New workouts posted!  We are into our 3rd week of training.  This is where the “Grind” begins.  Lets be sure to keep getting better each day and dream of your goals in training.  It is what has always gotten me though my many years of solo running.

Feel free to text or call me anytime: 734-770-8951

For Laying out a distance, you can mark off a course by taking a really long walking stride which will be about 1 meter.  Walk the distance and put down marks just like we had in the woods.

For longer distance runners, convert your distances to times and run a set interval time: i.e. 1,000m = 3 min, 30 sec.
