I sat in a session the day before the 1982 Foxboro Marathon where the speaker said we should run like 12-year old school kids running across a playground. He projected on a screen a picture of a kid in full stride. It was an excellent image to hold in my head the next day. I ran 3:20 in my first marathon. This conversation is a good reminder of all that, though it is a little harder to run like a 12-year old at 68. 😅 I also had a friend back then who could run the marathon an hour faster than me. (He won the 1983 East Lyme Marathon in 2:20.) Running alongside him-when he was on an easy run mind you-seemed so effortless. His stride, which I found easy to copy, more or less, was just so smooth, a long stride, syrupy and fast. I thought, why can’t I run like this all the time? All these years later, I still don’t know. Fear, maybe, that I won’t be able to keep it up. Ah, the 7-minute training pace…where have you gone?

OMGosh @Innerunner Lawrence, Listening to you has brought me peace, flow and loving running more each day I run. - 5yo til 13yo figure skating , falling a LOT! - at 12yo I fell on a 2foot, angled pointed wooden park barricade , hitting my upper abdomen (rib cage saved me), knocked the wind out of me - for 14years played contact broomball (This game is played running on ice) falling 100s of times , on my tailbone & had 3 of my transverse process, left side, cracked - And 12 years contract hockey… .. haha no wonder I’m a messy runner. Listening to you @Innerunner Lawrence in this video and all videos I can find with you speaking, helps me so much Thank you for sharing Lawrence Merci 🙏🏼 Chris,Ont🇨🇦

Super interesting conversation! I wonder if there is more info on the point regarding cross training on the bike and why its not great for running and how to counterbalance it. If there are any references where Lawrence talked about it I would very much appreciate a hint.
