by Larry EderThe long-run is a key to your development as a distance runner. If you race 800m to 5000m, you will need a distance base. We will build you from 55 minutes to 90 minutes this summer. Pace is pretty moderate, but consistency is key.
Get yourself ready for the fall, and just follow our daily summer mileage program. Add some core work, eat well, and sleep 8-10 hours a night, and you will be ready for fall cross country.
