  Weight lifting - barebells and / or machines

  I have become a fan of the elastic (surgical tubing) bands. Different moves and tension/weights available.  Need to find the exercises and muscles to focus on.

  Tips to stay motivated

  Ihave pretty good motivation to get out on a daily basis and enter the races- I am searching for ideas on motivation to put in the effort to improve... Maybe later some actual guidance/coaching on how to improve.

  Running and the Brain

  As I train and run the longer distances I am struggling with my thoughts and my head.

  I have focused on the physical comfort in the run- now need to work the mental aspect.   Not a fan of No Pain No Gain but I do know that some "stress" is needed to improve or even to maintain as I age.

  Any books, or other help for this?
