Best Running Tips Newsletter, Issue #013 -- Hills and UpdatesApril 14, 2009 Welcome to the Best Running Tips Newsletter ! In previous issues of this newsletter I have mentioned that running in Australia is different to running in Holland, where I am originally from. Holland is extremely flat. Compared to that every run in Australia is hilly. In the beginning this made running a lot harder for me. I am sure you would experience the same thing. However, as you do it more and more it becomes easier. Your legs get stronger. You know better how to run on hills. There is a whole psychological aspect to conquering hills as well... One of my main runs includes a continuous climb of about 30-35 minutes. Not so steep, but consistently up. Talk about the psychological aspect of running... it is a real killer. I love it... :) After my last race, which involved a few hills as well I was once again convinced that hill running is an incredibly good exercise. I flew up those hills... well, maybe I didn't exactly but I went a lot faster than many of my fellow competitors... I have recently added a first page to Best Running Tips about hill running. I hope it helps you conquer the hills as well and helps you become a faster runner. ============================================= STILL AVAILABLE... BEST RUNNING TIPS EBOOK In case you have missed it, the Best Running Tips eBook is now available. It contains over 250 pages of running info taken out of several sections of Best-Running-Tips.com. It's a great guide to beginning and more experienced runners and provides all the great stuff of Best-Running-Tips.com in one easy book. Click here for more information ============================================= HOT TIP: SPECIAL COUPON CODES I consider part of my ongoing service to you to make you aware of specials. At the moment there are several specials that may interest you. I might create a separate section on the website for this so we make sure that you do not miss out on any discounts that may apply in different running webstores. First of all, there is a cool 15% discount available on any heart rate monitor you get from HealthCheckSystems.com. The trick? Just use coupon code: MOTHER when getting the heart rate monitor. Why mother? The special runs until Mother's Day! Link no longer available Second, Footsmart are doing a few specials as well. Footsmart is a great store for the injured runner, but they offer a good range of special footwear as well, including some running shoes. Special codes: WB10OF75 for 10% off shoes when value is higher than $75,-. Link no longer available. WBHEAL50 for for free shipping on health purchases over $50,-. Link no longer available. Last, Nike is having a clearance sale. Link no longer available. ============================================= NEW ON THE SITE I have been quite busy in the last two months, part of the reason why you did not receive an update last month. I have added I'd say about 40-50 new pages. Many of them are product reviews, answers to questions from readers and the beginning of a marathoning and diet section. Special mentions for the following pages: Marathon Running Runner's Diet Also check out reviews of some special shoes like Newton shoes for men or Newton shoes for women. Another interesting shoe brand is Ryka which only makes shoes for ladies. Check out a review here. And of course you keep on supplying me with great questions via the Running Training Helpline or other Q&A areas on the site. Check out a few Q&A about a torn ACL, increasing stamina or multiple half marathons. Check out the Running Training Helpline for many questions and answers about running training. And keep those great questions coming! I am more than happy to take the time and provide you with some advice. ============================================= Subscribe to my RSS Feed and be the first one to know when something changes to the Best Running Tips website.
