My Running Routine

Someone had asked me about my running routine, so I decided to elaborate a bit more on my original response:

Interval runs work for me. Whether I take a run, sprint, or walk break depends on outside scene, my mood, and music from the MOTOACTV. I keep walk breaks to a few seconds and try to meet distance goals on each run: complete 6mi by 1hr, 9mi by 1.5hr, 12mi by 2hr. I don't have set times for these interval runs, I simply go for as long as my body wants at any speed I choose.       

The most crucial components on my runs are chewing gum, compression shorts, suitable shoes, sport sunscreen spray (especially on shirtless runs), shorts with an internal pocket for ID/key, GPS tracker, music player, headphones, sunglasses, and a hat. This may sound weird, but the gum serves as my alternative for water by preventing cottonmouth. Two sticks are enough for me and tend to last until the start of my 12th mile when I then dispose of it into a park trashcan.
