Good morning RunDisney All-Stars! Welcome to this week's edition of Sundays are for Disney (SAFD). Memorial Day is next week, marking the unofficial start of summer. What are your summer running plans? Do you take a break from running and rest up for the start of training for MW? Focus on cross-training? Power through the summer conditions to be ready for fall races?
SAFD: As someone who thrives on consistency and momentum, I'll be running a normal schedule over the summer. My next race is scheduled for mid-October, which doesn't give me much leeway for downtime, anyway. If I were to stop running and get out of the habit, it would be very hard to pick back up. In addition, I've found that the higher I maintain my base, the fewer nagging issues I encounter during a training plan. So five days a week, it's off into the summer broiler I go!
