Jeff Cunningham kicks off Season 4 with what he'd do differently if he could start over as a runner.
He raced his workouts, ran too few miles, gray-zoned his easy runs, skipped the weight room, under-fueled, and didn't sleep enough.
Here's what almost 40 years of running and coaching finally taught him. So, don't make the same mistakes kids.
