The key to summer mileage is getting in daily runs.
Building your mileage over the summer is good.
Getting in a half-hour run here, an hour run there, and 45 minutes there, fitting it into your summer lifestyle is key.
Summer mileage, my sophomore year in high school, changed my racing life and my view of the sport.
I just ensured I ran every day of the summer, and by the fall, I had built my fitness.
Your workout today, warm up slowly, 45-50 minutes of moderate running, then a slow cooldown, and please hydrate!
