Training
Runners...there's a lot of good to be said about us. But a pitfall many of us share is getting stuck in a routine. Becoming a roborunner is a real present danger. All about adding up miles, whether you (or your body) is feeling it or not can lead to injury and burnout. For the next four weeks we're shaking up our routine in our series: Runners Try. We hope that by challenging ourselves to get out of our routine, and risk trying something new that we'll come out the other side more present, stronger and more focused. Perfect as fall marathon training really ramps up.
This week we grabbed our SPF, suits and paddleboards to try Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP) Yoga on the Puget Sound. Come along!
