With all the miles you've logged so far, there's no doubt you know EXACTLY why you run! And with just over two months to go until the Nike Women's Marathon, our focus is on what you love - training volume! Our long runs are getting longer and our total running per week continues to climb, so with the added stress on our bodies, it's important to stay alert to remain injury-free. That means giving our bodies some time to rest and recover. After all, we're running more, but we're not getting more hours in the day to recover! So, let's be smart about training and rest when our bodies tell us to.

As we increase the distance of our runs, it's also important to hydrate! Drink water or a sports drink before, during, and after exercise to avoid dehydration (our favorites are Safeway Refreshe Water and G Series Pro Endurance Formula It can also reduce your body's ability to recover from the run and to rebuild your carbohydrate stores. Staying hydrated: we'll all drink to that!

Our NWM mobile unit is still cruising around to running stores in San Francisco, so join us for one of our training runs. You'll find our training partners, Jason and Blake, at the times and locations below.
