Edward Young

Annie Dillard
“One thing led to another, and he decided to lengthen the boat.”
Jim Bento
“Again, it is not a good idea to lengthen stride, but use a lighter touch and quicker turnover. You can go faster that way. You might increase your forward lean slightly — that will increase your speed.”
Jeff Galloway
“Stretches undo the damage that happens to soft tissue with repetitive motion. It improves blood flow, lengthens the muscles, reduces the tension and returns the muscle to a more normal state.”
