Training & Nutrition Newsletter: January 2008
Improving the Running & Walking Experience - for you!

See past issues of this newsletter

I will be celebrating my 50th year of running, in 2008-and I enjoy running more than ever. I'm one of the growing number of runners who've continuously run for over 25 years with no significant joint problems. I know that you hear a lot of un-founded negative comments from non-runners about running. If you're looking for research showing that runners have better joint health than non runners, see Running Until You're 100. This is my current goal.

Running gave me the vitality and focus to change from a fat and lazy 13 year old. My daily run energizes me to help others change their life in a positive direction. I want to thank the thousands of you who have emailed or told me your success stories, questions and problems. You have provided me with the proof of the methods.

New running movies are listed in this newsletter, a job opportunity at Galloway Productions, and lots of tips that can help you enjoy every run-injury-free. Please join us at our beach retreats February 8-10, Feb 22-24, and March 21-23-and a running school in Fayetteville, AR on January 26.

Running Movies

There are three running documentary movies that very few people have heard about-but are quite good. Two were produced by my son Brennan. The other is about the history and the power of the marathon and will have a debut in 500 theatres in late January.

THE SPIRIT OF THE MARATHON is the first full-length documentary on the classic race and has lots of interesting people and footage about this "right of passage" that runners undertake. For information on this one night showing on January 24th, visit www.marathonmovie.com. Jon Dunham did a good job in production.

FIVE THOUSAND METERS tells the journey of 9 men trying to make the 2004 Olympic Team-mostly in their own words. It has become a cult favorite among runners and coaches. Having going through this experience myself, I was very pleased to find that the movie accurately presented the struggles and the rewarding moments. Produced by Brennan Galloway and Carl Leivers. Available at www.negativesplit.net for $19.95.

INDULGENCE is the story of an ultra marathoner, Anton Krupicka-two time winner of the Leadville (CO) 100 miler. Beautiful scenery, interesting ideas and philosophy are all blended nicely. Produced by Brennan Galloway and Alex Nichols. It's available at www.negativesplit.net and there will be a showing during the Disney Marathon weekend.

Cramped for time? Just run for 10 minutes.

Let's say that you don't have 30 minutes on a easy day. It is much better to run for 10 minutes on these days, than to let 3 or more days go by without a run. More info
