Warm-up well,
45-60 minutes of moderate running, 6 x 150 meter stride-outs,
Cooldown well, and remember to hydrate.
Check your shoes and make sure that your training shoes
are ready for 12-18 more weeks of training.
If not, go to a local running store and find one or two pairs of good training shoes.
We will speak about that soon!
