Taper Tips To Get You Ready To Run a Strong Race

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

September 5, 2021view the post

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.

Training Week 11: Embracing the Treadmill

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!
