byRBR AdminThe first week back to school and training is always a bit of a pain. Make sure you have new training shoes (check out our sponsor, www.hokaoneone.com, as they have some fantastic training shoes and their spikes, are pretty awesome too). We are doing fartlek this week as a way to start moving you to faster speeds and build you towards racing 800 metes to 5000 meters. Let us know what you think by emailing us at runblogrun@gmail.com.
