In Jeff Galloway's latest article in the Nov. issue of Runner's World, he makes the claim that its ok to miss a run to take a break and that one only needs to do a 10-minute run to maintain their aerobic conditioning.
I can't imagine that this is true. Your thoughts?

If he's referring to a daily training routine and in lieu of bagging the entire day, getting something done is probably better than nothing. One of my mottos is when I'm pressed for time and can't run as long as I'd like, then I run it hard. During real busy days, it might be a hard 2-miler...more than 10-minutes though :?
And as he goes on to say, it sounds more like a short term strategy to change your mindset to just simply get out there. And once a person is in the habit and getting out on the road, it's a gateway to typical running routines.
He should have a caveat there though that this should be a "mulligan" for maybe one or two runs a month... at least IMHO.

As a mulligan, that makes sense. A week or two ago i was feeling really busy and rushed, but i made time for a quick mile run just to keep in the habit. Might not be a bad idea.
