by Larry EderHappy Sunday! The long run is the feature on Sunday. It is a key workout of the week. Want to enjoy it? Get some friends, find a park with trails to run in and enjoy it. Make sure you stretch post run, and hydrate and get some clothes on. Keep the run at a talking pace, so that you do not run too fast. Your speed will increase as you get into better shape.
