Summary
RE-POST
We are attending to family concerns this week, so we are re-posting a popular series, Micro Goals, from a couple years ago. These are timed perfectly for your off-season. Here is the first one on Running. We'll be back with new episodes next week!
How do you REALLY get faster at running in triathlon. Today, we go through all the smart, small, and important steps. As we know, Ironman is usually more about who slows down the least than who is fastest. How do you get there? Where do you start? It's really pretty simple, but that doesn't make it easy. Find out the rule of thumb for your long runs and why it's so important to run in a way that leaves you wanting more.
