Into Autumn

The leaves on the trees are beginning to turn and the temperature is a good bit cooler. Autumn is on the way and the summer - what we had of it - is behind us. Time to get the schedule updated to take in the autumn and winter months.
After the massive success of the Olympic and Paralympic games things on the big stage disappear and it is down to the nitty gritty of the winter programme. Personally speaking, I like the colder weather and am quite happy running when it is really cold. As long as you wear clothes that are suitable things can be quite enjoyable.
Getting off the roads is good too and a good forest run can be quite refreshing as the ground is softer and does not jar as much as the road runs. Setting winter goals and targets is something everyone who runs should do. When you have something to aim for it can make every run worthwhile. The choice of events to participate in seems to get bigger and bigger every year, so hopefully with the correct amount of training being done during the autumn/winter months, the next event run could be completed in a personal best time which is always something to aim for.
