2020 RunBlogRun Track & Field Training Program (update for Coronavirus pandemic), Week 14, Day 7, enjoy the long Sunday....

Today is a 85-90 minute run, and you might have to keep close to follow local Quarantine rules. I have done 30 kilometer running 18 times a 2k loop, plus a 22 mile run going back and forth on a one mile road, and also ran six hours on a seven meter lap, (a zen thing, will tell that story another time).
