Learning How To Learn: my final work

One of the most interesting courses I have followed on Coursera is Learning How To Learn.
Really great and challenging.

At the end, as final assignement, I have prepared a presentation, with some exploration of the Learning Techniques that I have found most useful.

I have decided to share the presentation here... maybe someone is interested too.

Good (and not so good) habits for learning.

First Running Program

I have decided to return to train to run, seriously.
The goal is to return under 50' for a 10K run.

It won't be easy, especially because I have to manage my problems to the knee of my right leg.
I have decided to adopt the FIRST running method.
I'm reading a book, on my Kindle, and I'm taking all the relevant information from this book.

The First method focus more on quality than quantity.
  • Three quality run workouts per week
  • Two cross training sessions per week
  • Strength and stretching sessions to improve strength and flexibility

It won't be easy. From what I have read the rithm is high. I hope to be able to avoid problems to my knee. The key things to succeed should be:
  • Regular strength training (squat, etc)
  • Cross training sessions (I plan to use my Kettler Rowing Machine)
  • Stretching
I'll post my updates and progress.
