Purpose Running

Giving each run a purpose will help you keep up your routine without getting stale. Designate one day for a “maintenance” run (an easy-paced run that helps maintain fitness), another day to run long, and a third day for speed play (aka “fartlek”). On this run, set out at your usual pace, and pick up the tempo when you feel ready. You might accelerate to a landmark you see ahead, like a tree. Then jog to recover. Take off again when you’re ready.
