🦝 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

🏃🍂 Arkansas 20K: Three Weeks to Go! Getting ready for 12.4 miles on October 24? Now’s the time to build confidence and fine-tune your race routine!👟 Stay consistent. Stick with training you can comfortably handle. Avoid cramming in extra miles to make up for missed runs.⛰️ Practice controlled hills. Keep your effort steady uphill, even if your pace slows. Save some energy for the miles ahead!💧 Rehearse your fueling. Use your remaining longer runs to practice the breakfast, fluids, and fuel you plan to use on race day.🧦 Test your gear. Make sure your shoes, socks, and clothing work comfortably on a longer outing.😴 Make recovery count. Give yourself easy days and plenty of sleep. As race day approaches, ease back so you arrive feeling fresh.What are you most looking forward to—meeting the challenge, enjoying the fall miles, or crossing that finish line? 👇Race details and registration:salinecountystriders.com/races/arkansas-20k/
