One winter night some years ago, I was changing in the locker room of the local racquet club near where I live in Northwest Indiana when a tennis enthusiast inquired about the group of people that surrounded me. I explained about the beginning running class I was then teaching with my wife, Rose. At that time, we met with the group once a week to run together around the racquet club's indoor track. He was right, of course. You don't need to teach running-or shouldn't need to.
Children learn to run almost as soon as they learn to walk.
Visit any elementary school playground, and you'll see kids running all over the place. It is only as adults that people forget to run and sometimes have to be taught again. Running is basically a simple movement. Then you put your left foot forward. Then you do it again.
