The season ended a few weeks ago for most of the 1.6 million running track this year. I will begin recovery and early cross-country summer training on Monday, June 16.
You have had a long season. Did you achieve what you wanted? If not, think about what you can do to improve next year. If you need suggestions, write to me at [email protected], and I will provide five tips to help you be a better runner in 2024-2025.
Be inspired this weekend!

He currently manages the content and marketing development of the RunningNetwork, The Shoe Addicts, and RunBlogRun. Of RunBlogRun, his daily pilgrimage with the sport, Larry says: "I have to admit, I love traveling to far away meets, writing about the sport I love, and the athletes I respect, for my readers at runblogrun.com, the most of anything I have ever done, except, maybe running itself." Also does some updates for BBC Sports at key events, which he truly enjoys.
