Feature article personal experience

For my personal article I choose to use personal reflections for different topics to help convey my point to beginning runners. I also used testaments from the writers to give additional information. Lastly, I interviewed my teammate Rachel Breault to learn about blisters and how she takes care of them.

Examples of how to take care of muscles and different amounts of running to do to train for a certain event, all found in different sources

Exploding a moment

It was a cold, wet morning in November  and I was not looking forward to running.  My alarm started shrieking at 6:17 a.m. like every day, telling me its time to run.  I quickly shut it off to avoid waking my roommate.  Next I get dressed in darkness, a challenge in itself.  Now on the the endless pain of running.  Not only is it raining, cold, and dark but I am sore beyond belief as my joints creak and crack as I walk to the track.  Now the actual running begins as I find a new depth of pain while my muscles loosen up.  The thing that keeps me going on these morning runs is my teammates.  As we share in our daily gossip we pass the time and the memories.  This is my moment of my first of two runs every single day...

Feature article research

For my feature article I found many different articles talking about beginning to run.  These articles deal with variety of topics.  Such as training plans, injury prevention, technique tips, and work out plans.  All these will give me background for for my article on how to aid beginners in there journey to start running.

Feature article issue

For writing my feature article, i was using my community of running.  I specialized in running and decided to write about how beginners can get into running.  In this i can use different training plans to write up with as evidence and advice on how to start.  Also I can talk about injuries and problems beginners will face and have to endure to become long term runners.  With these issues I have I can also use personal issues to help give other background information on the article.  These facts plus the personal knowledge that I know will help me to write an extensive and comprehensive feature article.

3 Online blog analysis

The online blog I picked was http://www.everywhereist.com/. It talks about different aspects of traveling and vacationing.  The main issue is problems or questions and even reviews that relate to the vacationing spots.  It talks about these issues in a broad sense to attract more people and more audience throughout the traveling community.  It relates to my community because it both involves specific details and issues that are prevalent in the community.  By saying this they are kind of the same, just the online blog is a broader example as compared to my blog about the issues and problems in the running community.
