• [OPTIONAL BUT HIGHLY RECOMMENDED] - Track your weekly running mileage throughout the summer.  One easy way to do this is to use an app like Strava (we've got a club for our team you can join HERE).  You could also keep it simple and print out a blank calendar and write in your daily/weekly mileage.  If you want Coach Bryn to shoot you a template to keep track of your summer training, send her an email at bryn.saunders@delasalle.com or a message on Remind 🙂
