The easiest way to get strength work into your running regimen

STEPS:
End your run before you get to the end.
Perform 3x
10 squats (30sec rest)
10 lunges (30sec rest)
10 step-ups (30sec rest)
5 jump squats
Another option is to break these three sets up throughout a run. If I run along the local bike path I may stop and do a set of these at a few park benches along the path instead of doing them all at once during the walk-back cooldown after my run.

Great common sense to do those while still warm and the adrenaline hasn’t crashed.
So I’m looking at races for September to finally do first in six years. I google and came across the spearfish one and was looking at results and one name caught my eye, you haha.
What did you think of the race? The only real downhill I’ve done (4 times) is tunnel east of Seattle.
Do you see anyone during this race? Seems like a gentle downhill like the Tunnel course.

The spearfish canyon Sundance to spearfish marathon is quite nice. It's an incredibly beautiful run, it's quite small so one thing to keep in mind is you could do the entire run and not see anybody but the occasional volunteer. Due to the lack of parking at the start and the bus transport situation they only allow 100 or so people in. But it's a really lovely course and I highly recommend it.
