And just like that September arrived and finally brought some cooler weather with it! This was an interesting week that started hot and humid, then we had lots of rain, flooding, and tornado watches from Hurricane Ida, and ended nice and cool. I'm not convinced the heat is gone for good, but I'll take this break from it for now. Let's do a recap of this week as we are welcoming September and the nice weather it may bring.

Training Week 12: Welcoming September

It was another brutal week of weather, once again. I took a few of my runs indoors to keep them easier and give myself a break from the heat and humidity. This stretch of humid days has just been going on for too long. I don't think we have had a morning under 70 with less than 90% humidity all month. But eventually summer will end and it will cool off. For now, I'm running outside when I can but also embracing the treadmill.

Over the past 18 months many people have turned to running as a way to exercise without having to go to a gym. Often times what starts as an innocent way to stay in shape can turn into an obsession with the sport. One day you're running for 10 minutes around the block, the next you're getting ready to run your first marathon. (Hopefully the progression doesn't actually happen that quickly!) So if you're running has progressed to the point where you have signed up for your first marathon, congrats! Here's what you need to know.

This was another rough week of weather. Not only was the humidity out of control, but we had rain just about every day. The forecast showed a chance of rain every morning, so there was no way to know when would be the best days for running. Since it wasn't actually raining most days, it was just ridiculously humid. We had some crazy thunderstorms at night too. But, I made it through week 10 of training, while trying to outrun the rain!

After you started running, you probably started learning more and more about running, right? You read articles and blogs, maybe even some books, and followed lots of fast runners on Instagram. So by now you should be familiar with all the running rules, right? What would you say if I told you that sometimes those running rules are wrong? Don't be so quick to follow the running advice you find on the internet! Here are 6 running rules that may not actually be helpful and what to consider when deciding what to do instead.

Training Week 9: Back to Reality

August 15, 2021view the post

Last week I was off from work, which meant I had more time for running. It was also a big week for track and field in the Olympics. Talk about inspiring! But all of that had me thinking about what it takes to get to that kind of level of running, and what holds back everyday runners like you and I. What would running be like if we had all the running resources?
