WEEK OF JULY 16

7/15/2018

0 Comments

 
Hi, Speedsters! 

As I’ve said many times over the years, my four main goals for my athletes are as follows:
1. Stay Injury Free!
2. Look forward to lacing up your running shoes! In other words, really enjoy your training!  
3. Comfortably fit your running into your lifestyle…keep your life scales balanced!
4. Successfully achieve your race time goal! 

And the best way to accomplish the first and most important goal (Staying Injury Free) is through OPEN COMMUNICATION and PROPER RECOVERY. 

*Open communication means personally acknowledging when something begins to go astray, like feeling extra fatigued or a new pain on one side of your body. And then, within 24 hours, letting your coach (in this case ME), know, so the two of us can then assess what is going on and how to immediately alleviate it. The longer you wait to communicate the bigger the problem becomes!  
*Proper recovery is one of the most neglected aspects of an athlete’s training regimen, as way too many runners either run at too fast a pace for their AHR runs (~70% of your total weekly mileage), do something too taxing on their non-running days or simply push themselves in life too much (lack of sleep, etc.). Try to run these critical AHR miles at least 90 seconds-2 minutes  slower/mile than your race pace.      

I hope all of you NPR fans will join me for our fundraiser 5K on July 28th. The course will be fast and all of the proceeds will be passed along to our friends at WMRA. If you can't run, please volunteer (we need 8 people to help).

I hope to see you this Wednesday!
Cheers!
