2022 RunBlogRun Spring Middle Distance Daily Track Training (800m-5000m), Week 22, Day 7

Long runs are a great time to contemplate your season. As the season ended for most collegians last week, and all high school athletes have had their state meets, and some are preparing for one of the 4 national meets.

At the end of the season, taking some time to reconsider your season is a good thing. Beginning tomorrow, we will begin 2-3 weeks of active rest before we begin our summer mileage program.
