The only thing I disagree with here is intentionally not talking about speed. I think that all beginner runners should do a trial mile run and then enter the amount of time it took them to complete this run into the McMillan running calculator located here: http://www.mcmillanrunning.com.....ulator.htm

This calculator is a great tool to figure out where your level of running fitness is. Since beginners should only really be focusing on endurance at that stage of the game (at least in my opinion, some like to have a more balanced training schedule at the beginning but I think that just leads to more injury) you stay in the guidelines of the Endurance Running paces it gives you. If they want to use the walk/run program posted in this article, just stick with the long run pace in that program to build up that endurance.

Those are excellent tips. The mental approach is as important as anything else. There are no limits when we set our minds to things.
Meantime, you might be interested in having a peak at this inspirational story from the Chicago marathon, and perhaps commenting on it!

Are we not supposed to ask you about your sources because you just make junk up?
Good stuff other than that odd little comment
