Run number two of the day, but had to eventually get the traditional free slurpee on 7-11 day. 🏃♂️🥤👍 #running #7eleven #slurpee #runcoachmike #njrunning
Early morning run with the Fleet Feet 5K training group! 🏃♂️🏃♀️🏃♂️🏃♀️😎👍 #grouprun #runtraining #running #runcoachmike #njrunning
Short run to start the week. Two loops to try out two new shoes...Adidas Supernova Rise 3 and Saucony Hurricane 25. Much needed boost of fresh foam after wearing out my entire rotation over this past ultra training. 🏃♂️😎👟👍 #runtraining #running #runningshoes #runcoachmike #njrunning
Running Questions: What's something you own because of running that you never imagined you'd have? ❓🏃♂️😎👍 #runningquestions #running #runninggear #run #runcoachmike
The heat dome is gone and back to running in seasonal high humidity, but not life-threatening! Got in a good long run along the canal towpath which is always awesome. 🏃♂️😎👍 #running #summerrunning #longrun #runcoachmike #njrunning
Second run of the day after an earlier group training run. Did 2.50 miles on this one to celebrate the 250th...Happy Fourth of July! 🏃♂️😎🧨👍 #fourthofjuly #4thofjuly #250 #july4th #runcoachmike
Very early AM start avoids most of the oppressive heat for the town I'm club. 🏃♂️🏃♀️🏃♂️🏃♀️😎👍 #runclub #grouprun #runwalk #runcoachmike #njrunning
Heat dome run around town...yuck! 🏃♂️🥵👎 #running #heatdome #summerrunning #runcoachmike #njrunning
Got out much earlier than the usual, but the heat wave is fully here! Lower temp at 8am, but disgusting humidity and dew point. Got it done! 🏃♂️🥵👍 #running #heatwave #summerrunning #runcoachmike #njrunning
Getting in a muggy feeling run on the last day of PRIDE month. A hamstring has been a bit tight, so dialed down the pace a teeny bit. 🏃♂️😎🏳️🌈👍 #running #pridemonth #pride #beyou #runcoachmike
Running Questions: Any tips to get through those hot summer runs? ❓🏃♀️🏃♂️🥵❓ #runningquestions #runtraining #summerrunning #runningintheheat #runcoachmike
A bit humid, but nothing like the record high temperatures expected next week... so sucked it up and got to run in! Pretty decent pace and tolerable heart rate considering the muggy feel. 🏃♂️😎👍 #runtraining #running #summerrunning #runcoachmike #njrunning
Nice run around town ahead of some rain. Relied on my Garmin Fenix 8 color-coded HR zone data field to stay just within the upper part of zone two . 🏃♂️😎⌚📈👍 #runtraining #running #leagueofgarmin #leagueofgarmincaptain #njrunning
Another awesome run down the Jersey Shore! A strong headwind in one direction, but good pace and HR overall. 🏃♂️😎🌬️🌊👍 #runtraining #running #jerseyshore #runcoachmike #njrunning
Summer boardwalk miles along the ocean! 🏃♂️😎🌊👍 #running #jerseyshore #happyplace #runcoachmike #njrunning

A good morning with a Father's Day out at local diner and decided to spend the afternoon with a long(ish) run! A bit warm out, but good pace at the upper end of zone two. 🥞☕🏃♂️😎👍 #running #fathersday #longrun #breakfast #runcoachmike
Early a.m. miles with the town Run/Walk Club! 🏃♂️🏃♀️🏃♂️🏃♀️👍 #grouprun #runclub #running #runcoachmike #njrunning
Hot and running into 20 mph Plus headwinds made for an interesting run with wildly varying splits. 🏃♂️🌬️😡👍 #windyrun #running #gettingitdone #runcoachmike #njrunning
Running Questions: You can only keep ONE workout in your training forever: long runs, intervals, tempo runs, or easy runs. Which are you choosing? ❓🏃♂️🏃♀️❓ #runningquestions #running #run #runner #runcoachmike
Finally a cooler day for a nice run through town. Heart rate and pace both trending downward! Did everybody get out there yet and get your workout in? 🏃♂️😎👍 #running #consistency #runtraining #runcoachmike #njrunning
Running Questions: What's your running hydration strategy? ❓🏃♂️🥵💧👍 #runningquestions #runninghydration #runninggear #running #runcoachmike
Another hot one, but getting more and more heat acclimated as shown on my Garmin Fenix 8. A cool feature to show my progress, but more work to do in warm conditions. Another plus side was my pace dropping as I shake off some rust. 🏃♂️👍😎 #running #runtraining #leagueofgarmin #runcoachmike #njrunning
Good ending to my recovery week with a sunny run through the park. Picked up a face a little bit and felt great! 🏃♂️😎👍 #running #runtraining #runner #runcoachmike #njrunning
Super easy run/walk with the Fleet Feet 5k training group. 🏃♂️🏃♀️🏃♂️🏃♀️😎👍 #grouprun #runtraining #running #runcoachmike #njrunning
H-O-T out there, but group run night so we ran as a (smaller) group. The Brooks rep was on hand, so got to demo the Glycerin Max, which was super fun and bouncy. 🏃♂️🏃♀️🏃♂️🏃♀️🥵👍
Got in a few miles for the first time since this weekend's ultra distance event. Legs felt a little sluggish after a few days off but fell in line pretty well. 🏃♂️😎👍 #running #runner #run #runcoachmike #njrunning

My favorite day of running every year put on by Raritan Valley Road Runners. Three busses taking runners to meet up with five different pace "trains" chugging down the trail picking up more folks to join in. 🏃♂️🏃♀️🏃♂️🏃♀️🚂😎👍 #running #nationaltrailsday #ultramarathon #runcoachmike #njrunning
