Run/walk intervals have been my go-to this summer for staying consistent in the Texas heat. They let me keep my heart rate in check, extend my time on my feet, and build endurance without overreaching. Whether I’m using timed segments, going by feel, or following my heart rate, the flexibility helps me adapt to the conditions and train in a way that’s sustainable. This approach works for anyone navigating challenging weather, rebuilding fitness, or simply wanting running to feel good!
How to Create a Wellness Support System That Works
A wellness support team is made up of the people who help and support you. Maybe it’s a friend who checks in after workouts, a coworker who walks with you at lunch, or a class where someone notices when you don’t show up. It might also include a therapist, a massage therapist, or a coach who helps you stay focused when life gets full. These little points of connection can make your routine feel more doable and your progress easier to keep going.
