Why Should You Listen to Me? Who am I to Tell You This?


dominique running
That's me, running a half marathon.
At about the half way mark,
so still looking presentable... :)

My name is Dominique.

Call me Dom, that's what everybody does!

I've been a passionate runner for many years.

When I first started running I looked all over the place for the Best Running Tips around.

Hard work and not always easy to get good advice. You know the feeling. You spend two hours online and with every article you read you get more confused.

Some say you should run faster. Some say you should run slower. Some say you shouldn't run at all....

Frustrating! More exhausting than an interval session...

That's why I developed this website.

    "... Keep Up The Great Work..."

    Hi Dominique,

    Great website! I am new to running, just started six weeks ago. I had a problem with my knee caused by golf, not running, so I was unable to run for 2 weeks. So really, I have only been running for 4 weeks.

    Anyway I have been using your running stretches for my last two runs and to my amazement I was pain free the day after my run for the first time.

    I would like to thank you for this advice it has encouraged me even more to continue with my running program.

    I really enjoy running it makes me feel alive, the way you have to push yourself testing your limits.

    Right now I am doing a running and walking program. I am escalating the running portion and reducing the walking gradually week after week.

    I would like to be able to run for 30 minutes by the 12th week of my program. That is very exciting, I can't believe how quickly I have fallen in love with this sport.

    Anyway thanks again for the advice and keep up the great work it is very inspiring.

    Best Regards,
    Wade, Toronto
