by Larry EderThe long run is a pivotal workout each week, and there are a variety of ways to run it. Find some friends, run on a beach, in a park, in a new neighborhood. Many of my long runs and morning runs were with a friend, Gerhard. Gerhard would lead me through these cool neighborhoods around San Jose, so that we could discover cool areas. He knew where we were going. I had no clue. It was a lot of trust, but Gerhard had run so many workouts with me, it was just natural to trust his judegement on morning runs and long runs.
