'Running every day, I can feel myself get fitter from week to week, and my cardiovascular fitness has improved tremendously,' Dillon Shije says.
"Running every day, I can feel myself get fitter from week to week, and my cardiovascular fitness has improved tremendously," Dillon Shije says.All of his life, 28-year old New Mexico resident Dillon Shije has been fast. He competed in national races when he was still in high school, easily zipping past competitors inand 8000m competitions.
He begins a streak with 35 miles a week, increasing his distance by 10 miles each week until he hits 105 miles—a level he stays at for three weeks. His Sunday long run is always 20 percent of his weekly mileage. Also, he says, rather than stick to the same number of miles each of the other six days, he varies them—one day might be four miles, and the next day is seven, for example. “Fluctuating my mileage throughout the week helps my performance and recovery," he says.
In the meantime, he's helping others on the reservation, especially teens, discover their own inner runners—which he believes is an important connection to their indigenous heritage."What I'm trying to teach, and to demonstrate, is that the more you run, the stronger you can get, in every way," he says."It creates a mindset for endurance, and for being more resilient."Elizabeth Millard is a freelance writer focusing on health, wellness, fitness, and food.
