What does a basic running plan include?

Key workouts for an effective running program:

• Intervals: Short bursts of high-speed running followed by rest or slow jogging for recovery.

Lisa’s Prescription for Improving Speed:

• Be patient and consistent—allow your body time to adapt.

Nutrition for Runners:

• Protein waffles with banana and almond butter.

Key Takeaways for Seeking God While Running:

• Meditate on Scripture while running.

Hebrews 12:1-2:  

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith.”

James 1:2-4:  

“Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.”

Colossians 3:23-24:  

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.”
