July 30th Results (2.75 miles)

We’re nearing the end here. Or as I’d rather think of it, the last class as a new start you. Our eighth and final session here could bring your first 5K, either next Tuesday or Thursday – or both. I’ll send details on them in the next preview.

Pace is falling into place for three of you. Laura, Will and Ben all came within one second per mile of their previous pace here.

LESSON 14: Supplemental Sports

You might not always be able to run... or might not always want to run... or might sometimes want to add activities to your running. Alternatives abound. You can bicycle, swim, “run” in water (wearing a flotation belt), cross-country ski, snowshoe or simply walk (one of the best but least appreciated options to running). In most of these activities, duplicate your running time to gain similar fitness benefits. If walking, double your usual running time.
