  • I just started adding sprinting once a week and it's been really fun and made a big difference! I just swapped out one of my shorter (4-5 mile) runs and now I'll do one of the following instead: - 3.5 miles - 3/4 mile warm up, 2 mile sprint intervals, 3/4 mile cool down - 4 miles - 1/2 mile warm up, 1 mile sprint…
