Until the first official day of Fall finally arrives (September 23rd, if you are curious!), we can’t escape the real feel 100+ degree Summer days. It can’t be escaped, but we can set ourselves up for a successful run by what we wear and how we recover.
When I first thought about the topic of success, my mind went directly to fitness goals and what it feels like to achieve them. Maybe that is because I am personally on a fitness journey after having a baby, but then I realized, prior to Lucy, I still found joy in celebrating small accomplishments surrounding an active lifestyle.
If you are not an early to rise person and want to become one, follow our tips and celebrate small successes until you get to that point. Let us help you become the Early Bird that Catches the Worm.
If you’re like me, you aren’t in the mood to eat much after a hot summer run. But it’s important to refuel! My solution: a post-run smoothie.
