Sunday, Week 6, Day  7,  October 27, 2024

Warm-up well,

80-90 minutes if you are feeling good, if you are bit sore from Saturday, then, 65-75 minutes, on trails and soft, forgiving ground.

cool-down well,

Check your shoes and make sure that your training shoes

are ready for 10-14 more weeks of training. (Most shoes make it 12-16 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!
