2021 RunBlogRun, week # 6, Summer mileage, day 2

Welcome to week six. We suggested yesterday that you include sit-ups (bent legged), pull-ups and push-ups, beginning with 5-10 this week, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. For the juniors and seniors, I am suggesting, 30 minute morning runs, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Keep those runs relaxed.

On today’s run, get in some tough hills, and push them, finish up tired, and make sure that you cool down. Take turns pushing hills and remember to hydrate.
