The most important thing about running is running! “Shut up and run” is the answer to just about any running woe you may encounter. This is as much a part of your mental preparation as it is a part of your physical preparation. It is an overruling mechanism for a whole host of running situations. In a way it is the ultimate running mantra. When you’ve been on the road for x number of hours and you’re about ready to give up – shut up and run! When a marshal sends you the wrong way during a race – shut up and run! When a water table runs out of water/coke – shut up and run! When you lose your bottle of special “muti” – shut up and run! When your running watch stops working – shut up and run! When your alarm goes off at 4.30am in the morning – shut up and run! I trust you see where I am going with this. If you want to succeed out there on the road you need to shut up and run!
