Be Consistent
Chase Squires is the first to admit that he's no fitness expert.
But he is a guy who used to weigh 205 pounds, more than was healthy for
his 5'4" frame. "In my vacation pictures in 2002, I looked like the Stay puft Marshmallow Man at the beach," says the 42-year-old Colorado
resident. Squires decided enough was enough, cut out fatty food, and
started walking on a treadmill. The pounds came off and soon he was running
marathons -- not fast, but in the race. He ran his first 50-mile race
in October 2003 and completed his first 100-miler a year later. Since
then, he's completed several 100-mile, 50-mile, and 50k races.
His secret? "I'm not fast, but I'm consistent," says Squires, who
says consistency is his best tip for maintaining a successful fitness
regimen.
