Speeding UpThis is my favourite time of year, as a runner, a coach, and as a regular human being :) I love the long days, the warm nights, and the fast workouts. Sure, sometimes the summer heat doesn’t mean speed. It can be so frustrating to feel sluggish and slow in the humidity, and I know what it’s like to suffer in the sun. But there’s no ice to slip on! No second layer of clothing to drag us down! Whether we have hill repeats or an interval workout, we can literally run faster during this time of year. And running fast is fun. While not all runners have a need for literal speed, even the marathoners are beginning to build momentum for their quickly approaching fall races. In a sense, most of us are speeding up as the summer flies by. Let’s make sure to pause and enjoy it while we can! Sincerely,
Nicole
