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.

  • Intro uses catch, and explains the summary of what I'm doing with an example of how to start and maybe a personal story on how to I got into running and how its difficult but overall worth it in the long run
  • questions should be raised such as training plans, how to get motivated, and issues people might face
  • give training schedules, injury prevention tips, and different ways to motivate people to get fit
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

Things that will also be involved is personal experience from me on how I started and how I relate, as well as sources with expert opinion.

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.
