2025.01.09 - Junk Mile January
Junk miles? Miles with no purpose other than to add miles to the log. Not fast, not long, not specific training miles targeting an upcoming race, just enough energy output so we are comfortable saying, we are runners. January is no time to go charging out front like a freshman in a cross country meet, it’s time to give the body a break before the build-up for spring, a time to lick our wounds and get some other things off the checklist of life. This is, a time to plan out the running year, and enter events that target, or are, our goal event.
Get out and slog a few mindless miles today, or not,
Randy Step, an admitted obsessed runner, admitting to extending my junk runs until at least mid-February.
