🦝 STRIDER QUICK TIP: KEEP EASY DAYS EASYNot every run needs to be a test of your fitness.In fact, one of the best things you can do for your training is learn to slow down.On an easy day, try the Talk Test:🗣️ Can you speak in complete sentences?👍 YES? You're probably keeping the effort comfortably easy.😮💨 NO? Back off the pace a little—or take a walk break.Easy running and fitness walking help you build endurance while giving your body a break from harder efforts.And remember:Easy isn't a specific pace. It's an effort.Your easy pace can change with the weather, hills, fatigue and even how you're feeling that day.So don't worry about what somebody else's watch says.🏃 Run easy.🚶 Walk when needed.💚 Save the hard effort for the days that call for it.👇 Are you good at keeping easy days easy—or does every run somehow turn into a race? 😂🦝 Saline County StridersRun • Walk • Connect
