Okay, so I'm feeling a bit lazy selecting routes this month. But that's no reason to be blasé when you're running them. If anything, now is the time to focus on your base miles or even speedwork. The routes below are out-and-back routes, which are perfect for working on negative splits/finish fast workouts. And if you had a busy weekend at the races, get in some recovery miles. Keep the legs moving!
