This edition of Love2Run is a little late for September, but we figured it is better to go for a run, rather than to skip a run (metaphorically speaking of course). As the warmer weather nears, it is time to think about tapering back the distance you run weekly and look to focus on planning your 2017 goals. Take this time of year to have a little break, refresh the mind and do some shorter running to get some speed back into the legs.
In this this issue: Did you know running facts – Part 28 In 2016, Patrick Lange of Germany ran the fastest Hawaii Ironman marathon in a time of 2hr39min45sec – breaking a 27 year old course record. Patrick ran himself into 3rd place overall with his fantastic run split. Stay healthy, keep active and have a happy run! Protect your eyes from the elements When it comes to the sun, we often think about protecting our skin from UV rays with sunscreen and hats, but forget that our eyes are susceptible to UV ray exposure too. Not to mention the damage caused by debris and bugs in the eyes when running.

At intraining Running Centre, we have a wide range of sunglasses from Adidas Eyewear that are ideal for running.
