It is usually perfectly safe to run in the rain, as long as the weather you face isn’t a heavy storm with lightning. Did you know that working out in heavy rain can reduce your performance due to the energy your body expends trying to stay warm? If you run in the rain, focus on distance and time instead of speed.

If it is likely you may encounter rain on your run, wear shoes that have good grip and wear layers. Rain has been a regular afternoon visitor lately but it doesn’t have to stop you!

Here is a good one to start off the work week, lol.

Interval training is essential for building speed and endurance and can help you get past plateaus in training. However, it is important to get it right by proper pacing.

Proper interval training is an essential part of training for any kind of race and consists of alternating during a workout to improve speed.
