Athletes, off-season training is critical!

Here are some tips to come into the season with your best foot forward.

- Work toward being able to run at a moderate pace for at least 30 minutes without stopping.
- Run at least 3 times per week, with some workouts focusing on speed and others focusing on endurance.
