How to Take a Running Break (and Actually Enjoy It)
Runner's World US
|Issue 06, 2022
RUNNING IS LIKELY a pretty big part of your day-to-day, with training sessions, group runs, and races just as important to your schedule as some of your other responsibilities.
And if you're like me, you wouldn't have it any other way. But what happens when life intervenes and you're suddenly forced to take a prolonged break from running, or slow down significantly? I connected with RW+ member Jason Hogge, 47, from Calgary, Alberta, who has a half marathon under his belt and used to average almost 40 miles a week, despite being fairly new to running. Because of extenuating circumstances, he had to seriously reduce his mileage after his first 13.1, which left him feeling disappointed that he couldn't sustain such high mileage all year long.
He wanted to know how to make peace with taking a running break. Sound familiar? Follow my advice.

THE SHOES THAT SILENCED MY INNER CRITIC
AROUND THIS TIME last year, I arrived at the Runner’s World office and was greeted by a bright orange shoebox sitting on my desk. I had signed up the day before to become a shoe tester, and the box heralded my first assignment. Excited, I rushed to open it, finding a pair of Nike Zoom Fly 6s inside—in bright pink.
