Summer Training Ideas

Shake It Up!!

Summer in Tucson is a great time to mix up your training routine. Rather than fight the heat every day, use it as inspiration to incorporate different things into your week, like swimming and gym sessions. Give yourself some cross training days, which will let your running muscles rest but keep your cardio in tact (and can allow you some extra sleep if necessary). Us runners love routines, but routines can easily turn into ruts over the really hot months. Don't be afraid to shake things up this summer and embrace a training schedule that makes you happy, not miserable. Here is a sample summer training schedule.
