Running is biblical…. Sort of

1. **Tempo Run:**
- **Concept:** Tempo runs require pushing yourself beyond your comfort zone to improve endurance and speed.
- **Biblical Example:** When Jesus walked on water (Matthew 14:22-33), Peter demonstrated a strong faith by stepping out of the boat to meet Jesus on the water. Just like a tempo run challenges you to sustain a hard pace, Peter's act required him to step out in faith and keep his focus on Jesus despite the challenging circumstances.

2. **Easy Run:**
- **Concept:** Easy runs are about maintaining a comfortable pace for recovery and building a strong base.
- **Biblical Example:** In Mark 6:31, Jesus invites his disciples to come away to a quiet place and rest after a period of ministry. This act of rest and rejuvenation reflects the importance of easy runs in allowing the body to recover, rejuvenate, and build a solid foundation for future challenges.

3. **Recovery Run:**
- **Concept:** Recovery runs are slow, short runs that aid in active recovery, reduce muscle soreness, and promote healing.
- **Biblical Example:** In Luke 5:16, Jesus often withdrew to lonely places to pray and seek restoration after times of intense ministry. This intentional practice of seeking solitude and restoration mirrors the purpose of recovery runs in aiding in physical and mental recovery, allowing for healing, and preparing for the next phase of training or challenges.

By drawing parallels between running concepts and biblical examples from the life of Jesus, we can understand how faith can be connected to different types of runs in marathon training, highlighting the importance of perseverance, rest, and recovery in both physical and spiritual journeys.

But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.

listen to it!!!

Psalm 34:18
18 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

Adam Keehn, a good man, is gone way too soon to be with the Lord. He loved his wife; he loved becoming a dad; he LOVED being a Junior High Pastor.

I was at Biola recruiting, having lunch, and I saw Adam from across the room; I thought he should intern with me; he looked like a youth pastor. I interrupted him, introduced myself, and he said he was studying photography, I told him I think he’d be a great youth pastor, and the rest is history.
