Training Tips Want to run faster? Whatever the distance you may be doing, interval work help you get the job done. Running the same distance at the same speed all day every day will keep you racing at that speed all day every day. Throw in some shorter intervals or some tempo runs and boost your heart rate to 170 to turbo your 5k.

Try alternating one minute easy, 30 seconds hard and you'll see you can get your cardio workout in the pool too! Your body will absolutely love you for it. See you guys next month.

Products and Training Tip Barefoot running is becoming more popular, and we believe barefooting can be an important part of a training program. Add some barefoot windsprints in the park or play some frisbee to help strengthen tendons and ligaments. We will be carrying the Vibram 5 fingers as soon as they become available in February, 2011 to help those who want to hit the trails barefooting. Thanks for joining us, Enjoy July's Running! Foot of the Rockies!
