Class 17

The days dwindle down to our finish here. Only three remain. Remember that your quiz answers are due by Friday, if you're taking this class for credit.

Wednesday's run will be either 1.2 or 2.4 miles, aiming for the pace of your last long run but at less distance. To avoid conflicts with the lacrosse camp, we will move to the cemetery beside University Street. You can go directly there (to top of steps) or meet at the regular spot and walk there with me at 9:00.

TODAY'S EASY HALF-HOUR

(everyone went about 30 minutes, with no exact times, distances or paces recorded; target was to recover from Monday's run and refresh for Wednesday's)

LESSON 17: SUPPLEMENTAL SPORTS

You might not always be able to run... or might not always want to run... or might sometimes want to add activities to your running. Alternatives abound. You can bicycle, swim, “run” in water (wearing a flotation belt), cross-country ski, snowshoe or simply walk (one of the best but least appreciated options to running). In most of these activities, duplicate your running time to gain similar fitness benefits. If walking, double your usual running time.
