Week 3 | BRP Day22

Long Day

Time: 35-40 minutes.

Long day number 3! Remember, today is not about speed but about going the distance. But don’t focus on just finishing the run, focus on the journey along the way. Think about how many breaths you take between each step and try to stay consistent even as you fatigue. Listen to your favorite playlist. Find a new trail or go back to one you really like. Reach a point of rhythm and a state of zen with this workout. See if you can find that elusive runner’s high that so many runners claim to experience. It’s real.
