你的週末跑步怎麼樣

What do you do when you know you really need a bit of a stern talking to? When your inner monologue turns into something of a pathetic whimper, and you start trying to think of excuses to stop? I was thinking about this on my rather evil 20 miler yesterday, which included some miles at marathon pace in the middle. My answer is usually twofold: firstly, embrace the Steve Way mantra of "Don't be shit". Secondly, channel my inner Emil Zatopek.

當你知道你真正需要一個嚴肅的話題討論時，你會怎麼做?當你的內心獨白變成一個可憐的啜泣聲時,你開始想借口停止嗎?我正在思考關於我昨天魔鬼般20英里的跑步,其中中間一段包括馬拉松的速度。我的回答通常是雙重的:首先,信奉史蒂夫的咒語"不要狗屎運"；其次,引導我內心的埃米爾·扎託倍克。

For anyone who doesn't know - or wants to know more about - the story of one of the greatest runners of all time, do check out Richard Askwith's new biography. Puts things firmly into perspective, even if that perspective is one that many normal people would characterise as "totally insane".

對於任何人不知道或想知道更多的關於所有時代最偉大的奔跑選手的故事之一，一定要翻閱理查德-阿斯奎思的新傳記。即使那個觀點是像普通人描述的"完全瘋狂"的那樣，也要使一些事情賦予前瞻性。

I heard at the weekend, incidentally, that the Czech Olympic kit for Rio has a small cartoon of Zatopek on it - if anyone can provide pictures of this, or better yet, links where I can buy it, let me know!

在週末我偶然聽說，捷克的奧運選手姬特爲了里約奧運有一個小的Zatopek卡通畫-如果任何人能提供這樣的圖片，或者更好的，請讓我知道可以買到它的鏈接！

So, tell me about your weekend running? Are you also gearing up the mileage for an autumn marathon, or focussing on a decidedly more sensible goal? As always, share your weekend woes and triumphs below the line.

所以,告訴我關於你的週末跑步吧?你也準備參加秋季馬拉松或是關注更明顯的目標嗎?一如既往,下面分享一下你週末發生的傷心與開心事吧。
