A Hot Tip from Coach Zu on Running
Seems like everyone is a runner now? This is one of the positive aspects of our new stay-at-home existence.

This is easy for me, as when I run with my wife she is usually well ahead of me anyway!

For those of you running:

2) Avoid going too fast, too soon. Slow down; there are no 5Ks in the near future.
3) Try to avoid touching your face while running, keep six feet apart from others and make sure there is enough space when confronting others on the road.
4) Consider competing in virtual challenges with your family and friends to keep you motivated.
