“Hard work pays off. You have to be just as disciplined to run a business as you do to train for an athletic event. You have to eat right, still have to get up early and work more than others.”
Wes Santee

With the summer heat, and if you are in an area like me - humidity - how much does it affect your speed

Emily Infeld has some injury recovery advice - I offer one piece of advice I have learned and that is take time off earlier than later - the longer you put off what is needed, rest, usually the longer you will end up taking off later and inevitably closer to the event you were putting off rest to compete in.
For the second year Brett Larner of the Japan Running News ran the 2020 Tokyo Olympic marathon course at the same time as when it will be run a year from now. Here is part one as he ran at the time the women's marathon would be run.
Having been working at improving my metabolic efficiency so that I am more fat adapted it is good to see more info getting out there - here are some good articles at Podium Runner: Become a Better Butter Burner, Five Questions About Fuel, No-Fuel/Slow-Fuel Long Runs & Dathan Ritzenhein's Marathon Fueling Journey. The thing here is takes time and knowing your body and also realizing metabolic efficiency and Keto are not the same thing - they be but in and of themselves are not. Get informed and then wrk to see what works best for you. I am simply LCHF and it works for me - I basically train low (carbs) and race higher (carbs) so no carb phobias here just need to knowhow they affect you.

Running groups are a great way to get to know people but also a great way to help you progress and get out and run. If you are in the Elizabethtown KY area check out the Running Soles Group and if you are closer to Campbellsville check out the Campbellsville Running Club. There is now a running group starting over in Burkesville, for info check out their FB Page- Burkesville Running Club. Have another local running group in KY let me know and I will list it.
