Running is a great way to get fit. You'd think we'd just jump in and push the machine to the limit as often as possible. But doing so can lead to injury. Running is physically demanding, since it creates shocks that the body has to absorb, and it forces the entire cardiovascular system to work hard.
In fact, as this running enthusiast explains, it's better to do a little less. While intensity sessions are important for increasing speed, they shouldn't be the norm. Periods of fundamental endurance running are an intelligent way to prepare. The idea is to go, according to some, to 75% of maximum heart rate, even if this is not always the best rule. I

From far-flung adventures to educational and entrepreneurial action
Our relationship with adventure has been turned upside down. The notion of static adventure has become natural. All that's left of the great adventures of yesterday is the feeling we experience today in the pedagogical adventure from which entrepreneurial action springs. This pedagogy breaks with the conception of school as a place where rules must be obeyed, in favor of a representation of school as a territory of adventure.
