Edutopia – Chris D’Ippolito
“When I started running eight years ago, I was out of shape and often struggled to finish a mile without stopping to catch my breath. However, by practicing regularly and completing shorter races along the way, I was able to complete my first half-marathon in 2018. Due to the recent school closures, trauma of the pandemic, and regular old summer slide, I worry that, as readers, many of our future students will resemble the out-of-shape runner that I once was. As a result, I’ve been thinking about ways to get middle and high school students up to speed in September.” (more)
