Many women complain their man was a nice person at the start but now he is a complete jerk. Generally, women tend to be more sensitive and accommodating – two areas that hinder many males. That said, men do exhibit a common set of behaviors that demonstrate their love for a woman. 1. HE LOVES HOW YOU LOOK ON YOUR WORST DAYS Remember how much effort we put into looking our best during those early dates? Of course. All of us want to look and feel good when meeting up with a potential partner. Then there’s the actual relationship. As we spend more time with each other, comfort levels build, and our need to impress declines sharply. We’re free to wander around in our pajamas, stain our shirts, and forgo the hair gel. 2.

Make sure your shoes are in good condition and are designed for your unique foot and stride profile. If you’ve never been fitted for shoes, go to a ru...
