What Makes a Good Runner
Have you ever wondered what makes someone a "good" runner?
Now, you know me. I'm not an elite runner. So you know that when I say a "good runner," I'm not talking about someone setting world records at the Olympics. I'm talking about an Average Joe who's a runner like me -- an "Average Jerry."
My best-selling course is all about helping an Average Joe (or an Average Joanna) go from good to better to best…but at his or her own level. My course doesn't try to turn you into a gold medalist …it teaches you how to avoid injury so that you can achieve your "personal best" as a runner.
But back to the question: what makes a good a runner?
The quick answer to the question is undoubtedly "genetics, but that isn't very meaningful unless you're one of the lucky ones born with the DNA of a champion. You can't change your genetic make-up, so there's no need to focus on what you aren't…and can never be.
Instead, let's focus on what you CAN achieve. I'd like to pose my question a different way: What are the ATTRIBUTES of a good runner?
You'll be pleased to know that these "Magic 7" attributes of good runners can be achieved by beginning joggers, running enthusiasts, "eat up the miles" marathoners…and especially Y-O-U!
• An efficient cardiovascular system
• A good power-to-weight ratio
• Strong leg muscles
• Good local muscular endurance
• Good general endurance
• Above-average flexibility
• Strong motivation to succeed
If you're feeling fired up, I'd like to "fan your flame" and invite you to order "How To Run Like a Deer, Forever"… right now. By the way…it's a risk-free offer with a money-back guarantee!
And…I've got THREE FREE GIFTS waiting to reward you for your enthusiasm and your decisiveness, so let me hear from you soon.
Remember, if you are experiencing pain, see a doctor as soon as possible.
And, if you are thinking about or have given up running because of pain or fear of injuries, give my course a try. You can order here: http://www.runningtough.com/order.html.
