Those of us who write know the perils of sitting on
our rear ends for long periods of time. Getting some exercise in when you’re on
a writing roll would not necessarily be high on your list of things to do.
However, getting out and breathing fresh air, by going for a walk or even a
jog, could open your mind to progress your story when you’re wondering where
you want it to go next.
For those of you who write and run (or run and
write), I don’t advocate doing both at the same time, there is a resource you
should really check out.
George Anderson’s intelligent running website contains
very helpful tips and hints.
I had the opportunity to submit a piece about
returning to running after an injury and he included it in his website. Check
mine and Amy Martin’s story here http://intelligentrunning.com/returning-to-running-after-an-injury
Sitting for long periods, then expecting your body to
kick into exercise mode can cause injuries. There are some great tips on the best
stretches to help the transition.
George’s ‘Beginner’s Luck' programme is free to
download here http://intelligentrunning.com/ and is a great way to start off or
return to running after an extended break.
Check it out and let me know what you think.
A great article Marie, very helpful and it is obvious you know the subject well.
