Mary Jennings: The perfect summer running goal is one that fits in around your other commitments and brings you joy
The shorts are finally on and I’m delighted to be complaining about the heat rather than the cold on the. Summer is finally here. Even if it is not quite tropical, it feels so liberating to run free from the weight of winter layers. –
Your best running summer might not be the one where you run your fastest or longest run but it could be one you laugh the most, learn more about your body or fix a niggle that has been bothering you. Take the time now to consider where you would you love to run, what distance excites you and realistically how much time you can give to running over the next few months.
There is no correct summer running plan. The perfect summer goal is one that fits in around your other commitments and brings you joy rather than feels like another drain on your time and energy.Later this summer I picture myself running light on my feet with the Atlantic on one side and a hilly coastal path in front of me. Speed won’t be my priority but building strength and resilience on hills and uneven ground in the meantime will be.
Last week, we spent a Monday evening running the sand dunes on Dollymount strand on Dublin’s northside, followed by a flask of tea at sunset. On Tuesday, we walked and chatted out the spectacular cobbled path out to Poolbeg lighthouse. Adventures don’t have to be just for weekends. You probably wont have time for them anyhow. Why not see if you could have one occasionally on a school night.
