How to change your running routine

When you do something different, it changes the way the body is "stressed," making it more adaptable and therefore, stronger. Flexibility and strength go hand-in-hand. there is no set law that Saturday has to be long run day. Or that you have to follow a weeklong, seven-day schedule. Instead, try switching to a longer or shorter schedule, depending on what races you have coming up. For shorter races, try a shorter schedule, like a five or six-day loop for a few weeks. The extra days in between stress-workouts are perfect for cross training days, like yoga, biking, and pool workouts. Your training for longer races like the marathon can accommodate a longer schedule. I have followed these instructions and had a great time running and hiking with my family. It really prepares you for any short or long runs.
