Six weeks of good ol' fashioned distance running finished up last week. Some of you have run PRs already on nothing but distance runs and strides!! AWESOME!!! You will AMAZE yourself with what you accomplish over the next few months. Enjoy the ride - STAY FOCUSED!!!!!!!
This week we started our second phase of training - focusing on getting STRONG, and CONCENTRATING through discomfort.
Guys warmed up with 10 minutes and rolled into 20 minutes of tempo effort before cooling down another 10 minutes followed by drills and 8 strides for a total of 40 minutes and 6.5-7 for the day.
Workout WARRIOR: Arv, ran with the Rosas all the way. Casey, Danny, and Eddie tagged along as they finish their last week of pumping miles into the tank. You guys look GREAT!!! I have never seen any of you more fit. Hard work is coming. Stay FOCUSED. I cant wait to see what GREAT things you do!!!!
Ladies split into to groups. Wendy, Molly, Lauren Foss, The Sara(h)s, and Angel showed GUTS by stepping up and running WITH our top ladies. KEEP DOING THAT ... there is HONOR in your EFFORT!!! Each group warmed up 10 minutes and rolled into 15 minutes of tempo effort and 5 minutes cooling down for a total of 30 minutes. Manoly led with way with Go-berg and Simone in tow. Well done!!! With drills and strides the ladies put in 4-4.5 miles of QUALITY running today. Tempo runs take time to get a feel for. I'm proud of the effort you put in today!!!
Workout Warrior: Wendy He ... stay up longer next week!!!
In the movie Without Limits, Bill Bowerman's character is credited early in the movie with telling his runners: "Some might thing running is an absurd past time upon which to be exhausting ourselves. BUT, if you can MEANING in the type of running you have to do to stay on this team, chances are you'll find meaning in that OTHER absurd past time: life."
In other words. Are YOU finding VALUE or HONOR is what you do from 3-5? I hope so.
Enjoy the snow day
-Coach
