Running Around 8-4-08

Sorry for the late email this week. I've been out of town. I'll keep it short and sweet. Base training is winding down, but we'll continue pure base for this week since the temps will be so high. That means a road/greenways run. Next week we'll start to gradually re-introduce speed into our workouts with a progression run.

Be sure to hydrate throughout the day and also eat properly.

If you want to do some track work during this time, follow the summer workout series posted at the link in item 1b, below.

Now for the workout summary:

1a. Road run 5-10 miles.
