Train slower, race faster.

"Studies on the training intensity distribution of elite runners have found that most elite runners run at low intensities most of the time." - Read full article at http://running.competitor.com/2013/06/training/train-slower-race-faster_52242. So my Saturday morning run at Acton Ferry Terminal, for the most part, is slow. I enjoyed meeting four beginner runners at the Ferry Terminal today - Caleb, Elspeth, Snow and Daisy. An easier than usual run is far better than no run at all, and is also better than training too hard too often.
